Consider me gone for the next week, give or take

First of all, starting in a few hours, my host is going to be movnig this site to a different server. For approximately 48 hours, you could be getting one of two versions of this site (either the old server or the new server), depending on how quickly the DNS change propogates. So, any changes to the site (e.g. comments, trackbacks, etc) may misteriously disappear during that time. I'd suggest holding off on doing any of those until Saturday afternoon or so. (Note to self: look into possibility of creating a "Movable Type Go Offline" type thing, like some forums software have).

And, if you haven't heard already, around when the DNS changes should have worked themselves out, I will be getting married. Unfortunately, some people won't be able to make it, but that just means they'll owe me a visit sometime in the future. :) After that, Jenn and I will be on our honeymoon in another part of the state. Don't go making any sinister plans though. Our four attack cats and my sister-in-law will be watching over the apartment while we're gone.

What does this mean for the Plugin Manager you ask? Well, I've done some work over the last week or so (I do love taking time off work for once), but not enough to warrant a new release just yet. I'll try to finish it up and get a new version out by around Friday or Saturday of next week.

Things to look forward to in the next release:

  • Display of new plugins since the last update of the plugin list
  • mt-check-like functionality to try to ease the install problems people seem to be having

And hopefully soon I'll be able to iron our my ideas for doing plugin configuration though the Plugin Manager, so I can start implementing, so other plugin authors can take advantage of what the Plugin Manager can offer them.

Fun, fun, fun. :)
