Wordpress Security : Five tips to keep you a wee bit safer

• HTML5 <video> ambilight javascript plugin
  Really neat: Ambilight for <video>. Read how it’s done over at the developer’s blog. It could be smoother (it doesn’t feel perfect yet) but then I guess your CPU would start clogging.

• Gecko 1.9.3 pre-release: Out-of-Process Plugins
  Great news from the Mozilla/Gecko team: “The main feature of this release is out-of-process plugins: on Windows and Linux, plugins such as Flash and Silverlight run in a separate process from the browser. If a plugin crashes it will not crash the browser, and unresponsive plugins are automatically restarted. (Note that we are working on this for Macs as well, but is not part of this preview release.) We are making this preview release available so that it can get wider testing and generate feedback.” — Looking forward to see this merged within Firefox (Planned for 3.7 (early 2011) if I’m not mistaken) / Now that I’m looking forward: Jägermonkey/Jaegermonkey looks promising too :-)

• TotalFinder 0.7
  A new version of TotalFinder has been released. This version gives us dual-pane support along with some nice tweaks (such as tabs now actually being Chrome-alike tabs)

• Plupload
  The developers of TinyMCE bring us Plupload, a highly usable upload handler: “Using Plupload one can upload multiple files using Google Gears, Silverlight, Flash, BrowserPlus or HTML5. Flexible configuration allows you to choose all or only some of these upload “runtimes” with fallback in the order you specify.”

• HipHop for PHP (formerly known as HyperPHP)
  As hinted before, in an interview with a Facebook employee: “HipHop for PHP isn’t technically a compiler itself. Rather it is a source code transformer. HipHop programmatically transforms your PHP source code into highly optimized C++ and then uses g++ to compile it. HipHop executes the source code in a semantically equivalent manner and sacrifices some rarely used features — such as eval() — in exchange for improved performance. HipHop includes a code transformer, a reimplementation of PHP’s runtime system, and a rewrite of many common PHP Extensions to take advantage of these performance optimizations.” — Too bad they didn’t keep the name HyperPHP though …

• TinyMCE 3.3 and jQuery
  With the release of TinyMCE 3.3b1 a lot of jQuery Goodness such as being able to write/do stuff like tinymce.get(0).$('body').html('Hello world'); and $('#textareaid').tinymce().selection.setContent('Hello world!'); has landed upon us! Wow!

• NetExport Firebug Extension
  NetExport is a very neat Firebug Extension created by Jan Odvarko, one of the main Firebug contributors. Basically this extension lets you save traces from Firebugs Net Panel into an HTTP Archive (HAR file). The true beauty of this plugin is seen when passing such a created archive into the HTTP Archive Viewer. Be sure to try some of the examples, and be amazed!
