WordPress plugins at work

Publishing a list of which pluins you use seems to be popular among WordPress users, so here’s my contribution in case you’re wondering, which plugins are in use around this site. Askimet – Anti-comment spam (comes with wordpress) Amazon Showcase (hacked) – Displays the “Currently reading” on the frontpage; hacked to display valid XHTML. FeedBurner [...]

The new design

Just in case you’re wondering, this new design isn’t a homebrew. Moving content and other stuff from the old (movable type powered) site to this new platform was hard enough without me having to challenge myself to come up with a design and learn how to create a wordpress theme from scratch. The core of [...]

WordPress live…

Somethings changed. There’s a new look on the site and there’s a new engine under the hood. It’s seemed to be the time to switch from Movable Type to WordPress – instead of the constant fighting with MovableType to keep things together a few years (after making too many hacks all around the MT-files), this [...]

No comments

The option to leave comments on this site has now been disabled. A new version of the website is coming and the pain comments – from time to time – causes with movable type (in terms of comment spam, server load and likewise issues) is really not worth the trouble. You will quite possible be [...]

The legacy Pain

When your fresh young company, you can do everything right from the start – choose the right tools, use the best technology and make a lean mean profit machine.

Comment spam

I hate comment spammers. I really do. The SCode captacha works, but the load the evil spammers create is pretty bad in itself. The comments were disabled a few hours, but they’re back now, after some counter measures has been applied.

Gallery2 – moving to new URL

Long ago I installed Gallery2. It was initially just a test installation to see if it worked, as it should. Being a test install it was just placed at /g2/ on this server. Time passed. It just worked and before long, there were a large number of photos (with metadata) in the gallery. So how [...]

Look Sharp

After finishing the redesign project on tdc.dk, I found a few hours to finish the redesign of this site. The former look never really got around to looking somewhat decent in Internet Explorer and never worked very well in general (except for some prettier colors). This look is an odd mixture of nifty cube, Yahoo [...]

Phase 1 complete

Operation redesign – a secret behind the scenes project after the big crash of November 2004 – has been completed. As a visible result some of the pages now look somewhat different, but there’s more.
