pushing the sky

Bit of administrivia – I’ve installed the WPtouch plugin here, which ensures the site looks fancy and iPhone-app like on your “iPhone, iPod touch, Android, Opera Mini mobile, Palm Pre [or] BlackBerry Storm” device – now while I suspect it’ll be a while before I have any significant audience on that, it certainly does tidy [...]

I remember once upon a time I’d discover a new blog and spend hours going backwards through time to try to reach the first post. It felt practically necessary – the only way context could be sufficiently established, that you could follow along with new developments. In the days before RSS – that is, only [...]

Updated to WordPress 2.5; lemme know if you spot any issues.

On break, this week is all kinda nuts at work; next week probably will be too. In the mean time… keep a watch on del.icio.us, maybe.

When did this place become a ‘blog’ instead of a ‘homepage’? Or was it ever a ‘homepage’? I remember back in the day (10 whole years ago!), people didn’t have ‘blogs’, they had ‘home pages’. It was different for one reason: a blog you’re expected to update, and is supposed to be for people to [...]

Pushing the sky has had its stay of execution, and for now lives on for at least another year. Now, for me to actually go do something with it. What say you to the prospect of a forum again? (Yes yes, I know, but I’m partial to forums okay?)

Updated to WordPress 2.3 without too much difficulty; seems like things are running pretty cruisy around here, without too many headline changes beyond the tags. I’ve always been a little skeptical of tags, as it seems a little bit of categorical overkill, so for the moment I’m holding back, tagging posts but not showing the [...]

Going on the point I made just before, I went back and looked at what I had written oh so long ago, back when this used to be the dke project, all the way back on friendlygrocer :) The first thing I picked up on was that my designs overall have probably been slipping :) [...]

Just thought I’d show three of the designs that (nearly) made it. This first one went through three revisions itself – pushing the sky on the left? horizontal? on the right? – before I found the genius idea of putting it between the content and the sidebar. And then I looked at it and thought, [...]

It’s rough around the edges, and it’s nothing fancy, but dammit, it’s mine. I’ve learnt WordPress during the building of this theme, and that should make me proud. (except for the part where it doesn’t matter that much in the long run) I’ve still yet to figure out where to put the sidebar stuff, or [...]
