All This Election Business

It’s just gone midnight on the fifth here, I know the timing on this post is out a little. Despite the fact that I have to get up for my bus in less than 6 hours, I’m still here. And tweeting. I must be nuts.
Right now, McCain is winning by 5 Electoral College (points?), 8 [...]

Playing With ExpressionEngine

I started playing with ExpressionEngine today, and I’m really impressed with it.  I love how it lets you be you, and assumes that you know exactly what you’re doing. It’s far more complicated than any CMS I’ve ever used before, and I like that.
I don’t think I like it enough to convert from Wordpress, I [...]

No More Asides

I’ve just taken asides out of my blog design totally. The idea behind that is to stop myself making crappy little posts so often, which lead me to be disappointed in my blog. Someone I knew felt the same as me, but he’s nuked his entire blog to start again. I’m not being that extreme, [...]

Wordpress 2.7 Interface

I love the way they are styling the new backend for Wordpress 2.7, found here, it’s a seriously cool make. I can’t wait until they implement it into the trunk :)

Why Microsoft and Intel Tried To Kill the XO Laptop

In January 2005, Nicholal Negroponte revealed a new project. A cheap ($100) laptop that could be distributed in it’s millions to the developing parts of the world, bringing them connectivity, freedom and information. It was designed to change the world.
The great, powerful and rich nodded in approval.
But then some of them decided it had to [...]

A Brand New Plugin

I’m in the process of finishing a new Wordpress plugin up for release, one that I did for a client and then decided to redo slightly differently for the general public.
It’s going to enable the injecting of ads into the middle of posts, but unlike others that have been released, you can input any code [...]
