pretending to be a virtual-prawn on the cyberspace-oceanfloor
And we’re almost off. Once again Australia won the toss and will bat first. I’ve moved my computer into the dinning room and can see the TV over the top of my monitor. I really need to get a laptop. Coffee is brewing. Weather is coolish and the fires seem to be under control.
Wrapping up a few projects and will also start looking at Robert Hobbs’s site. I always seem to be more productive when there is cricket on. When did I become this sports guy?
A friend of mine has just re-launched his personal blog after converting from a bespoke system to WordPress. He has created one of the most amazing designs I’ve seen in a very long time. It’s well worth checking it out if you’re into web design and WordPress customising. Have a look at coda.coza
It’s been a while since my last post, I got busy and the issues most on my mind are not the things that I want to use this space for. What happened in Kenya (seems to be resolving itself) and what is currently going on in Zimbabwe sickened and saddened me. But this is not what this is about.
WordPress released version 2.5 about two weeks ago, but I’ve been running RC1 for about a month. I upgraded to 2.5 final release about a week ago to test and gauge if it’s worth the effort. The admin interface requires some adjustment but on the whole I’m enjoying what I see. I now need to ensure that all the blogs which I administer will run on 2.5. I need to check templates and modules used. I’m looking into setting up a internal Subversion server to automat this process as much as possible. I currently administer Megan’s Head, Asendle Trust and ToingToing! and am in the process of finalising Rescue Pets and Hearts and Eyes Theatre Collective. The last two are still very much in production, but I’m going to use this as an opportunity to develop custom templates for all the blogs, till now I’ve pretty much just downloaded free templates and hacked them.
