Earlier this week, I was happy to have the chance for Optaros to host a BostonPHP meeting again – we used to do so in the old Canal St. offices but hadn’t done so in a while – certainly not since moving to Milk St.
The topic was MediaWiki in production, with presentations by Greg Rundlett of Harvard’s Initiative in Innovative Computing (IIC) and Daniel Barrett, who wrote the (O’Reilly) book on MediaWiki, and uses it in production at VistaPrint.

Updated for 0.9.3 (Jan 13 2009)
Updated for 0.9.2. (Jan 7 2009)
Updated for 0.9.1 (Jan 2 2009)
I’ve been working on an update to WPBook, the WordPress to Facebook plugin I co-developed.
I haven’t yet released this version on the WordPress plugin site, but I do think it’s stable enough for use – try it out and let me know what you think.
I’m using it here: http://apps.facebook.com/openparenthesis/.
This version allows an “add to profile” button inside the app, which presents the five most recent posts in a profile box – can be on the user’s main profile or inside the “boxes” tab.
It also enables – if the “application settings” inside Facebook are set – for the blog app to be added to FaceBook “pages.”

Presented today at BarCamp Boston on programming for the Twitter API, based on the retweeter project I did for SXSW this year. You can grab the slides or the code.
Went better than the WordPress talk yesterday, in terms of time – easier to describe Twitter (which everyone already knows) than to try to cover the WordPress plugin API, the Facebook API, and the plugin I wrote to connect the two all in less than 30 minutes.

It’s been a busy week in the Boston area for me, with lots of “meat space” (not my favorite description, as a vegan) or “real world” (not my favorite description as a net citizen) meetings to go with various online groups.
