MTRecentImages plugin error.
So i just made 2 posts using the Markdown text formatting plugin. (this is my third).
My plugin expects real HTML. Markdown (and pretty much any other text formatting plugin) may not actually have HTML in there. Fun! What i need to do is figure out if i can manually call the Markdown formatter before looking for images if an entry is indeed formatted using Markdown. Until I figure this out, my recent images page & montage page are not updating properly. Grrrr.
misty morning hop
Update: To fix my recent images stuff, i have converted this entry away from Markdown.
Aside from being woken up MUCH too early today, i was greeted by a beautiful mist over the back yard. Juliana and I were very impressed.
Gotham Invasion!
The Batman Begins production crew is doing some shooting in downtown Chicago, and on my way to work, I passed by a parking lot holding some vehicles for Gotham's Finest.

funny test failure
so I was writing some tests for a module at work that interfaces with another company's product and pulls down reporting data. Sorry, i will not be naming names. :) One of the tests i always like to write is a test to make sure that a call will fail properly as well as succeed. So I proceed to write the following test.
my $api = MODULE->new({ username => 'invalid', password => 'invalid' });
ok( !$api->login(), "invalid login should fail." );
To my anger, my login failure test kept failing! I looked at the code a couple of times for errors before it occurred to me that invalid/invalid could actually be someone's account. Sure enough, a manual trip to the site in question confirmed that invalid/invalid was a real login. That is insanity! Add some rules to enforce at least some type of decent password.
Stunning.

me slow, wife fast
Well, i was going to make a post about how cool it was that tom waits gives a big ups to rockford (my home town), but Tracey beat me to it.
As she has said repeatedly over the last couple of months, "I have beaten you to blogging like 20 times."
Harumph.

big release for MTRecentImages
Ok. After this post, i will get to some more interesting things, such as my growing interest in ruby, more fun music stuff and some random garbage. Once my schedule starts to even out, look for more regular postings.
Anyway, thanks to some helpful comments, i have added a few new features to the plugin.
- Offset to start the list of images off after N images
- Include/Exclude categories by name or number
- Image details can be generated as well as image thumbnails.
The plugin can be downloaded from http://www.multiply.org/perl/mtplugs/ and be saved right over your old plugin. You can also read the documentation for the plugin at that link.
What I would like to do is compile a list of people using the plugin and show off some nice examples. If you use it and want me to add you to the list, trackback this post or post a comment.
A couple of the sites that I know are using it come from the very people that helped me form this new functionality. Thanks everyone!!! * rearviewWindow.com * Everything New York * Geren Mortensen * Central Maryland Photographers' Guild
