Trends and Lemmings

My last three posts are all accidentally connected. First the iPhone post, then I talk about cell phone coverage (bar strength), then I talk about bar codes! Must…break…streak….
Oh here’s something unrelated! Someone went and re-created that classic and addicting game Lemmings… all in DHTML! It runs pretty well too. Go play!
Retired T-shirts?

Once more I’m going to try to trumpet change re: my blog. This time in a somewhat off-the-shelf theme. Sure I couldn’t leave it completely alone and it’s been tweaked some, but for the most part it’s “out of the box.” Does this spell the end of the T-shirts? Only time will tell. As for the new choice, I’ve purposefully made an effort to go with a darker theme to do my part to save the world. Expect more tweaks to come in the near future. Let me know what you think.
Happy New ‘Press!

Yeah, it’s 2006 and all that, but on Dec 26th, Wordpress 2.0 came out, and it’s pretty snazzy. I have built what seems like a half-dozen new sites in the past few months (did I mention judyludy.com went live?) and for the last few I was able to create them with this new version of Wordpress. For all the grimy details, check out this article. There’s a whole slew of new stuff included in the new version. Dare I say something for everyone? I would have liked to seen a better thumbnailer/photo posting mechanism build into the new WYSIWYG editor, but it’s got the beginnings of what I’m after for some of the HTML-challenged people that I create sites for. Maybe a plug-in will get it the rest of the way.
My own experience was that you really need to back everything up before you do anything if you have any data in your site that you’d like to ever see again. Upgrading this site was the hardest, as it has the most data, the most modifications to the wordpress code, and the most plug-in dependency (still don’t have the theme-switcher working again yet). I actually upgraded two blogs, everything went swimmingly so I figured I’d try mine. …not so swimmingly. But things are back up now and ready for a whole new year of bloggin’ action!
