First Day of School (0)

Posted September 3, 2008

The first day of school was really long and boring. Most of my teachers are cool, but a few of them are not as cool. I know two or three of my classes are going to be really awesome (C++, World History), but a few others are going to suck really really badly (Bio class, for sure). I got three homework assignments on the first day (that’s just too much work!). Tomorrow will hopefully be much better. I guess we will find out. In 9 hours.

Still not getting any tags interface in 2.7-hemorrhage. I can post from the Press This, though (which has tags). (0)
I went ahead and programmed some CSS and added gravatar support to the comments section here. If you don't have a gravatar setup, then it will display an Identicon. (0)

New WordPress Interface (again) (0)

Posted August 26, 2008

Looks like WordPress is going through yet another backend redesign (flickr photo of it). It is now in WordPress 2.7-hemorrhage and has a brand new vertical-style navigation pane, as well as its legendary gray top-bar. See this post and this post for other people’s opinions. It seems that a lot of the pages are getting a redesign too, a notable one would be the recognizing of Dashboard and writing widgets (finally!!!). You can view this post, which lists a bunch of 2.7 features. I am looking forward to 2.7, but as I said, I still cannot stand this.

I Absolutely Cannot Stand This (1)

I just uploaded the latest nightly build of WordPress for the first time in 3 days, and they have completely redone the admin backend–AGAIN. I mean seriously, it is pretty gross. It deffinitely needs some fine tuning. Not sure I will get used to the reorginization. There is now a “Content” “tab” (if you can call it that), as well as the “Templates” and “Utilities” sections. Everything is now on the left side with no more stff on the top. A non-functional search bar is up there too–search the backend or site? There is an Inbox tab that is also non-functional. It will be interesting to see what these will become. I won’t deviate back to WP 2.6, but I hope they either get rid of this or fix its quirks fast. Not sure if I can get used to it. Plus no more Ozh’s drop down menu.

I opened a new bank account today with my dad. I have a whole new level of responsibility (and a checkbook). (0)
Michael Phelps got his 8th gold medal a few minutes ago---he did a great job and I am sure the world hopes he will be back in four years for more. I guess he is rich now. Oh, and NBC knew it was coming---their DVD about Phelps was ready for sale in the first commercial break. Amazing. (0)

I have been watching the Olympics on and off since they started, as well as listening to the BBC updates on the news nearly every night. I think it is cool that records are continually being broken and that many countries are doing well. I am honestly not patriotic, but I guess it is kind of cool to know that some people from my country is doing well. (do we have an advantage because we are such a large country?) Read more »

WordPress 2.6.1 is out and fixes a bunch of errors with right-to-left within the admin panel, IIS errors, and a bunch of smaller bug fixes (including some with the Press This feature) that most people don't need to worry about. 2.7 is still chugging along. (0)
Still doing some testing on bbPress 1.0a1. It is working great and I really like it, except that Pretty Permalinks STILL don't work on my server. Sigh. Someday....hopefully. (0)
