I’ve released a new plugin, and updated an existing one.

The new plugin is Simple Buzz Link – this creates a URL for any post/page, allowing you to share it on the newly released Google Buzz.

Get it from the official WordPress page or read more on this site.

I’ve also updated Simple Social Bookmarks, adding Google Buzz, Yahoo! Buzz  and Yahoo! Bookmarks to the list of social bookmarking sites.

Again, get it from the WordPress page or read more on this site.

3G Watchdog

My HTC Hero, on a T-Mobile contract, comes with “Unlimited Internet*”. But that asterisk at the end then points to a line which states “Subject to fair usage policy”. However, that line doesn’t actually link to anything. Thankfully a quick Google finds the result.

Basically, my “Unlimited Internet” is 3GB. Now I’m not going to go off on a rant about this, especially as the ASA have deemed that as little as 250MB can be regarded as “unlimited”. Indeed, most network providers are supplying 512MB of 1GB limits, so my 3GB is quite good.

But, how to monitor usage?

First of all install the Android App 3G Watchdog – this will track your 3G data usage. You’ll now need to know 2 important pieces of information – your usage cap and what time of the run that cap runs from. In the case of a T-Mobile Android account, this is the aforementioned 3GB and from the 1st of the month (rather than the date on which you started your account).
