Please excuse me while I kick something
For some unknown reason (and remember this is a professional software developer and web designer talking) the web server this installation of wordpress is sat on will no longer let me upload files.
Severing the many tentacles of Cheese and Beans
I’ve been using posterous to throw thoughts into this blog for a while now. It’s a clever system that lets you publish to multiple places off the back of one email. I played with it some months ago, and walked away – then in a fit of laziness started using it again late last year. [...]
I've done it again, haven't I…
My blog is back at Wordpress – hosted by their good selves rather than me. I haven’t so much gone “full circle”, as started another lap. Hopefully this will be the last.
After thinking about it all afternoon, and much of the evening, a few things occurred to me;
Why am I paying for blog posting ?
Why [...]
A social networking sh*t storm of my own making
When you’re busy fiddling with something interesting, it’s easy to become so engrossed in “the next thing” that you forget all about the trail of things you have been fiddling with previously – that invariably stretch out like a trail of destruction behind you.
We witness it all the time with our children; they are completely [...]
Lunchtime Redesign
I got a virtual machete out this lunchtime, and set about hacking lumps from my personal blog. I have been looking a the “Thesis” default template recently, and liking certain aspects of it, so have unashamedly aped elements of it’s design. The main idea is to have more white space, and rely on typography a little more. [...]
Aaarrrggghhhh
Livejournal? Tumblr? Wordpress? Facebook? MySpace? Twitter?
Which one should I use? All of them? None of them?
I don’t know anything any more. It’s all too much.
End of rant.
Threaded Comments Ahoy
I took a few minutes out this lunchtime to implement threaded comments on this blog. Wordpress has been able to do it for ages (since version 2.7) – I just couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of doing it.
It basically means comments can be made on comments – so a conversation can happen… not that [...]
A New Wordpress Theme…
It’s not actually a “theme” as such yet – just an HTML and CSS file sat on my hard drive that I came up with over lunch. You can click on the image to see the full size one in Flickr…
I will neither confirm or deny that this will take over from my personal blog [...]
New Theme, and New Wordpress Goodness
When I moved my personal blog back to a hosted solution at wordpress.com it was for entirely fiscal reasons – we’re busy cutting back on unwarranted expenditure at home, and web hosting accounts – although inexpensive – are a total luxury. Knowing that Wordpress will host your blog for nothing made it a no-brainer.
The only [...]
Change is good right?
I know, I know… I changed the look of this blog again (if you’re reading this through an RSS reader, you’ll need to click on the title to see the wonderous boringness of the Wordpress stock theme I have chosen).
I got bored. I was going to wait until Wordpress released some more free themes, and [...]
