Music is my savior. And booze. Mostly booze.
Want to know how I display my latest tweet in the top right, and cache it on top of that? My buddy @dmrsweden made an awesome library, available on GitHub.
By now you have no doubt noticed that this very site looks different. As I have hinted on Twitter on numerous occasions, I’ve planned a redesign for quite some time. This is it, and it marks the start of a more organized site when it comes to updates and content.
Since you’ve asked, this is the what’s and the why’s of this particular redesign, in FAQ form. Continued →
A few of you have asked me of Twitter regarding my previous theme here. It was a child theme for Notes Blog, and will be either merged with the theme or released as a free child theme later on.
Right, I saw some traffic spikes the other day so I figured I’d turn on some caching just in case. Let me know if anything acts up please.
Just now I’ve rolled out a new version of TDH.me, still using WordPress of course. I’ll tell you all about it tomorrow, as well as fine-tune some things. I hope you’ll like it!
I hope you’ll excuse the silence here, but I’ve been busy writing my next book, having a week’s vacation, and catching up on work. Things are happening behind the scenes, however, and I hope to talk more openly about that real soon. In case the Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, 2nd Edition announcement wasn’t enough to merit the wait and all…
I’ve been thinking a lot on how the iPad can change our behavior, and these last few days I’ve reached conclusions for business and productivity use. Last night it sparked a bunch of drafts (on my iPad of course), so this week will be iPad week, or something like that.
This post is mostly for my own sake, but since I’ve gotten quite a few questions about TDH.me and the future I figured I’d share what’s coming up, site-wise. I’m not talking about content here, but rather what fixes and tweaks I intend to get done in the coming days and possibly week. Continued →
Sorry for the slight delay in getting TDH.me up to speed, I have just wrapped up two major deadlines and need a little breather. Just to make me feel a little better about this, I’ll release a free WordPress theme or two next week, how’s that?
I snuck out the WordPress page here on TDH.me, primarily because I had to drop the link to the Twenty Ten Tri child theme. I’ll tend to it later, this week is completely devoted to wrapping up Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, 2nd Edition.
I know the stream is broken right now. Will fix it later, for now there’s just no time to tackle it. I blame the crappy svn setup I’m still rolling here, which means I’m blaming myself. Ah well, change is coming and so on.
I know, I know, this blog is not extremely neglected, it also looks a bit dated compared to some other stuff I’m doing. Especially if you count cool things from my books. Now that just won’t do, now will it?
I’m in the process of revamping TDH.me, so if things suddenly luck totally weird and temporary, please bear with me. Most likely I will do this late one night when I feel like fiddling with something that can break. And most likely that will be done with a single malt whisky by my side, for some reason those two go hand in hand…
There’s another reason as well, and that is that I’m finally branching out to do more than just tech stuff in English. I’ll release something on Kindle (and other ebook formats) fairly soon, and it’s not about WordPress or anything like that. To make room for those things here as well, I need to do a bit of house cleaning.
And I’ll post more too. Promise.
Since I now have two books to brag about, I snuck out some sort of Books page. Sneaky.
I’ve been meaning to ramp up the publishing schedule here at TDH.me, especially concerning my upcoming book, but a few days of fever put a halt to that. So I’ll just say this: Smashing WordPress Themes is 14 chapters of theme goodness.
Unless I add some, to my editor’s dismay. You’ll never know.
I was going to publish the chapter outline here, but earlier today I actually swapped places on two of them, so it might be a bit premature. With me, this is a process up until my editor says stop, which she will when I’ve delivered the last one and hit the super-duper-mega-epic deadline for getting this book on the shelves this side of New Year’s. Which I’d like.
So there, it’s an actual update from yours truly on something, here on my blog-thingy. It’s been a while. I intend to keep those while a little less apart in the future.
Want to buy my books and make sure I get some extra coffee money with your purchase? Use the brand new Store page here on TDH.me to make me a happier, more caffeinated man.
