Upgrade to wordpress 2.7 - finally…

There am I again. First term is over, 4 weeks of holidays (and probably most of it excessive learning) lay before me and in midst of it there’s Christmas and New Year’s Eve. So I’ve decided to do this blog some good and write a view posts.

I’ve finally fount the time and notion to upgrade to wordpress 2.7, which was refreshingly uneventful and quick. I was awaiteb by a beautiful (hopefully usable) new admin interface, which will require some getting used to but I’m completely confident this will happen rather quickly.

It remains to say: Well done developers for the (once again) best wordpress ever.

Back from the dead (or similar)

Well, I’m going to start writing again…

exams08

Sorry for this very unfortunate hiatus which definitely lasted too long. Due to my exams (The picture above is my exam schedule on my whiteboard) the last 3 weeks (and the focused learning and preparing before that) I neither had the time nor leisure to write here, so sorry for that (again). But that’s over now so you (dear reader) can expect some more (hopefully enjoyable) reviews. I’m planning on reviewing some of the live bootlegs that are out there from Jason Mraz’s and John Mayer’s shows and I’m also planning on writing about some Mangas.

So stay tuned…

Upgrade to Wordpress 2.6

Very nice.

The update went as smoothly as can be expected and I very much like the new features.

Here the full list from wordpress.org:

  • Version/revision saves a copy of a post every time you edit it, allows you to view (not edit) each of those copies (revisions), Shows forward (in time) diffs between any two revisions.
  • Display captions of images alongside them in posts and pages.
  • Add paging of Themes in Design panel
  • Word Count displayed when writing and editing posts and pages
  • Press This bookmarklet
  • Add sorting to gallery
  • Export/import post excerpts
  • Theme Previewer
  • Check (assigned) Categories at top Category box in Write/Manage Post
  • Show when a term is both a tag and a category
  • Wider Profile fields
  • TinyMCE 3.1
  • Two categories can have sub-categories with the same name

I also saw a slight change on the plugin page, which is now better organized and you can decide what will be displayed as default avatar, when a user has none. But I however did not find the word count for posts, yet.

Redesign complete - Hooray!

Welcome, dear readers.

Although you might no be that numerous (yet), I’m still going to write something.

Firstly: What will this blog be about?

It will be about Technology & Stuff (and this also will be the two (only) categories (apart from the blog category, which will contain all posts related to this blog) here).

Technology: I am a very convinced open source and linux (ubuntu is by far my favorite flavor) user, I like to write code (sometimes), love to design (when there is time and I have a decent idea (which is not that often) ) and I am currently studying Electrical Engineering in Switzerland.

Stuff: Well, all said, ain’t it? Music, books, movie, tv-shows, stuff ,…

Secondly: Why redesign, there’s nothing there so far?

Well, congrats on your excellent perception. This blog was in German, but some days ago I decided to make a little redesign and restart. This time in English, for two reasons: Bigger audience (obviously) and I just like to write in English. So here we are.

Finally: I would love to recieve as much comments as you can muster (not to test whether the comments work - I’ve already done that) but I would really like to know, how you found here, and how you like the design so far, and wether (alright,  how ;)) it can be improved.
