Michael Heilemann contacted me with an idea for a plugin, and I ended up writing it yesterday evening.

The plugin simply makes posts older than a certain age private, so you automatically clean up traces of youthful folly from the internet.

Through some careless development, and an assumption that I had my database on automated backup, I almost destroyed the database structure for my blog yesterday evening.

Fortunately, I got everything restored with a bit of SQL magic – but if something is weird, please let me know.

Brian's Threaded Comments are now officially driftwood.
They've been badly maintained for a while, but now it's official.

There's no need to maintain the plugin anymore, since WordPress has now built-in threaded comments that are very similar to mine, which work with themes and plugins and don't require you to mess around with your comments.php and all [...]

Finally, I got some time to update Brian's Latest Comments a bit.

Without further ado, here's the plugin, nice and widget friendly

Brians Latest Comments 2.8.0

Enjoy.
