I was looking around the other night for a WordPress plugin to display the status of a World of Warcraft realm, but came up empty.  This left me very sad, but also gave me a reason to work on a new little project!  I decided to create my own WordPress plugin that would provide me [...]

About a week ago I came across a product called Presto while I was browsing the interweb. The first thing that caught my attention about Presto was its claim that you could “start your computer in seconds — like magic.” “This thing just has to be awesome,” I thought to myself. I [...]
