I wish I wasn’t so crap at CSS so I could spiffy up scrambledminds. I wish I wasn’t so lazy as to not learn.

Monday, March 31st, 2008Wordpress 2.5 and Flickr galleries
Monday, March 31st, 2008So Wordpress 2.5 has been released. It seems pretty slick and the new management interface is much nicer and more functional before. Check out the details here.
I’ve also managed to start putting my photos over on Flickr. It’s all going well and I’m getting them on scrambledminds.com by using the Slickr Gallery and Shutter Reloaded (a Lightbox variant) plugins. Quite a few people think that Slickr/lightbox is slow but I think it’s worth it for single or small sets of photos. For larger sets I just hard link to the slideshow url on Flickr.
An apple a day…
Sunday, August 19th, 2007So I’ve taken the plunge after a number of years contemplating it… I’ve bought a Mac. I thought that I’d bite the bullet and get into some computer technology where I can generate content rather than piss-fart around tring to get software or hardware working. Well, that’s the desire anyway. I ended up getting one of the new iMacs and it’s a treat so far. I’ve had a few little hiccups in just attempting something while being classically conditioned for the Microsoft Windows world but it’s actually fading pretty quickly. Anyway, these are pretty (quite) pretty machines.
Flock - the social web browser
Sunday, August 19th, 2007I’ve heard a bit about Flock. I beleive it’s based on Firefox but is full of stuff to make help you get content published to various web forums such as blogs, photo journals (e.g. flickr) and bookmarking sites (e.g. del.icio.us). So far it’s good (I’m writing this in Flock). Check it out: Flock - the social web browser
word.
So… what’s with facebook? Why do we need more social networking on the Internet when most of us suck at it in real life? Why has it become the latest fad? I thought it was around for quite some time and now I’m fielding facebook requests (which my AV for some reason labels as spam 
) on a daily basis and I’m pimping out my profile. What good will come of this I wonder?… All I can say is that MySpace is so 15 minutes ago.
