The pie was a lie

Seriously, how much better would Portal have been if they substituted Pie for Cake???  “The pie was a lie” just sounds sooo much better.

In any case, DaveD asked what the heck happened to the pie I promised.  Let me explain this with use of a pie chart.

[pdrpiechart data=”Time I spent fixing up my Pie Chart plugin=21|Time I spent writing a post about the MakerBot poll results=80|Time required to write polls results into a piechart=60″]

100% Chance of AWESOME

I rather enjoy writing WordPress plugins.  It started writing them out of necessity, but I’ve ended up writing several for frivolous reasons and fun.  One of my favorites is based upon the hard work of Rasmus.  Basically, it turns

[wordpress_shortcode data=’Totally awesome=99|Merely awesome=1‘]

into

[pdrpiechart data=”Totally awesome=99|Merely awesome=1″]

Which translates, as the title would suggest, into a 100% chance of awesome.

I dusted off this plugin (probably written about a year ago) because of the numbers associated with the MakerBot poll I recently ran.  I find it very helpful to view such data graphically.  Hopefully you will too.
