Binary Moon Links Competition

Thumbnail : Binary Moon Links Competition

I am in the process of working out a redesign for my site. The redesign will focus on building more of a community feel, and making the site more personal - in short focusing on what the you want rather than what I want. Some of the things I plan to add include recent comments, popular posts (based upon comments), and ... a link list.

I have already started creating my link list, filling out the wordpress blog roll, but I ...

WordPress Tips and Tricks – Custom Login Page

Thumbnail : WordPress Tips and Tricks – Custom Login Page

It's cool to have the WordPress login page customized to fit your own website branding. This is even more significant for multi author blogs, or sites you have set up for clients as it adds that little extra something.

Since writing this post in 2007 I have released a plugin called BM Custom Login which does everything described below

I was actually inspired to write this post because of a 9rules note I started. David Airey beat me to the ...

Upcoming WordPress updates

Lorelle has posted about Wordcamp and the future of WordPress and there are a few things that caught me eye.

While little has been done to improve installation, upgrades, and WordPress Plugin updates, those are a priority for the WordPress development team.

Excellent. I'd love some sort of built in upgrade system. Upgrading WordPress is generally quite easy but having 3 sites that use it means that the updates take longer and longer. A new cache proxy called WPCP is coming ...

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Review

Well, it took me all day but I managed it. I had to get some sleep before writing this but here I am letting you know what I think.

Story

The story was unusual - it was very different to the first 6 in that Hogwarts, and a lot of the characters, were only mentioned briefly. In fact it was all a bit of a mystery as Harry, Ron and Hermione all rush around trying to ...

Ratatouille Review: Part 2

From Wikipedia...

French ratatouille may be served as a meal on its own (accompanied by rice, potatoes, or simple French bread), or as a side dish. Tomatoes are a key ingredient, with garlic, onions, zucchini (courgettes), eggplant (aubergine), bell peppers (capsicum), some herbes de Provence, and sometimes basil. All the ingredients are sautéed in olive oil.

Ratatouille is sometimes used as a filling for savoury crepes.

As well as a tasty food stuff, Ratatouille is a delicious combination of all the ...

Damien Rice at the Brighton Dome

This weekend just gone I went to see Damien Rice at the Brighton Dome. The trip was actually a birthday present from my girlfriend and, my birthday being in April, meant I had plenty of time to look forward to it.

My musical tastes are very varied. I tend towards rock music but like anything powerful, I'm also a closet fan of stage shows and musicals. I love theatrical style music, so Damien Rice was a perfect fit. The ...

Ratatouille Review: Part 1

As I have mentioned a couple of times now I was recently invited to a press screening for the new film Ratatouille.

Initially I was sceptical, but I decided I'd regret it if I didn't at least try - and I love Pixar films, so I had to say yes.

The screening was at a hotel in Soho, London, so I turned up with a friend from work and went in. Initial impressions were great. The hotel was very posh and there ...

Ratatouille Panoramic images

I'm going to the Ratatouille press screening today. Expect a review some time early next week (am away all weekend so can't post straight away). To tide you over I found these Ratatouille panoramic images (via Drawn) and had to mention them.

When I was at University I had to create some Quicktime VR movies for one of my modules. Unfortunately they were nowhere near as nice as these ones, but then I guess that's ...
