I manage and host my sisters Cub Scout pack website.

Today was tidy up time during lunch; sadly the site hasn’t been updated in a long time – it was running an old, old version of WordPress, Gallery 2 and lots of pre-release plugins.

I am in the process of replacing all of my hand-crafted PHP hacks with plugins; some are off the shelf; others I am hacking (converting my direct hacks into plugins).

I really like the BM Custom Login plugin from Ben Gillbanks – he’s the same guy that made the Regulus theme.

I’m testing out the Microsoft Connector bus for my commute – I figure an hour of listening to podcasts, audiobooks or music combined with blogging and email could be more productive, less costly - and certainly greener – than driving.

Music for the commute today:

Ting Tings, Goldfrapp, T-Rex, Noah and the Whale, British Sea Power.
