Attention everyone: Mitch Ngo has gone missing! Mitch left in search of developers for his Priva CMS project, and has yet to return. If anyone has information on the whereabouts of Mitch Ngo, please email findmitch{at}mitchngo.com
Mitch Ngo has been a part of our hearts from the beginning, and even though he is currently missing, I am sure we will find him shortly.
For any of those that are still interested, Mitch’s last known locale was heading toward University Puget Sound in Washington, but could be anywhere. Mitch is often found exploring new areas, and getting into bad cell phone reception areas, so he may just be unavailable.
All this comes days before the release of Mitch-WorksTM, a plugin for wordpress that will allow direct streaming from blogs, while minimizing bandwidth use. In this way, a blog can be signed up for an RSS feed of, Mitch Ngo’s Development Blog, for example, and only the headers and excerpts are transferred to the host blog. Instead of merely linking to the other blog, and having the page change, this would allow a seamless, Ajax powered, process to download, cache (for later viewing), and then integrate the full post on the host site. This allows developers to link to offsite content, while still keeping users on your page, instead of Mitch Ngo’s page.
With Mitch Ngo’s Mitch-WorksTM (to be renamed later, Mitch-Works is just the codename), you will also be able to load content from a multitude of preset blogs, and any blog or XML content can be easily integrated, as long as you know the target. (It will have AutoDetect, but in the case of custom content, you will need to specify which tags you wish to use).
And it doesn’t end there! With Mitch-Works, you can also seamlessly load ANY web content into your wordpress blog. In posts, the syntax would look like:
<!-- © Mitch Ngo 2009-->
<!--wp_mw_getpost[http://www.mitchngo.com/feed]-->
Simply as that! Oh ya, Mitch Ngo just arrived and says thank you all for reading! We need your support!
