Among the indepent softwares, Piwik is the best one.

Cool Twitter Client-Twitux

Twitux

Twitux

I have twitter account for couple years, but hardly used it. I used fanfou for alternative. It’s interesting that lots of friends started following me on twitter, so I decided to try twitter.

The very thing I started to try twitter-like server is to find a good client. Login on the web site and  post a new miniblog is silly.  There are lots of client on twitter app.  If you want your twitter client to run on your linux desktop,  Twitux is very good for gnome desktop user. Twitux is based on GTK.

It’s quit easy to install a light client, for ubuntu user, just run

sudo apt-get install twitux.

wordpress Plugin:Automatic Tag to Link

Introduction:

This plugin will automatic add links to technorati tags or your blog’s tags where the words in your post match the tags of that post.

The most greatest things is that the plugin will not actually change your posts’ content in order to add links, so it will not hurt your posts. If you don’t want to use this plugin, just deactive it, and all links the plugin generated will automatic disapper just like they automatic come out, then your blog will return to its original status.

Go to Settings->Tag to Link for more information.

Match Rules

Here are some rules when and how the convert take actions. These rules are *only effective* after version 0.5

  1. If you tagged a post ‘hello world’ ‘hello’ ‘world’ and the content of your post is ‘hello world, I’m coming’, then this plugin will add link to ‘hello’, ‘world’, but not ‘hello world’, because there are links already. The rule can be simplily called *Short Tag First*.
  2. If you tagged a post ‘hello world’ ‘hello’ ‘world’ and the content of your post is ‘bigworld, hellod, world’, then this plugin will add link to the last ‘world’, and no links will be added to ‘world’ of ‘bigworld’, or ‘hello’ of ‘hellod’.
