WordPress Plugins

Monday, December 24th, 2007

Today I finished my “Tagline History” plugin and decided to put it up on the site to see if anyone else is interested in it. I have to say that for a first time user of WordPress it was very quick and easy to develop a plugin and I am really impressed with how well it has turned out. Depending on the outcome of this plugin I might have to start thinking about other features I can add.

Ultimately I think I want to incorporate some AJAX in there somewhere, everyone loves AJAX :).

Rain?

Friday, December 21st, 2007

You know, water falling in drops from vapor condensed in the atmosphere, it seems that many people in Melbourne have simply forgotten of its existence. I couldn’t help but smile when everyone got up to look out the window, as if the whole concept of rain was ridiculous. I have to admit it has been some time since we have seen rain in these amounts and for some reason the recent storm activity has been really relaxing, but I feel this is mostly because the rain was taking my attention away from stressful issues at work.

A Fresh Start

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

After a while I start to feel bad for my website as it sits idol with nothing more then a static HTML page to show for itself. I am sure that if it could communicate with me, it would express its disappointment with all the false hope and promises of a better existence. I have often fooled myself into thinking I was putting it to use, however in reality pages that are often hidden in sub directories and only a few people have ever seen is not really “use”.

Sure I have done some pretty cool things from time to time, even attempted to make a pong game using ajax, an ajax photo gallery, wedding information and I also had a blog, most of them now slowly gathering dust in an unknown sub directory or are soon to be outsourced like a government IT department.

So for this fresh start I have decided to move the blog the the numero uno spot, also known as “/” or root. This way when I do visit my website I will hopefully feel shamed into posting some irrelevant information about the goings on in my life, again I may just be luring my website into another of those false hopes, but only time will tell.
