A few days early but I have decided to reboot! Pain, sweat and tears but finally I am happy enough to go live with this theme for Wordpress. Welcome to ‘Satin’.
I have finally upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.2 from 1.5 which was painless and I am making use of some quality plugins available such as Brians Latest Comments, FlickrRSS and The Feature. Credit to the authors and a thank you for the hard work that went into making those available.
Please be patient if things randomly don’t work for a while. Thanks.
30Boxes, the quality / free / ajax calendar, has added colour to tags allowing you to browse through your calendar at a glance and see what your up to. Simply click on ‘Find’, then the box next to the tag and select your colour from the palette.
I really like this calendar and it looks as though they are responding well to the recent calendar release from Google. Continually adding features and pushing the functionality, I hope 30Boxes will be around for a while yet.
Microsoft yesterday announced the official Beta 2 release of Internet Explorer 7. The previous release was billed as a preview and according to IEBlog they have fixes and changes have been made based on feedback from the previous releases (including CSS). It looks like another couple of releases to come including Beta 3 before the official release which is likely to coincide with the official launch of Vista to business around November.
Russell Beattie, the eminent mobile / tech blogger, has sadly hung up his blogging gloves over the weekend. Well informed and articulate, Russell has decided to call it a day and has written his last post on his notebook. He says he hasn’t necessarily gone for good and I certainly hope this to be the case.
Russell was probably the first blog that i started reading and for the last two years have enjoyed ‘hearing’ his thoughts and opinions on the cutting edge of mobile design, ui and technologies (and Yahoo!). While I am sad to see him go I really do want to say thanks for all the effort he put in making it among the first headlines I’d Rojo and even making it to my netvibes homepage (gasp!).
