wasted about an hour of travel this day when i forgot something and i was already in cubao. and what was it? someone else’s citibank timesheet.
oh… anyone heard of lightpress? never knew about it til i saw a blogtool benchmark. hope it lands on wordpress.
Testing the File Upload feature. Here’s Textpattern RC3 currently at revision 176 containing the file upload feat. Zip file only.
I’ll be uploading Kitchie Naday (Michael V) singing her own version of “Wag na Wag” later.
i fixed something at dnuevo.net (which i had to hack actually for the mean time) and upgraded to a nightly of wp only to notice that the version jumped to 1.5. on the dev blog was a funny entry detailing the reason.
If you have your own theory then ping this entry. The funniest ping gets a free copy of WordPress 1.2005 XP edition.
har har. even my beloved txp has some nice news. jan 10 for the version 1. at last… we can now play with a theme engine!
Once 1.0 ships in January, I’m going to be bringing some of you formally on with commit privileges to the repository, opening up special contributing-developer-only branches for some rather clever features, and publishing a definitive roadmap.
2005: the year of the text!
well since almost all concerned with their sites have already mentioning over and over how they love web standards and accessibility and why theres a need for it, i’ve devoted a little section on it, at the bottom of my menu.
these are already met:
and i’m really pleased. of course it’s still not perfect. i must admit WAI compliance is the most ridiculously stringent of all and it’s overkill for a simple blog. i’ll never reach AAA, at least i’m sure. :)
has just been released. Khaled says this Nebula Flavoured Manji Version 1.0 :) is a preview release only.
i was allowed to beta-test Root and Khaled’s Manji, formerly named Chameleon, a theme project for wordpress worked for 2 months.
the default install of the beta gave me this:

my first impression? definitely, one of the slickest templates i’ve ever seen. as i like my designs as nice and simple as i can take them, manji is godsend. everything was coded with proper semantics in mind, something anyone can expect from the creators. (as of now though, Root has alraedy disappeared online, i do he’s still fine) i’ll be configuring the style thoroughly once the final version comes out sometime this week. it shall be at the frontpage of my domain.

my first skin. finally, just took me all night! :) started from scratch. comments please because i’d really appreciate them! only problems now are with the image drop shadows. i’ll fix them later.
still valid xhtml 1.0 transitional.
i also still have to style the menus. that’ll mark 1.1.
checking a site i took online almost a year ago and which about only a few months later i stopped doing anything at all, i found out that my former host, worst there is, has upgraded it to a gig of space.
so much for a head start. there is just no way i’m reviving it.
the template issue on wordpress is more than life and death.
1. Wordpress would use ‘elements of’ Kubrick of Michael in 1.3 .
2. Matt tells of flaws in Gemini.
3. Root is infuriated. Asks of the flaws.
4. Root gets no answer. Continues to support WP. Attacks Kubrick on the obvious flaws which haunts users.
5. Michael gets angry. Attacks Root’s work.
6. We get the likes of Israel vs Palestine:
Root has just released Odyssey Alpha 1.
Odyssey is the Alpha of the first integrated template and theme pack which is compatible with the new theme manager in WordPress 1.3. It contains three templates – Gemini, Fujiyama and Maximus, their default styles and as an example only one CSS style.

keeps me getting excited day by day.
just tried out what i was saying before. downloaded the 9-22 build of wordpress which as of now is the most recent and immediately installed it. got a package of kubrick too which utilized the way themes are handled in wordpress (it has a new tab called Presentation). uploaded it at wp-content/themes and activated kubrick with a click. i do hope that the planned incorporation of kubrick will be like that.
after the drama that i missed in the wordpress community forums over the well hyped kubrick, it seems that a new one’s about to start again. Honestly, i never thought that a really nice community could turn out this ugly. There are already who have jumped ship, (oh…) even notable ones like css guru Literary Moose.
what do i care anyway? i loved wordpress for a while but now i just like the fact that i’m with textpattern (for some reason). now it seems that wordpress will be more appealling to just anyone. i tried kubrick for my textpattern installation and it was nice… but i’m still up on my own long due style. and yep, Dean’s still preparing a theme engine for textpattern, so all my efforts would have to be postponed too till it comes.
edit: and i just found out that the newest build of wordpress 1.3alpha can activate kubrick with a click.
Welcome to WordPress. This is the first post.
i like it already;
though it’ll take time before i can completely skin this site.
I’m moving!
To GeekLog. I wish I had the money to buy EE though; Blogger and MT imo is just too overused. I’m not that satisfied too with e107.
When things that are touted easy seems so much harder… and in complement, those harder seems easier, where does the problem lie?
I failed moving(porting?) my already existing MT and PHP-nuke installations on my newly installed IIS. Well its not that I really haven’t done this in the past but I just felt that there shouldn’t be really any reason for the move when I ran into a first set of errors. After the errors… that was it!
What’s IIS5.1 compared to Apache 2 anyway? :)
BTW, I think I like the new GUI made by EMS that I recently installed. If it’s better than phpmyadmin, I still have to find out.
