Upgraded to WordPress 2.8!

cfgt — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 17:48:10 +0000

I've decided to take a chance and upgrade to WordPress 2.8. As with just about every other time I've done it, please tell me if you find any bugs and problems.

Getting Things Done

On any project, you always have to make a fatal decision – you have to choose two out of the following: fast, cheap and good.

It's a fun thing to realise – fast and cheap makes the finished project inferior, fast and good makes the project expensive, cheap and good makes the project slow.

Writer’s Block Redux

As usual, no inspiration for what to talk about, things to talk about. Oh well.

Working on Drag and Drop over the Network

I'm thinking about how to implement drag and drop over a TCP connection. Anyone has any ideas?

A Little Preview

I've been studying mostly, but to relax I've been developing a library for graphics manipulation – to produce something like below in a .NET 3.5 environment.

And yes, that is from a screenshot.

Seemingly Unending Hiatus

I've been studying and thinking about a lot of other things – and those tend to lead to writer's block. I've been thinking about filling in with 4koma (like I did for a while), photography (which I also did for a while), writing a story (which I did a long while back). And then I suddenly thought about making a viable version of an application for table top card games. I thought, why not make a table top card game version with fully scriptable cards? Of course, if I did make one, the first target would be Magic, and Wizards would probably come after me – but hey, unlike the makers of Magic Workstation, I have no intention of selling it.

Scheduling Problem

Apparently, my site had a problem with whatever new scheduling implementation is in WordPress 2.7. I didn't notice until today when I realised the post I wrote for 2 days ago didn't show up. Grrrr…

Studying and Interviews are Taxing Time

cfgt — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:20:35 +0000

Updating the blog is becoming an uphill battle, with studying and going to job interviews consuming a lot of my time. Hopefully – this will lead my life somewhere interesting. In case you're wondering, I'm still working on getting out that D90 article. I intend to eventually write a review – even though I know

Short Announcement About Posting Regularity

cfgt — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 09:18:49 +0000

There's a good chance of me not posting anything (not even photos or short rants) the last two weeks of November since I have exams (which I really need to do well in this time) and I have to move out as well. I already have the whole of next week planned out – and I intend to end with a nice long post – which will be about something random – so prepare to be partially surprised.

UPDATE: That long post? Cancelled due to studying for exam.

Blog Upgrade!

cfgt — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:09:00 +0000

I've done some shuffling here and there to the category hierarchy, updated to WordPress 2.6.3 – and most importantly: NEW THEME! Do report any bugs you find.

Update: Modified new theme to remove tag related material – I intend to use tags eventually, just not yet.
