One of the projects that I’ve been working on is the ProBlogger Job Board, where people and companies can post jobs available for bloggers. It officially launched on August 30th, so I’m a little late with this post, but better late than never!

Build an iCal feed from your WordPress posts (plugin)
34 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’ve created a WordPress plugin which creates an iCal feed from your blog posts. It creates a calendar which can be added to pretty much any popular website (such as Google Calendar) or application (such as Microsoft Outlook).
I built this because I wanted to see when I made my WordPress posts, in a more graphical interface. I already used Google Calendar, so I would have loved to see my posts right in my calendar.

Silicon Valley millionaires who think they are poor
7 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I read an article on the New York Times late at night yesterday, which discusses how some millionaires in Silicon Valley ‘don’t feel rich’, even when they have a multi-million dollar roof over their heads. The response that the article has gotten is not very surprising, containing a mix of disgust, confusion, and outrage.
It’s no secret that many will feel a twinge of anger to know that millionaires, meaning people with, oh, $2.5 million in the bank, for instance, are still continuously worried about their financial well-being. Part of this stems from jealousy, which is natural, and part of it comes from the fact that you can’t help but feel sorry for these people who continue to work 70-80 hour work weeks even when they can retire to a life of relative comfort.

Facebook Applications that I am working on (nearly 2 million users and growing fast!)
9 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
It’s time I dispel some of the mystery surrounding the Facebook Applications that I have been spending my time building these past few months. I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I have been spending time building Facebook Applications on the Platform. Well, it’s time I mentioned what I’ve been working on.
A large number of the applications that I’ve built from the ground up with a partner (who wishes to remain nameless) consists of one group, which are basically TV shows, and another group, which contain several sports.

My thoughts on building Applications on the Facebook Platform
3 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’ve been working with the Facebook Platform for a few weeks now, and I have built a few dozen applications on it. It’s been a very interesting experience so far, not only because I have access to millions of users immediately, but also because of the unique development environment that is offered to me right from the start.
Developing for the Facebook platform is very different from other environments that I have worked with, including vBulletin when I was building forums, and WordPress when I was working at b5media, a blog network.

Post Stumbler WordPress plugin
19 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
I’m releasing a plugin which I’ll call the Post Stumbler WordPress plugin (originally to be called the “Stumble Upon” WordPress plugin, but it doesn’t use Stumble Upon at all - even though it tries to mimic its functionality) because that will help most people to understand what it does.
After building this, I found a post that was made over at TechCrunch which discusses about how it would be interesting if WordPress could have similar functionality to what Stumble Upon provides, so I hope that this fulfills that need.

Table of Contents for WordPress plugins

Do you have a lot of WordPress plugins and want an easier way of browsing them all? Would a Table of Contents for all of them help you browse through them faster? Then this WordPress plugin modification is for you!
First of all, here’s how it will look like in the end (I’ve hidden some plugins that I’d prefer not to appear in the screenshot):

Not blogging at Blog Herald anymore
2 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
Just a quick thing, but I’ve stopped blogging at Blog Herald. The posts that I’ve previously written are still accessible, though. I’ve got way too many other things going on these days so I’m trying to prioritize my time - especially with the many Facebook Applications that I’m working on.
I’d like to thank Tony for giving me the opportunity to write there - it’s been a great experience the whole time!

70 strangers meet to build a startup over the weekend
6 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
70 people who have never met each other before have discussed online to build a startup over this weekend. It’s called Startup Weekend. TechCrunch mentions it here. The product that they are building is called VoSnap, and it’s supposed to help a large group of people agree on decisions quickly. I’m guessing that this was partly inspired by the situation that they themselves are currently in.

Year of the Linux Desktop is 2008
5 Comments - CLICK HERE to see! »
Maximum PC is convinced that 2008 is the “Year of the Linux Desktop”, taking into account the fact that people are moving away from Vista and moving towards a cheaper alternative. I imagine that people are not only moving away from Vista to Linux, but away from Windows to Mac OS X as well.
Personally, I’m still waiting for Mac OS X Leopard!
