Wordpress plugin: Slug Trimmer
at 9:10 am on Saturday, 15 July 2006
I have got sick of URLs that end in really long post slugs that look-something-like-this-and-are-far-too-long so I wrote a little plugin that shortens post slugs more intelligently than simply truncating them.

New site
I have decided that I should blog about investment on a separate site.
The new site is The Strategy Blog. I intend to put a fair amount of work into it - have a lot of ideas that simply do not fit into any of my other sites and it seems a shame to waste them.
