Quick update

9 June, 2009 – 7:38 pm

FUD – source: ckelty at flickr First a declaration… I am employed by Automattic but these are my personal opinions and not a statement on behalf of Automattic. More relevantly I am a contributor to WordPress but this is by no means a statement on behalf of that community. Now, to the point… I’ve been [...]

Managing multiple /etc/hosts files in Mac OS X

13 May, 2009 – 4:44 pm

A while ago I wrote up a method for switching between /etc/hosts files. That post is pretty popular and clearly been useful to a few people. Since then I’ve actually extended this method into a tool that can manage multiple /etc/hosts files. Using this new method you can have a folder that you can add [...]

The Foot Mouth Inn

21 April, 2009 – 2:49 pm

Here’s one straight from the arse-hat department. Seems there is a bit of a fluff going on over in New Zealand. So the hotel owner is being a jerk, a jerk acting within his rights, but clearly some people think it’s time for some righteous indignation and political populism. I’ve never heard of Labour MP [...]

Table based layout… “it just works”

19 March, 2009 – 8:56 am

For any web developers out there who long for the good old days of table-based layout stuffed full of transparent GIF spacers – here’s a reality check from an old website I wrote back in my ASP* days… From the same site code I’m also finding the following gems: MMMMMMacromedia inline JavaScript – onMouseOut=”MM_swapImgRestore();MM_displayStatusMsg(”);return document.MM_returnValue” [...]

Powelling around with terrorists

21 October, 2008 – 9:55 am

Colin Powell has provided the most succinct commentary of the election so far. Putting aside the fact that he has endorsed Barrack Obama, which is neither here nor there in my mind, he makes some very pertinent points about the Republican campaign so far. I’m specifically interested in his opinion of the disconnect between John [...]

WordCamp Presentations

17 August, 2008 – 10:20 am

I’ve just finished my hastily re-factored presentation for WordCamp San Francisco and I promised a few people afterwards that I would make it available online in some form. The presentation was titled “Hassle-free upgrades for WordPress”. I kind of shoe-horned in a large chunk of my presentation from WordCamp UK on Upgrading WordPress using Subversion [...]
