I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.5. I don’t think i like the new admin theme, too much change.

If you see something broken please let me know.

Home Improvement

Joshua Eichorn — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:25:02 +0000

With Jen moving in, I’ve been doing a lot of home improvement projects lately.

A couple weekends ago it was building a Dog Garden (Thanks Charles and Alex), then hanging a new door so the dogs could have a doggy door to get the patio and the garden.

Last night it was planting some flowers, I got some nice orange marigolds and some white petunias. Hopefully I didn’t mess anything up too much and they will live.

Giving into Web 2.0 or something like that

Joshua Eichorn — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 22:45:31 +0000

So i’ve finally given in and joined twitter and started mo-blogging with flickr.

I’m also looking into Bemba, since it’s one of my WebThumb customers.

ie8 new features announced

Joshua Eichorn — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:14:31 +0000

Microsoft has released information about whats it adding to IE8. The changes for developers look pretty good.

The biggest things I see are:

The selectors API (built selecting elements by css, there is an inprogress w3c spec for this, Webkit also implements the api in its beta)
Better developer tools
Lots of new AJAX stuff

AJAX wise most of the changes are implementing bug fixes and new APIs from the HTML 5 spec (DOM Storage, firing hashChanged events, XDM).

There also seems to be a new XDR API for making requests to other domains. The API is simple but I’m not sure if the security model is good enough not to cause long term problems. If anyone finds/writes a review of XDR and its security implications please let me know.

WebThumb integration with Drupal

Joshua Eichorn — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 16:15:30 +0000

A WebThumb drupal module has been added allowing you to easily use WebThumb in a drupal site. I haven’t had a chance to use the module but the code quality looks good.
