Wordpress - Another un-eventful upgrade

Posted by Administrator on Jan 20, 2008

It is again time to give the guys over at wordpress praise. I just did the upgrade from 2.3.1 to 2.3.2 and as usual, it went off without a hitch. I love how both the little upgrades and the major upgrades are always easy, stable and reliable.


Anyone else having problems with the new Gmail?

Posted by Administrator on Nov 16, 2007

Well, ever since I have been using the “newer Gmail” I am greeted by this screen:

Gmail Screenshot

Though it is not that big of a deal and I am always able to get into the site immediately after refreshing, it sure is annoying.


Gmail new version

Posted by Administrator on Nov 6, 2007

Well, I guess I am on the new version of gmail. Is this another beta? The previous version wasn’t ever out of beta.

Overall most things look the same. There seem to be a couple new options when a message is selected. You can now filter for messages like the one you are viewing / have selected. You can also mute a conversation. It is not all that clear how to un-mute a conversation. That can be done by moving the message back to the inbox after finding it in all mail.

To be honest, I have not found all that much in the “newer version” that is all that different or impressive. I was expecting a new skin with more ajax like functionality and it just doesn’t seem to be there.

Oh well, I still like my gmail.

Wordpress Upgrade

Posted by Administrator on Nov 4, 2007

Well, I finally got around to upgrading. Now running version 2.3.1

I am always amazed how easy WordPress upgrades are. I do not wish to jinq it, but I have never had one go bad.

Go work WordPress team!


Time for a new theme

Posted by Administrator on Nov 3, 2007

Well, it has been a long time since the look has changed. The new theme, Blog Pixel Blue Edition 1.0 by Muhamad Fuad

The previous theme, equiX is a theme made for WordPress 1.5+ dsgn by m^r(oS. served me well and I liked it very much. Just a tip of caution. The theme did require lots of minor modification to make it work well across browsers.

The new them worked very well on load. It required a couple minor tweaks, one for the title when on the main page and another for titles on all other pages. There is still a minor bug in the search box, but I will have to take a look at that one a little later.
