I’ve finally upgraded to WordPress 1.5 (plus a few patches). Would you believe that I’d still been running 1.0.1 (with a few security fixes)? I never upgraded to 1.2.x because of the slashes bug, so it’s nice to be current again. A few notes: This fix got trackbacks working for me. I implemented the alternate…

After my successful releases and launch of the new King Design web site a couple weeks back, I decided I should give myself a much deserved little bonus. 🙂 One of the nice things about working for yourself is the opportunity to do things the way you thought they should be done when someone else…

I packaged up the code changes I made to Alex Gorbatchev’s excellent dp.SyntaxHighlighter to make it work with PunBB. It is available for download (example).

Only 15 months after moving to Colorado, I finally registered my car and got my Colorado drivers license today. The process was surprisingly easy, taking about 3-4 hours total – perhaps because I was able to find out what I needed to bring in on the Colorado web site so I had everything ready. I…

The total purse for the WordPress 1.5 Theme Competition (blog) is up to a staggering ~$900 worth of cash and prizes. With almost two weeks left in the competition, I’m already comfortable calling it a smashing success. There have been 38 themes posted plus 6 more that I’ve received in the last 24 hours that…
