Egg Nog

Egg Nog

After you make egg nog yourself you’ll wonder why you ever bothered with that gooey yellow stuff in the carton. It only takes a couple of minutes and there are only a couple of ingredients. To make two servings you’ll need:

  • about a cup of heavy cream
  • 2 eggs
  • about a tablespoon of honey
  • nutmeg
  • booze, such as whiskey, bourbon…or Armagnac

Whisk the eggs until they’re very fluffy, then whisk in the honey and booze (which you can pretend will kill any salmonella in the eggs). Folding in the cream may maintain the fluffiness, but I usually just whisk that in too, along with a little freshly grated nutmeg. Pour it into some glasses, grate on a little more nutmeg, and enjoy!

Trying out iphone posting…

I got the WordPress iPhone app a while ago but haven’t tried it – Safari actually works pretty well itself. Looks like there’s a way to post photos though, which sounds fun. Here’s one of a disgusting fur pile:

Flickrpress 0.3 for WP 2.7

I updated flickrpress to work with WordPress 2.7 and also added and fixed some things. It’s now possible to insert a variety of photo sizes, rather than just tiny squares. There’s a template function that you can use in your sidebar to display some flickr photos. Note that you’ll need a flickr API key to use this plugin. Here’s an example of what this plugin does:

Photopress 1.5 for WP 2.7

This will likely need some refinement, but major bits seem to be working with WordPress 2.7. If you notice things that still need to be fixed, please let me know.

Thanks to Brad for noticing the broken link!

Thanks to afperea for noticing the broken demo album – fixed by refreshing permalinks. Wondering if there’s a way for Photopress to do that…

Photopress 1.4: final bugfix for WP 2.6

This version is only for WP 2.6-ish – I’m working on getting my plugins working well with WP 2.7 over the next couple of days. The upgrade to WP 2.7 is going to be rough on my users, but hopefully they’ll like it once they adapt.

In the meantime, Steven Alm found an issue with album display – if you aren’t using permalinks it’s much easier to use the page ID than the page slug, but Photopress wasn’t looking for page IDs. This version fixes the problem with a spot in the options to specify a page ID for the album page. I also noticed the album style stuff wasn’t getting inserted properly. Finally, this version fixes a huge performance issue when using Photopress with other plugins that use preg_replace.
