In the past two days, I took the time to investigate possible compatibility issues between Breadcrumb NavXT and WPML. Within Breadcrumb NavXT, every attempt is made to use the WordPress API, when possible, to maximize the compatibility with other plugins such as WPML. Occasionally, this is not enough and the findings of this investigation are presented in this article.

I’m Speaking at WordCamp Chicago 2014
My presentation titled “1 Million Downloads – Lessons Learned Growing a Plugin” was accepted as a lightning talk for WordCamp Chicago 2014. This presentation was inspired by a presentation I attended at WordCamp Chicago 2013. It is an abridged version of the talk I will be giving at WordCamp Minneapolis 2014, which is just a week an a few days away.

I’m Speaking at WordCamp Minneapolis 2014
My presentation titled “1 Million Downloads – Lessons Learned Growing a Plugin” was accepted into the second developer’s track for WordCamp Minneapolis 2014. This presentation was inspired by a presentation I attended at WordCamp Chicago 2013. It will cover my experiences (mistakes, triumphs, etc.) as I have grown Breadcrumb NavXT over the past 7 years.
This session will cover what I have found that works, and the mistakes I made as I’ve grown Breadcrumb NavXT into a plugin that has been downloaded over 1 million times. Topics covered include: support and release strategies, workflow and tools, and WordPress plugin coding tips. Naturally, this is a non-exhaustive list of the topics I’ll cover but it should give a feel for what I’ll be talking about.
Psst. If you haven’t registered yet, register for WordCamp Minneapolis while you still can. Last year we sold out of two day passes and Saturday only passes. Also, it is definitely worth participating in both Saturday and Sunday activities, Kiko and crew did an excellent job organizing last year and this year is looking to be even better.

Plex Home Theater + Funtoo on Intel’s NUC DN2820FYKH
Plex is really awesome. It has a server component that I’ve had running on my home server for over a year now. There are apps for Roku, Windows 8 and Android (I have all three) which automatically find my local server and can stream from it. The Android Plex app can even act as a remote for other Android, Roku, Windows 8, and the Plex Home Theater client. Rather than dive in a try to get Plex Home Theater running on raspberrypi, I went with the new NUC DN2820FYKH.
WPMark Twenty Twelve
WPMark consists of two components: a WordPress plugin and a JMeter test plan. The WordPress plugin populates an empty install with the requisite demo content, sets up the requisite options, and generates cached copies of portions of the site for testing.
