WordPress 2.7 looks freaking sweet!

20081017

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. And it’s been lovely. I have great fun using the platform full time and am really starting to get to know the ins and outs of the lion that wades beneath the surface.

This renewed energy for WordPress has only been strengthened by the announcement of the great looking WordPress version 2.7. 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.

I’ve been using the new version since I read this post, and I’m loving it on several instances. I’m not sure if I’m the only one, but I seem to get an error saying “Missed Schedule” for posts that I’ve scheduled for the future. Anyone else?

Version 4

An emotional moment comes as I finally polish up this LONG overdue theme for my site. Many things can attribute to this theme taking well over 6 month to complete. Among those are the love/hate relationship I have with design, the lack of focus and the need to get everything perfect. My site is not perfect. [...] read more

District 9 out of 9

This past week I went to go see District 9 again. The make of any good movie is one that you can watch twice in quick succession only to appreciate it even more. The subtle South African flavor coupled with a unique story, told in an uncanny documentary style fashion made for an enjoyable second [...] read more

Firefox 3.5 fixed my Gmail!

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.

WordPress setting sail…

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 [...] read more

Qwitter, it hurts…

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 [...] read more

Ubuntu for the very 1st time

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. read more

Unmoderated…

I currently have 110 unmoderated comments. Yes, I have a filter enabled and yes, I might have a few spam comments. Majority comes from my themes I realeased. They, luckely, will all be moving to ThemeSmith. More streamlining to do on my behalf. I apologize if you we’re caught up in that. read more

Turning inwards and creating wealth

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! No more over zealous blogging causing a once a zillion years blog post, [...] read more
