So as I was lucky enough to have a few days off over the break I felt it was time to haul my butt into gear and get some development work done. I have managed to get a good few productive days work in and have the following outputs to share with the world.
Firstly for you bloggers, if you have heard of bit.ly and other such URL shortening services, you might be curious to check out YOURLS, which is essentially a self hosted URL shortener. I will leave it to your own decision as to why that might tickle your fancy but I have written a plugin for YOURLS which provides a social toolbar on shortened URLS.
You can check out the YOURLS Social Bar page on my Technical Wiki for all the details, if you have any feature requests please let me know so that I can start working towards the next major release.
The second item I have been working on is how to get the Atlassian Crowd Authentication connector for Apache compiled on a CentOS System running cPanel. To be honest unless you use the Atlassian suite of products AND run a cPanel server this second one probably won’t interest any of you that much but hey, it is definitely an achievement that I am proud of. You can check the how-to out on my wiki –> Compile Atlassian’s Crowd authenticator on CentOS server with cPanel.
So that has been my few days relaxation and enjoyment 
. Geeks and Open Source software FOR THE WIN .
