WordPreSt reStructuredText Plugin For WordPress

WordPreSt adds a reStructuredText input mode to the WordPress post/page editor. Once installed, reStructuredText may be input directly into the editor and converted to HTML with the click of a mouse. The reSt source is saved with each post/page for future edits. The rendered HTML output is stored as the actual post content to allow modification after rendering if desired. Plugin settings control the features of the reSt convertor and include automatic table of contents links, post title generation from reSt, header level customization, and others. A “View document source” link is also (optionally) available for each post.

WordPreSt requires no template modifications and every effort has been made to ensure a truly seamless integration into WordPress.

The new-style Zend data model

A Follow-up on the Zend Framework Quickstart Tutorial: The Model

Wenbert Del Rosario explores what seems to be the "new way" of defining Zend Framework models. I've abstracted this functionality out into a model base class, and it's eliminated a TON of boilerplate already. When I decide what standard features to use, the base model will be indispensable for my Zend apps in the future.

Unison Access Upgrade

Unison Access, the usenet service provided by Panic Inc., gets unlimited transfer.

I'm seriously considering jumping on this deal. $9.99/month for *unlimited* usenet? You can't beat that.

Leverage Twitter’s Distraction Value to Stay Focused

Twitter by nature is a stream of distractions. I personally never keep Twitter open and visible while I’m working because I know I’ll be too easily derailed from whatever I’m doing. If Life Hacker reported that a single email arriving in your inbox can cost you over a minute of mental recovery time, Twitter’s rapid-fire updates could prove to be literally stupefying.
