My Tshirt Is More “Blog Tool and Publishing Plaftorm” Than Your Tshirt
Obligatory geekness and proselytism: "Ask me about WordPress" I just got it in the mail today so I instantly dropped all current affairs to take the picture :) Love this t-shirt? Get yours now on WordPress Shirts where you can vote for the next design they'll print (my favorite one is Powered by WP by the way). I also dig…
What It Takes To Write A Chapter For #plugindevbook (Infographics)
From my experience, here is how time is spent when writing a book about WordPress plugins: Seriously, the brainstorm part is ridiculously important. Writing standalone snippets only is neat sometimes, but on the long run it might leave the reader with the impression they won't be able to glue the various parts into a functional plugin themselves. The perfect plugin…
My Tshirt Is Scarier Than Your Tshirt
Disclaimer: This one is more awesome than a Nintendo Sixty-FOOOOOOOOOOUR for Christmas. You will want to buy it. You will buy it. The tshirt itself is pretty regular: black, a not too fancy "Let Your Dark Side Out" slogan across the chest. Nothing to scream for. But then you sort of flip the shirt up onto your face and reveal…
My Tshirt Is Ruder Than Your Tshirt
This shirt nicely matches my mood sometimes at work, especially if the day is crippled with meetings. I like its aesthetic simplicity, the university athletic look and the "subtle" details that completely escape the non-initiated bystander (anno 1337 and the latin motto "Subsiste Sermonem Statim" which apparently translates to "Stop Speaking Immediately") Seriously, sporting a giant "STFU" sign right in…
My Tshirt Is Cooler Than Your Tshirt
My latest tshirt is so insanely full of awesomeness that I will have to blog about it on a weekly basis to share how much I dig it. Seriously, every time I pass nearby a mirror, I just stop and contemplate it for 10 minutes. I got it after @Viper007Bond mentioned a cool wallpaper which led me to search for…
Remember When You Were a WordPress Noob
Justin Tadlock just sent out a funny and honorable tweet: This is honorable because, yes, everybody was a clueless noob at some point and that's something to be remembered when you're asked what looks like stupid questions. Even when it seems like a trivial waste of your time, your answers might help today's noob become tomorrow's leet. And this is…
My Gmail Label / Filter Strategy (cc @willnorris)
At first I tried to answer in less than 140 characters but Twitter has its limitations. Plus, for the record, posterity, or anybody new to Gmail (you mean there is still someone out there not using it?), I thought this might be of some interest. So here it is: my shuper shmart aweshome Gmail label and filter strategy. You've read…
Bye Bye Trackbacks
Lately I realized that I absolutely don't care any longer about trackbacks. At the beginning, it was fun to get a notice every time someone would link to my blog, and I would religiously check their site and probably discovered cool blogs this way. But now? While I value comments, I just don't see the point of trackbacks any more.…
Being a Judge in the WordPress Plugin Competition
This year once again, Weblogtoolscollection.com organized their annual WordPress Plugin Competition, which has had this time a special flavor for me: I was not authorized to compete (being one of the winners of a former edition) but I did take a role in it, as I've been one of the judges. Being a judge was quite a straightforward task: Mark…
