24 Ways (web design stuff)

24 Ways was started last year by Drew McLellan. He calls it a geek advent calendar. I call it cool... which must make me a geek.

Last year there were many cool new web based hints tips and general goodness released, and based on the first 3, this year looks to be more of the same. If you're a web geek like me then this could be a good springboard for new ideas for your site.

Let's hope it ...

Blogging for money – should I do it?

I have been thinking about the whole "blogging for profit" thing recently - in particular ReviewMe.

Have I really sold my soul to the devil if I start reviewing other peoples stuff?

So far I've had two offers to review things from Review Me. The first was for a last.fm style site for movies, but that didn't happen because I didn't respond quickly enough - you only have 48 hours to accept the offer and I had gone away for ...

Malaysia – Taman Negara

Thumbnail :

After the east coast we headed back to central Malaysia and Taman Negara. Taman Negara is Malaysia's premiere National Park, and the largest rain forest in Malaysia covering 4343 square kilometers.

In our time in Taman Negara we went on a night walk in the jungle, walked through the treetops in a canopy walk, raced down the rapids in tiny little boat (huge fun), and went on a night time safari drive. Oh - and one evening we got ...

Wonderlost – Alice in Wonderland

I love gothic art, and I love stylised art so Wonderlost - which seems to be the sort of thing you would get if you let Tim Burton create porcelain dolls - is right up my street.

The Wonderlost series is my artistic interpretation and dark twist on the numerous characters from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" stories. The theme across the whole series is to give each character the ...

Regulus 2.2.1 update

I said before that Regulus is now complete, and it is, but from time to time there will likely be bug fixes... as there is now.

This release fixes the following (from changes.txt)

fixed "logout" problem on comment form fixed localization error with sub pages fixed sub pages not showing page menu

You can grab the download from the normal place:

Download Regulus 2.2 now!

I have also decided to remove the version for WordPress 1.5. Anyone that is still using version 1.5 of WordPress ...

Malaysia – The East Coast

Thumbnail :

After the coolness of the Highlands we went over to the East coast for some more sea based action. We spent a day traveling from the highlands down to the coast, and stayed in a small place in Marang (or was it Merang?) and then took another day to travel down to Cherating where we spent a very pleasant afternoon soaking in the warm sea by our coastal hotel.

In order to see the sun rise we got up early ...

What has blogging given me?

Justin Shattuck hit me up with a new meme that's been started. It's only two layers deep at the moment which is unusual since I nearly always seem to be tagged right at the end of a memes life. I know it's a meme and they seem to be frowned upon these days, but I thought it was interesting so am going to carry it on anyway.

Malaysia – Cameron Highlands

Thumbnail : Malaysia – Cameron Highlands

The Cameron Highlands (I really like their website) are the highest place in mainland Malaysia, so are also the coolest. Because of the cooler climate they grow a wide variety of fruit and veg (many strawberry's) in the Highlands. They also have vast tea plantations that are spread over some very steep hills (erm... mountains).
