WordPress 2.8-beta1-11402

jez — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:25:36 +0000

Quite frankly I should rather be sitting down and study for the upcoming exams, but since I have been toying with my website redesign since October 2008 (last year, yes…) and the dark-ish, artistic version does not really “fit” to spring/summer anymore I am working on a day/night time theme which basically shows the old, white site when the sun is up and the dark, night-ish site when the sun is down. I was thinking how to realize this: I could have gone for an easy PHP-switch checking the server-time and therebased-on use stylesheet A or B, but since the website’s audience is spread over the world I am now opting to use a jquery javascript client-side approach. So every user, regardless of timezone and location, will be served the appropriate version.

So I hardened my wordpress by means of playing around CentOS usergroups and permissions and I was able to get the upload and cache folder to work with quite restrictive permissions (755 as the worst). Hopefully this will take care of the past security issues…

Anyhow, using the “automatic upgrade” function within wordpress I stumbled upon the “highly praised” WordPress 2.8 version (2.8-beta1-11402) and frankly it is doing “shit at all” but not displaying “pages” anymore (posts are fine). I suspect it has to do with changes in the theme terminology, but then again, why is it working on “posts” all fine? I am reverting, or at least trying to revert. The last “major issue” I have had with WordPress was the switch from 2.6 to 2.7.4… my advise: keep your fingers off betas if you can. There are not, as the devs say, for public use in open, active, systems.

I have some themes lined up, alongside the changes I mentioned above, but still exams till 2^nd of June, 09. Gah…

Dear everyone,
sorry for the lack of updates and little activity. As you might have read I moved to London two weeks ago.
As I am working full-time now (not in design) I have had little opportunity to sort out the updated version of h4x3d.com and the new concept.
Be assured, I have things noted down and sketches are almost final, however I do not like to release “alpha” as you know from my themesy.
I am a Leo and think in black or white – either change at once or not at all.

To tease you, here an excerpt of the top left header of the new blog.

I have also had a logo made by a professional logo and brand developer (on basis of a four pages creative brief). You might wonder why I did not do it myself: time for once is a reason, but also it is just as a matter of fact that sometimes you are blind when it comes to your own “design”.

Looking forward to receiving your feedback – changed should be up and implemented within three weeks from now-on.

Firefox vs. Internet Explorer

jez — Tue, 31 Jul 2007 10:12:24 +0000

I prefer Firefox to the Internet Explorer for several reasons which I will not be listing here today.
This post is merely a quick information to all my visitors to compare what they are missing when not using Firefox.
I had to create a whole new template and stylesheets for my Internet Explorer audience, because the one working for Firefox was causing troubles -layout wise- for IE.

The main difference is actually merely the menu. On Firefox it renders on the top and looks cool, while Internet Explorer users will have it on the left hand-side. Still cool, but not as fancy and smooth (I find).

Click either the Firefox logo or the Internet Explorer logo to see a screenshot of the h4x3d.com mainsite in the browser.
Enjoy.

One cool thing, is that Linux browsers seem to like my layout. Nothing breaks so far. If you have trouble with the layout, please leave a comment.

Do you know Iceweasel?
It is a browser on Linux that kind of looks and works like Firefox.
I have checked my website with Iceweasel and it doesn’t look too bad, does it?
See the below Thumb and click it for a full-preview.
