Voddler, the hot movie hub, recently closed their gates after their service had been compromised. They have now just relaunched, sporting a completely new interface, where the biggest difference is the Voddler client being moved to the web. The reasoning for this according to official sources, is to make Voddler more accessible, since the original client [...]

Download WP Require Auth at Wordpress Plugins
I created a small scratch-an-itch plugin called WP-Requre-Auth a while ago. Its purpose is to disable access to a Wordpress blog if a user is not logged in. I am guessing the download statistics for this niche plugin will not exactly skyrocket, but now it is at least findable.

Almost exactly a year ago I tried out the Disqus commenting system with great success.
