In this past week I’ve been doing allot of development in WordPress and through a very round about way discovered this Dreamweaver Extension for WordPress Development. This tool, called TAGStention is nothing short of great. Wished I had it found it earlier, for it would have saved me a lot of time. Head on over to solutoire.com/tagstention for the download.

So what does it do? It’s basically a menu that inserts built in WordPress functions. Ones that we sometimes forgets even exist. Here are some of the features:

  • Wizards for tags with parameters
  • Support for 90% of the tags
  • Insert basic loops (wizard)
  • Insert headers (wizard)
  • Help button redirects to codex

This past December is was fortunate enough to do some traveling in Ireland. Upon visiting Belfast and Dublin, I took some pictures (actually my girlfriend did) of the native graffiti artwork. There were some really interesting and funky pieces. Take a look and click on the pictures for a bigger view.

Breaking a sweat over 2.5

I’m a firm believer that upgrading is for the better. And will blindly jump where WordPress wants me too. I’m sure many individuals has taken the leap and upgraded to WordPress 2.5.

I did and i could not be happier that i did. But in the same breath I’d just like to talk about the issues I had. Upgrading to WordPress 2.3.3 was fairly easy… same version so no surprise. But with WordPress 2.5 there was a snag or two.

WordPress 2.5 Image Uploading Solution

It seems like there is a bit of a hole in WordPress 2.5, and a big one if you consider uploading images important. If you want the quick solution just skip till you hit the list.

So why would they change it? The new unloader boast with a uploader progress bar, more image resizing settings, multiple file upload (!) and it all comes together and forms a Gallery feature. I have not explored it in depth but it should be pretty cool if you have a need for it. It also supports audio and video. Now that a whole lot of eggs in one basket!

Unfortunately due to the early release of WordPress 2.5 there is major issues with the uploader. I personally got a error “An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later” and for friends it just plain did not want to work with the all fixes installed. Here is a quick “How to Fix my WordPress 2.5 Image uploader” list summerized.

A Wii little something for myself

I used to be a big PC gamer, but as games evolve and subsequently, computers get outdated, I completely fell out of the loop. In some ways I’m glad because the world seems to move to fast, and time is too little to be playing hours on something that might leave you disappointed in the end. In an effort not to sound like a hypocrite, I confess to doing exactly that for several years of my life.

Getting back to my point. Being a gamer and someone who likes playing games with friends, a console seemed like the perfect answer. The games does not out date the console and there are no “Technical Issue”, be it a  Xbox, PS2 or PS3. I decided to spend a little of my hard earned cash by getting myself a Wii.

Right off the bat I was happy with it. It has a killer interface. The controls are easy to use and the starter games are great. Perfect for entertaining yourself or a few of your mates. The Wii tends to be full body experience and gives you an experience no other console could.

Along with a fresh new user experience, the Wii comes with built in wireless. That means you can play against friends by taking your console online or just plain keeping it up to date with the software updates. I’m am still to explore this in depth.

I shudder to thing how gripping some games could be with one dancing around violently in your lounge trying to defeat your enemy. I can’t wait! I’m such a Nintendo boy now.

Facebook knows who I might know…

New Facebook FeaturesI rarely log into my Facebook account, merely because I find it to be huge black hole of information and over zealous features that sucks you in and leaves you an hour later with no sense of direction or what you were doing before you started.

So when I did log in I saw a nifty new facebook feature on the homepage. An box displaying people who you might know on in the sidebar of the Facebook Layout. This feature, is an algorithm that no doubt easily determines who are friends with lots of your friends and/or come from the same hometown.

Not a bad feature but, never the less it brings up those people you’ve been trying to ignore or people you rejected ages ago. Haha.

Virgle, gDay, April fool, Google and the Rickroll

What happened this year with Google and April fools day 2008? Check out what they are right here in this post called “Virgle, April fool, Google and the Rickroll“….

An invitation.

Earth has issues, and it’s time humanity got started on a Plan B. So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading hundreds of users on one of the grandest adventures in human history: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.”

Another classic catch was gDay MATE. A service that could get search results one day in advance. Fooling you with fake testimonials and mock screen shots.

“Google Australia has introduced a new feature, enabling you to search content on the internet before it is created”

and… this Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give your up. This video was on 400,000 views, 12 h ago, now going on 4 mil. Why? Because Google redirected their Featured videos (on the home page) to this video. Why? why? The Rickroll? (It’s a cult thing)
