A couple of years ago we had a support request regarding Chinese characters in offloaded files, I’ve used the example file name ever since for testing, including acceptance tests. I’ve only just now bothered to see what the file name translates too…

Snippet Pixie 1.0 has been released!
Now autostarts on login by default, and tabbing into the body entry field selects all text, making adding new items a little bit quicker.

While you're re-skinning your web app with NES.css you should definitely be listening to Pretty Eight Machine by Inverse Phase, which is an excellent 8-bit tribute to probably my favourite album of all time, Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails.

WP Cron Pixie 1.4 Released
Just released WP Cron Pixie 1.4, the latest update to my little dashboard widget to view the WordPress cron, and run an event now rather than later.
In this release we have the following changes…
- Added checkbox to control whether example cron events should be added to cron.
- Added checkbox to control whether the display should auto refresh.
- Added “Refresh” icon for manual refresh of data.
- Fixed not all strings in UI being translatable.
- Elm 0.19 frontend.
A couple of things not mentioned in the changelog are that the “Refresh” icon does a nifty little spin as data is being refreshed or events are being run manually to give a little UI feedback, and this version has been tested with WordPress 5.0 beta 2.
It’s available from the WordPress plugin repository, or from its GitHub repository.
I had a lot of fun developing this version, using the Elm language for web development is so fast and efficient. Elm is a small language packed with power, the combination of a functional and static typed compiled language with a well thought out application architecture make for a great development platform.

Big day for me today, after months of work, we at Delicious Brains released WP Offload Media 2.0, our plugin for offloading your WordPress Media Library to cloud storage.
It used to be called WP Offload S3 as it worked exclusively with Amazon S3, but now that we've added support for offloading your WordPress Media Library to DigitalOcean Spaces too, seemed like a great time to change the name!
I made a lot of changes to the internals of WP Offload Media in preparation for this release, previously the plugin was scattered with S3 specific code, now it's much more adaptable to alternate storage providers. In fact it should be a lot easier to work in a different SDK than the AWS PHP SDK that we're currently using for both Amazon S3 and DigitalOcean Spaces, you know, should we decide to add something like Google Cloud Storage support via the Google Cloud Client Library for PHP.
