MenZa’s Weblog

Yes. The title was desceptive, and yes—I meant for it to be so.

Now. I bought myself a flickr pro account, to get more space for my photos and for full-size pictures. Since I purchased a Sony Ericsson K750i I’ve started using flickr much more than I used to, and it’s just brilliant.

Don’t hesitate to add me as a contact if you have a profile aswell :)

You can find my flickr here.

I’ve decided to take part in the 2006 Blogathon event.
This means I’ll be blogging for a charity, I chose Association for International Cancer Research, mainly because a friend passed away from cancer, not long ago. He was 17 (I believe).

I’ll be writing one post every thirty minutes for twenty four hours, totalling a massive 48 blog posts in 24 hours.

I’m sure my blog’ll be the most boring, and there’s a good chance I’ll fall asleep. I’m just gonna do the whole thing standing, so if I fall asleep I’m gonna wake up when I hit the ground ;).

Right, July 29 at 9:00am, EST time (can anyone tell me what that is in UTC?). Be there–and watch me.

And please, please:

Consider making a contribution!

Stay tuned for more info ;)

Matt Mullenweg, the lead developer of WordPress, has announced WordCamp; and event where WordPressers meet and gather experiences, eat and discuss WordPress.

Damn I’d like to go, but it’s almost $1000 for a return flight.

Really fresh–nice and limey.

I’ve long been a sucker for green–and I’ve long wanted to have a green WP theme–so here is a template, heavily customised from another customised template, of “Blue Kino” (I’m too lazy to sport a link).
Anyway, the site is very buggy for the time (a lot of things really annoyed me, like the Gravatars, which still don’t align properly.

You’ll have to excuse these flaws for a couple of weeks, because I’ll be on holiday from tomorrow and two weeks ahead (returning next Friday).

Thanks to Nick Dienstbier for sending the initial template and the logo and Indranil Dasgupta & Geoffrey Sneddon for helping me with various XHTML/CSS problems.

Still, various parts of the site are completely outdated (e.g. About, Colophon), and need tweaking. You’ll most likely experience a few bugs while on the site.

I don’t care; it still looks kickass.

We’ve all heard the tributes to Chuck Norris going around: here’s his personal top 10.
Thanks to Tony for the link.

Well, top-of-the-list, to be infact. After being online on the WP Theme Viewer for a few days, my theme has had an overwhelming number of downloads–around 500.

In other news, I just received a 10 in Maths–10 being something like A/B+ in American marks.

Oh yeah, and I’m working on a new theme I hope I can have WordPress’ified, as I’m starting to get bored with this look.

I thought this was pretty extreme.

Apparently, in some cases, they’re required to undergo surgery to recover from their cheating attempts–which include e.g. microscopic earphones and wireless devices.

I spotted a few bugs in Mesozoic, which I fixed. Updating is highly recommendable.
