I’m very proud to announce the launch of FavePersonal; a WordPress theme designed for personal websites. I have been using (and building and…
Fellow Colorado web geeks, I made you a t-shirt. The code that comprises the white stripe is a full, working HTML page with canvas code that draws…
It’s been very interesting to me to see how some folks are re-evaluating their work/life balance in the wake of reading Isaacson’s Steve…
My company, Crowd Favorite, is hiring a technical project manager / web producer to join our team in our Denver office. If you love working with the latest and greatest web technology (we specialize in building Big Things with WordPress and Open Source) and want to join a top-notch team with world-class clients and projects,…
Looks like some great new stuff in here – I see digesting, prototyping and testing in my future.
While our post formats admin UI is getting a nice warm reception (100+ tweets, pings and comments, wow!), there is a concern that has popped up a few times – one that I included a nod towards in my original post. What happens when publishers put important data in the post format custom fields, then…
With our latest and biggest RedMonk Analytics feature drop to date, we are now able incorporate data from any source…
Congratulations to Steve and the RedMonk crew. As usual, they have been on the forefront of industry trends.
Well illustrated. (thanks Dougal)
I was curious about this. I’ve always used WiFi, but I’m trying Bluetooth as a test.
This is when I discovered that growing rapidly teaches you one thing well: how communication continually finds new and interesting ways to break down.
If you aren’t subscribed to Rands in Repose, shame on you.
Over the last 6 months we have had a few clients want to delay upgrading to the latest version of WordPress. They didn’t see any urgency to upgrade because there were no immediate security concerns addressed in the update that affected their site. I can certainly understand this thinking. When upgrading you need to spend…
Me: How many Kindles can I reasonably own when I just like the idea of using them but don’t actually use them? Dave: I’m not great at math, but knowing you and hearing that question, I’d say 4. I only need so many test devices for Delivereads, but they are cheap and new and shiny!
Crowd Favorite is hiring! We’re looking to add a designer with good HTML and CSS chops to join our front-end team in our Denver, CO office. I’m certainly biased, but I think this is a pretty great position. You will get to: work with latest web standards work on high-profile websites conceptualize and create new…
The difference in speed between an ID and a class is almost totally irrelevant.
A test selecting on a type (<a>), rather than a class or ID, gave a much slower reflow.
There are a few things I didn’t know here.
Developers, take note. Time to start testing your code for WordPress 3.3 compatibility.
If you’re using Moderinzr to detect browser support for touch events, be aware that non-touch BlackBerry devices claim to support touch events. As you might expect, the touch events are pretty much impossible to trigger on a non-touch device. I worked around this by making the check for touch vs. non-touch browsers also test for…
Drumming up support for my latest #WordPress core patch. Would love to see this make it into 3.3. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18520

@BillHiggins I haven’t been able to test exhaustively, but early indications are promising. Thanks! /cc @sogrady
Instead of recognizing the entrepreneurs who have quietly risked it all to build something lasting, we get caught up in social media popularity contests and Twitter “influencers.” We too often ignore the men and women who have built companies that provide livelihoods for their employees while we fawn over self-help gurus offering four-hour short cuts.
(thanks Nick)
Pro tip: the fastest way to erase a drive in OS X is to re-partition it. This does not securely erase anything, but it is fast.
Over the last few years I’ve ended up with 4 different machines that I use on a regular basis. I have workstations at the office and at home, a large laptop as a portable workhorse, and a small laptop for travel. Each of these has a development environment on it so I can get work…
NPR.org – When Patents Attack – this is nuts. (thanks Steve) Remarks by the President at University of Maryland Town Hall | The White House – plainspoken answers to tough questions. Don’t punish everyone for one person’s mistake – “learn to shrug”. (thanks Matt) The Chart That Should Accompany All Discussions of the Debt Ceiling…
I received this from BlueHost the other day: We’ve made an important addition to the BlueHost.com Affiliate Agreement (http://www.bluehost.com/affiliate_terms.html) that may impact the way you manage your online promotions. The change expressly requires you to disclose that there is a “material connection” between you and BlueHost.com anytime you offer an endorsement or testimonial on our…
Turned on my Droid tonight for some testing. First time I turned it on since switching to an iPhone two months ago.
Cribbed from the WP-Hackers list, the following sample code should give you a good way to test if the current “in the loop” action is within the main loop or a different loop: function main_loop_test($query) { global $wp_the_query; if ($query === $wp_the_query) { echo “main loop”; } } add_action(‘loop_start’, ‘main_loop_test’); Thanks Nacin and Konrad. This…
Thoughtful of @davepell to send out the latest issue of #delivereads () so I have some good in-flight reading material.
I’ve got an idea… I love it when I get a note like this from internet superhero Dave Pell. It normally means I’m going to get a chance to help build something I’m going to love. Our latest project together is Delivereads. You may have read about it already on Daring Fireball, Gizmodo or the…
