WordPress Custom Fields Contest

January 31, 2007

Update: This contest has been extended to March 30, 2007.
There is an often-overlooked aspect of WordPress that adds functionality that is more geared to a Content Management System than a blogging platform. And that’s why, perhaps, the world’s #1 blogging software finds that many users don’t really use Custom Fields.
I think that’s a travesty.

WordPress Trunk

January 31, 2007

It probably interests no one but me, but I’m becoming more of an SVN ninja. It took me days to figure out how to setup a web accessible SVN server with appropriate web, svn and filesystem permissions (i.e. this repository is world readable, but can only be written to by me). I’ve been using SVN [...]

Timecapsule Plugin 1.0.3

January 30, 2007

A few of you have been asking me about when Timecapsule (initially released on Problogger) would be WordPress 2.1 compliant. The time is now and not yet.
For those who wish to download and test (please do!), you can do so via SVN:
svn co http://svn.b5media.com/svn/timecapsule/trunk
Or download the nightly.
I am looking to take this plugin to [...]

Startup Truths: There is no Time or Money

January 26, 2007

I was reading Matt Mullenweg’s post about an interview that Robert Scoble recently had with Jonathon Schwarz of Sun in which it seemed Sun continued to be disconnected with reality. With respect, Schwarz responded and apologized for the perception that Sun presented. (As a sidenote, the comments on Schwarz’ entry are quite good).
Matt makes a [...]

WordPress 2.1 Gotchas

January 25, 2007

I figured I’d follow up my 10 Things You Should Know About WordPress 2.1 with another useful post. The reality is that there were bound to be discoveries by the masses after the launch and over the past few days, this assumption has been borne out. The really tech savvy among us and those who [...]

10 Things You Should Know About WordPress 2.1

January 21, 2007

Back in December of 2005, I was filling in for Darren Rowse at ProBlogger and I wrote an entry that was very highly read and commented on. The topic was 10 Things You Should Know About WordPress 2.0. The occasion was the release of the much-waited for release of the current major release of WordPress [...]

I Love the Bay Area

January 19, 2007

It may not come as a whole heap of a surprise but I love California. I’ve never been to Southern Cal but it strikes me as a little too non-fun for me. It’s full of upper crust people that are so full of themselves that anything less than People Magazine simply won’t do it.
I like [...]

The Technology Cold War is OVER – Apple and Microsoft are truly competing again…FINALLY!!

January 17, 2007

The nucleus of this article came from the recent Macworld theme “The First 30 Years where just the Beginning”.
It got me thinking how the next 30 years will be after looking the last 30 years roller coaster ride.
After decompressing from all the CES and Macworld activity, two very basic things occurred to me:
1.) The “War [...]
