A collection of assorted WordPress stuff, for reference when the time comes to customize it for some projects:

Thumbnail HTML addition for upload.php fixes a minor annoyance with image upload.
Hebrew localization of the WordPress interface by Tomer Cohen.
Faking it: WordPress as CMS explains a hack that can be used to filter the posts shown in a page, according to categories. There’s a more ambitious(?) solution to the same need, The Show Categories plugin.
tutorial on writing plugins, and the Plugin API reference.

Remarc about Marc

I found a page with photos taken at the August Linux event, and while looking for pics of hot Linux chix I found that my old gaming aquaintance, Marc Volovic, played some role in a previous event of this sort. Apparently, he opened this earlier event with a greeting in Anglo-Saxon, which suits his MO.

Intrigued, I googled him up and found his big contribution to Levantine civilization compiled into the "Marc A. Volovic complete flame fortune file collection" (also available with a web-friendly face on an Iranian chap’s web-site). Also, it looks like he’s been working lately at a small consulting start-up called Ximpo, together with a guy I used to work with (well, in the same company as) called Dotan Shavit.
