Before today my Gmail at work was CRAP! Heck knows why. It was slow, unresponsive, struggling to log in, took for ever so send email, annoying and unusable. Until I upgraded to the new Firefox 3.5 today. Joy rains unon thee!
Gmail lives and it seems like there was an upgrade on the Google side of things, causing Gmail to actually become responsive and usable. I’m sending mail like there’s no tomorrow. Thanks Gmail Firefox!
Let’s hope it stays that way.
I’m glad to see that from all the Google Summer of Code applicants, WordPress got eight students to work alongside them on what it to be the next generation of WordPress improvements.
I’m most interested in the theme builders and advance media handeling. Will just have to wait and see till the features gets realeased. More on who and what here.
Lately I’ve been getting lots of twitter followers. I think it’s mostly because of my recent move to WooThemes and thus I’ve refrained from over posting to twitter. I really don’t want to seem like a loony toon who tells people what he had for breakfast, and only try sharing stuff that are genuinely cool and interesting. But that might be on the change (again), this is why.
I’ve recently run into some crippling Windows problems. And it was, worst of all, effecting my Internet access when I need it so desperately, like so many fellow South Africans. Moving to mac has crossed my mind, but I opted to go to a free place. A place where operations and function, roam freely. Linux.
I happy to announce that I’m officially a WooThemes Gold member ;). They have gracefully accepted me in on what I call a-heck-of-a-nice project. It’s part of living the dream. Working with an on-line success story, being in on the action every step of the way.
What I have now works for me here on Foxinni.com. But it has to evolve into what I have become over the past two years. Now that I have the skills to do what I want… I’m intending on doing exactly that.
No more over zealous blogging causing a once a zillion years blog post, no more boring profile, no more third party services running the show… no more “Uh, I wanted to share but it’s over there and not here” and no more life streaming.
My blogging (or sharing) has gone third party, traction is withering and reactions are limited. This has caused me to basically stop using my site. Resulting in tears in eyes. But there is so much I have to share…
My weekly activities typically consist of:
I detest that I’ve become part of the norm that has blindly stayed un-evolved on the Internet. Sure Facebook is useful, but other that a complete wash of time and creating content for someone I’ve never met’s website… (same goes for Twitter btw), I’ve complete neglected my central hub, that which sets me apart. I want the conversation to be created on my terms, on my domain and then have feedback generated in concise and practical manners.
Blogging faster, sharing thoughts quicker, not holding back, generating traffic, creating presence, building a personal hub before all others & having something of value… without it NOT being yours.
I’ve never been an impulsive person. But that will have to change. Moving slowly on the web can be painful. Expect massive mushup focusing on my own domain & with what is closest to me personally and professionally. A quicker turnover with smaller blogs, aggregation of portfolio of high caliber. The design is in the working along with some big news.
Before this post gets to long winded… i’ll end it. Any thoughts?

Official notes on the WordPress 2.7 Dashboard
It’s been about a month since I’ve joined Adii (http://adii.co.za) at his new design firm {radiiate} (http://radiiate.com) and I have been stuck in with plenty of WordPress work.

They team have been busy and i think we’ll be able to start using that sparkling and intuitive in backed in no time. Just to prove my point I’ve added some images for you to have a sneak peak at the yet to be finished designs. Well done guys.
