Now my blog flies, quick and easy site speed up
I have been going back and forth using all the tools out there, YSlow, Page Speed, CSS Usage, SEO this, SEO that, blah, blah, blah, and every time I tried to use this tool or that tool, or this plugin to WordPress or that plugin, something would break, and I never got it to go faster. Well, I ran across the WEBO Site SpeedUp plugin for WordPress, and in like 5 minutes, I installed the plugin, clicked a few buttons, and now, my YSlow grade went from a D to a B, load time tests are showing 2.75+ times faster loading. Amazing!! This thing is awesome. Check it out.
Recession far from over, we need jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs and more jobs
Every day, I listen to the media, the government, other people around me, tell me that this recession is almost done, we are on the upswing, and a bunch of other bullshit. Well, to me, and I am no economist, the following stats seem to contradict that. According to State of California, Employment Development Department, better known as 'the Unemployment Office' reported on March 26, 2010 that Feb unemployment rate stayed the same at 12.5% for the state, the same as it was in Jan of this year. Guess what people, December 2009 was 12.2%. Seems the "up" is heading the wrong direction.
Now this one is going to kill you. In 2008, EDD paid out 8.1 BILLION aka 8 billion 100 million aka ($8,100,000,000.00) dollars to unemployed Californians setting a state record. But...... in 2009, EDD set yet another record when it paid out, you ready for this, 20.2 BILLION aka 20 billion 200 million aka ($20,200,000,000.00) dollars to unemployed Californians. That works out to about $80 million dollars A DAY for the year. California has 1.4 million people out of work in Nov 2009.
I don't know a lot about economics and how to run a government, or how to report the news, but clearly, we need to start being told the truth on a much larger scale.

WP-ZFF Zend Framework Full
I needed to include Zend Framework in a special WordPress plugin I made for someone, so I figured I would make a plugin to include Zend Framework Zend and ZendX libraries for WordPress Plugins. Once I get the WordPress guys to approve the plugin and I will update this post with the download links, support links, etc.
Here's an example of how to use it, once it is installed and activated.
function plugin_function() {
$channel = new Zend_Feed_Rss('http://rss.example.com/channelName');
echo $channel->title();
echo $channel->category['domain'];
foreach ($channel as $item) {
echo $item->title() . "\n";
}
}
That's all you have to do instantiate the class.
Updates
