Dear lord this is one sick product. I already have enough of Guinness-the-dog’s hair flying around the house right now to stuff a mattress, nevermind having an actual pillow of the pup around when he’s gone.
When Guinness-the-dog’s gone, his hair’s going with him.

Most peope won’t care about this, but I’ll mention it anyway. I use a free web-based trouble ticketing system at work called “wreq,” and for some reason I decided to check out it’s website. To my astonishment, Mr. Yu has actually provided the first upgrade to the software in over four years! It’s not much, but it’s something.
A while back I registered a project over at SourceForge called phpWreq, which is my attempt at rewriting the wreq code to use PHP and MySQL (vs. the DBM files it currently uses). I realize there are other projects out there like Bugzilla, but that’s more for bug reporting than sysadmin-like tasks. I’ve already written the code for importing current wreq databases into MySQL tables, but that’s as far as time has allowed me to get. If you happen upon this page and have interest in helping move this puppy along, Send me a note.

Shameless plug here. I’m doing more paid blogging over at TVSquad lately. Right now I’m covering ‘The Shield’ on Tuesday nights. There’s hopes to make the blog a big contender for TV news and recaps. Check it out sometime.
I’d handle ‘Lost’ and ‘Carnivale’ if I could guarantee I’d watch it every night on-time, but all I can muster up right now is 10 P.M. on Tuesdays.

I was using an old WordPress hack called Show Categories to get around the problem of my not wanting all posts of certain categories showing up on the front/main page. It worked…somewhat. But there were things it didn’t work on, such as feeds and sometimes searches and archive links. There are additional hacks I could do to fix that, but I thought instead that perhaps a new plugin was in order.
This plugin, which is very much in beta, only works in WordPress 1.5+. It adds a new menu link under the “Manage” admin menu titled “Category Visibility”. Once you activate the plugin, go to this menu and you’ll see the visibility settings for all categories. So far I’ve listed options for “Front”, “List”, “Search”, “Feed” and “Archives”, defined as:
I did not get a chance to test with inherited categories, so if that breaks let me know. I may get around to testing that sometime.
You can grab the latest version here (Version: 0.31)
NOTE: If you’re using the default download of WordPress version 1.5 (i.e., NOT 1.5.1 or above) download the version here. There’s a database change made in the nightlies that made this necessary for now.
IMPORTANT: As of version 0.28, these versions will create a new table and not use your existing one, so write down the current values if you’re using an older version of this plugin before installing and running this version!
