For quite some time now, my byline on twitter has outed me as a Movable Type enthusiast, and quite frankly, I would still call myself that. It's a great, solid platform and I've used it happily since I first hosted my own blog back in 2005. So it may be surprising to some that when the time came to consolidate that self hosted blog with the original hosted blog and update my theme that I made a decision to make the switch to WordPress.The decision to change wasn't an easy one but … [Read more...]
Fanboy (ok, girl), Moi?
I came across this article via Coudal Partners' Fresh Signals feed (what are you waiting for SUBSCRIBE!) and took some time to think about where I stand on the whole fanboy thing. I like to think I'm moderate... here are some thoughts - I'd be really interested to know where you stand on the issue.I rock a Macbook and an iPhone, I have a Magic Mouse and 2 Mac keyboards (wired and wireless). I should then squarely put myself in the Apple camp. Also, all my software bar one … [Read more...]
Flash Banners.
I've been getting some work lately from designers who are wholly familiar with the world of print design but who, being less familiar with the constraints of web designing and development are leaping into the web pool with mixed results. It seemed as though it might be useful to outline a couple of the differences and thereby helping me, and them, get better results from the money they're spending getting a developer involved in making their designs work online. There are a bunch of … [Read more...]
Apple an Me – Round Two
I know, I know, I'm really hard on my stuff, I spend money on things like iPods, MacBooks and iPhones (yes, I'm a sucker, I believe that's on record already) and then I treat them like shit. *hangs head in shame* However, in this round of the Dee v Apple face off it was the cat who caused all the damage. Sigh. She too is hard on my stuff. In any case she knocked the MacBook from the microwave (yes, I was using it as a recipe book) on to the floor and in doing so destroyed the screen. … [Read more...]
Me & Apple it’s a Love/Hate Thing.
It is no secret that I love my Mac. It looks good, it works good and it feels good to use. It's not new, it isn't particularly fast, and when I'm making real money sometime I'll upgrade it; but the truth is, I'm now sold out to the product. It's good. Really good. Even though it costs the earth.I also have an iPod Mini, I used to call it 'My Precious' though some other precious things have supplanted that love but by and large, I still love my Mini. It holds all the files I … [Read more...]
Troubleshooting MT-Static on an Install
So, it's late in the evening and I get it into my thick head that I need to get on with that project that's been banging around in my head for a while... installing MT 4.24 on my business server. I've been messing around with it personally for a while... but now that I need to support myself through university I need to lift my game. I wasn't nervous, I've installed Movable Type (hereinafter refererred to as MT) a bunch of times and had no problems. It's as easy as A) set up your MYSQL … [Read more...]
The Web Princess
I am an inveterate fiddler, interested in not only having my web site do the things I want, but having it look the way I want and also understanding how it works and how to make it do more! I started out on a hosted blog, a brilliant introduction to the world of blogging and the first foray into internet community... the site's still there I used to duplicate the posts there with the ones on my usual blog because the community that's built up around the wibsite have all become my … [Read more...]
