Take a step back from the bridge and there’s an alleyway leading up towards Shandon and the north side of the city.

Smarty and WP, again
Last week I revived my interest in integrating WordPress and Smarty again. I tested the latest release and I’m very impressed by the wealth of options and configurability! I want to use it myself!
To that end I need to get Smarty in there. I wrote a script that fetches a list of functions from the files in wp-includes and outputs a list of Smarty instructions to mirror the current WordPress Template Tags. That’ll make it easy to mirror the tags as they develop.
Kae Verens is doing sterling work finding out what’s working or not!
I think I’m at the stage where Smarty templates are working reasonably ok, but if caching is enabled it falls down because updates to the site need to inform Smarty. That’s relatively easy to do of course!
Next on the list is multi-blog support and that’ll be tricky. It’ll probably be some combination of the Permalink structures already in WP, and prepending the site ID to the URL somewhere. I’m looking at template-functions-links.php – Maybe in the get_settings( 'home' ) bit I can add the wpblog variable. *ponder*
Later… I want to get support for multi-blogs into my hack too before I release anything. Here’s a related post about that. I should have something for people to try next week!
Independence Way – fuel ethanol?
“Independence Way” by Sam Jaffe is an intriguing article that explores the future of our energy needs. It all sounds promising if correct!
Bridge Under Construction
A bridge is being built across the River Lee from Pope’s Quay to the Coal Quay. This is only one of a number of snaps I took of it being laid across from bank to bank.
Hey Zak, You Want Something?
Oooh… Stretch! Zak looking for his sister who was sitting on top of their play-thingy!

Pile On the Juice
A pylon near the ESB Plant in Blackrock. It carries power across to the north side of river and has been the subject of numerous court actions over the years. Residents close by have objected to the eye-sore, as well as dangers of having a large amount of electricity travelling on wires overhead!

Carol has loads of GIMP related stuff on her site, including tutorials, scripts and photos. Great stuff!
Mouse Balls
A recent thread on mouse ball cleaning spurred Rick Moen to post this story to the list.. hehe.
Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls.
MINI – XXL Size
What would the Mini look like in XXL Size? Hehe. Includes obligitory swimming pool and model shaking water out of her hair…
