The Shtick

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.2 has been officially released.

This update enables the use of extended character sets in tweets. As this is the first upgrade of The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus, enhancements have been made to the installation process to facilitate upgrades. There is now a new plugin option allowing the plugin to be safely updated with uninstalling and reinstalling and risking the loss of important settings.

Work has progressed to generate the import files for The Glyph Project vocabulary and I've uploaded 100 vocabulary pages and refined the process a bit. Work is expected to progress much more noticeably as 100 word and phrase pages are added every week and reviewed.

Eventually, import files for many of the glyphs will also be generated.

Work continues transcribing texts.

With the release of The Shtick Image Editor 1.2 rc 1, the tool window has been updated to work as a dockable toolbar, and improvements have been made to memory management. Various tools have been improved and a new Axis tool has been added to draw a simple axis for charts, and scaling illustrations. Go to downloads to get the latest update.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.1 has been officially released.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus is a plugin designed for Nucleus CMS to enable automatic tweeting (messaging using the Twitter service) to announce when a user has posted a new blog item or even made a comment. (Tweets are posted to the Twitter account of the user who performed the action.)

In connection with this initial release a page has been created on the Nucleus wiki to make the plugin available to the Nucleus using public, where one can find the current wish list of features that are planned to be incorporated into the next version of the tool.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus is written in PHP, and is provided free to the public.

After years of waiting, a new version of The Shtick has been prepared, dedicated to making current and future products, services, and projects available. Current listings include The Shtick Image Editor, The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus, the Gospel and Scripture Topical Guide, and a new wiki-based version of The Glyph Project. It is hoped that with the new website focus, The Shtick will be able to better organize its efforts to develop its projects.

The old website's content can be found at old.theshtick.org.
