On By westiIn Development, WordPress

I am please to announce a new WordPress plugin which allows you to peek under-the-hood at the new cache in WordPress v2.0 (and v2.0.1) and to see what it is doing. A semi-transparent window is displayed for the admin user at the top right hand corner of your blog. It also allows the admin user to easily clear the cache from within the WordPress adminitration interface.

IT Crowd

On By westiIn Asides, Useful Links

“IT Crowd” is a promising looking new sitcom starting on Channel 4 this coming Friday. At the moment you can download the first episode to watch from the Channel 4 website. I have and it is very funny especially for someone who works in IT it reminds me a little of the humour of the BOFH. I recommend that the next thing you do is follow this link to download the episode direct: http://edge.channel4.com/theitcrowd/episode1_c4web.wmv

We went out for a lovely meal last night to celebrate Sam’s birthday, here is my review of the restaurant in which we ate:

The Fox Inn advertises itself with the phrase “Famous For Fish” which it truly deserves. The pub style restaurant is suitably cosy and the menu has a good choice of fish dishes together with a number of vegetarian and meat dishes.

I started my meal with the Spicy Fish Stew served in a crusty bread roll – This was an imposing starter and the fish stew was suitably spiced and varied including a number of different types of fish and seafood in a thick rich spicy tomato broth. To follow my fish stew I selected one of the daily specials which was plaice served with spicy cajun prawns and a side order of boiled new potatoes, these were both very enjoyable.

Overall, the meal was lovely and we had a really good time. The Fox Inn is definitely somewhere I would recommend and will be visiting again.
