Just pushed ChromaTweet.com live, a little 1-day project that displays tweets mentioning colours in colourful boxes. Go check it out! Works best on a big screen, if left for a while.

I couldn’t find a plugin, and thought it would be very web 2.0 to have my current location on my blog, so decided to write a plugin. Turns out it’s much easier than I anticipated, location is pulled from the published XML and stuck into a static Google map. Easy.

Seeing as it was so straight forward, I went the extra step further and made it customisable from the plugin admin section. If it’s of any interest to anyone, here it is:

Update: The plugin has been approved by Wordpress. Success.

Update: I’ve made some changes, the plugin should now be compatible with PHP4 (in theory) and locations can now be cached. If it didn’t work before, please try again.
