Added the following plugins to my WP install:

  1. Subscribe to comments : allows readers to receive notifications of new comments that are posted to an entry.
  2. Comment email responder : emails commenter when an admin replies to the comment, if commenter is not subscribed to email updates via Subscribe-to-Comments.
  3. TimeZoneCalculator : Calculates different times and dates in timezones with respect to daylight saving on basis of utc. For my own convencience the below of all my pages are now showing current CET and PDT/SLT time. In 24 hours format that is! But I was actually looking for something that would allow me to tag the blogposts with both CET and SLT time. I think that might be possible by tweaking the ‘time of the day’ plugin.
  4. Wordpress OpenID(+) : Wordpress OpenID Registration, Authentication, and Commenting. Disabled again because it is not working at the moment. Need to beg the hosting company for this and/or this first.
  5. Random Words : adds the ability to play with ‘random’ lists without to much hassle. I’m sure I shall think of some neat ways to use it. Either that or it stays ‘disabled’ until eternity. ;)
  6. Pownce plugin : Displays your public Pownce messages for all to read. I figured as Myg got me an invite for Pownce and it seems to be Twitter ‘evolved’, I should give it a try.
    At first glance I like it: better ‘conversation’ functionality added, the special link & events format is neat, no more being limited to 140 characters and file sharing possible. I don’t know if I will end up continuing to like use Pownce - I liked Twitter for about 3 weeks too - but as long as I do, you can find my latest public Pownce message in the sidebar. *points to the right* Just click the comment number to reply using Pownce.
    I have two invites for ‘Twitter evolved’ Pownce left, so let me know if you want one. And Myg had/has some leftovers too. And for those already on there: feel obliged free to add me. ;) Now let’s wait for the API and a PownceHUD?

Mozilla Firefox addons installed:

  1. Technorati Rank in status bar : shows a webpage’s technorati rank in the status bar. Out of curiousity and as an extension for SearchStatus 1.20.
  2. Split Browser Window : This splits the content area of the browser window as you like. It will help you in various cases. You can split browser infinitely, as many as your RAM and your screen allow. Enjoy split and split to your heart’s content! Ideal for blogging. Use the upper part of the browser window for writing, the below part for browsing through the (re)sources. Although alt+tab and/or ctrl+tab work fine too. Let’s just call it lazyness. *grins*

Which plugin did you use Vint? I found 2 and so far am not really impressed. Took them off already.

Smiley: Done. Seems I have 7 left again now.
Dandellion: Nah. It’s not. But I see you’ve joined anyhow? :D
DesertWolf: I used the one I linked too. Still waiting for one like the onces for twitter though, that allow you to post an weekly ‘overview’ or whatever.

@Vint: Thanks! By the way, how do I “link” Twitter and Pownce? I have TSL Profiles linked to Twitter lol.

TSL Profiles Twitter Pownce xD.

Aww, arrows didn’t work!

Redone:

“TSL Profiles (connected to) Twitter (connected to) Pownce xD.”

By the way, Vint, what’s your Twitter name?

Normally I forwarded DesertWolf’s solution find to you? And my twitter name: it is the RL owner that used twitter for a while. Vint did never get a twitter account. I do have a jaiku one that I’m not using. ;)
