AtD Updates

I’m leaving town for a wedding this weekend so here is an update.

Rule Updates

I expanded the grammar checker’s coverage picking up the wrong verb tense.  In this case it’s after auxiliary verbs with a not form.   Here are some mistakes from Wikipedia-Simple:

… samurai didn’t accepted them as noble warriors , because …
He did not left the island after his …

I went on this rule making tangent after reading: “I didn’t thought that …” on a programmer’s blog.  I hope these new rules help some of you out.

I also updated several style rules and added a few new ones.

Welcome PHP List

After the Deadline now features a plugin for PHP List, the open source newsletter manager.  This came after a request from someone on IRC.  I do listen and if something is feasible, will do my best to make a plugin happen.  Of course contributions are welcome too.

Response to AtD

White Shadow has written up his reaction to AtD at his blog.  Bryan at CMS Report published the announcement for AtD.  And we had a lively discussion on Hacker News.

Also, I’m presenting After the Deadline at the Ann Arbor, MI New Tech Meetup on 16 Jun 09 at 6pm.
