Happy to report that I have been awarded a flash grant from the Shuttleworth foundation to continue development of Plexus! Watch this space for developments – there are bound to be quite a few…

The Goal Post
This tweet was sent from plxcli.py to Plexus, which correctly dispatched it to the Twitter sharer module. Which means Plexus sharers are now (barely) working. Which means, nine months after I thought it all up, the basic structure of Plexus has been realized. Whee!
Building Your Own Plex
The social graph – known as the ‘Plex’ – is the core database used by Plexus. I have been working on some modules over the past few days that will allow you to bootstrap your own Plex based on two existing social graphs – Google and Twitter. First, download the new repo. Now go to [...]
Android and Plexus

You’ll need to install that first, then install the Python interpreter. Next, copy the entire Plexus source code tree [...]

Halfway There!
Yes, things have been quiet. But not because of any lack of activity. Indeed, the code elves at Casa Plexus have been toiling away both night and day, writing the various modules that make up the prototype of Plexus. At this point the prototype is roughly half complete. There’s an API which uses SMTP and [...]
