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.

The WordPress community has had to endure sad third-party theme viewers for a long time.
This is no longer the case. Thomas Silkjær, creator of webdesignbook.net and a number of WordPress themes has been at it, coding the new theme viewer.
A small team, including me, has worked hard for the past few days to tag the astounding 472 themes.
If you’re looking for a new theme for your WordPress install, the theme viewer can be found on themes.wordpress.net.

…is the name of a Firefox-based browser, which has just been released in its first beta–and what a beta it is.
Featuring blogging tools for WordPress, Movable Type and many more, flickr support for images and del.icio.us bookmarking.
The first beta has been released for Windows, Linux and Mac alike, so there’s no excuse for not getting it and trying it out yourself!
It’s good looking, and it works like a treat. Check it out.

I’ve decided to finally release the theme I used to have on my blog, now dubbed “Mesozoic”.
I’ve poured tonnes of work and manhours into this theme, and I’m quite excited with the outcome.
I won’t be providing any lengthy description now, but you’ll need a bit of practical information :)

Gilles Marlet is currently working on a port to the Dotclear CMS, which I’ll add to my website once it’s done.
The download can be found here.
If you like it, please consider donating to cover hosting and caffeine expenses, or buy me something from my Amazon wishlist.
Thanks :)

Last week, I had the pleasure and privilege of staying at IO Interactive, the developers of games such as Freedom Fighters and the Hitman series.
I had scheduled my internship over eight months prior, without really knowing what to expect.
How many employees would they be? How large would their office building be? What will I be doing? Where is it located?
Finally, it was time. My parents, my brother and I packed our most necessary belongings, clamped on our old caravan and headed for Copenhagen.
Here’s an extract of my stay.

A few months ago, we witnessed the birth of the Macbook Pro and the Intel iMac.
Ever since, I’ve been hoping they released iBooks with Intel processors.
My wish has been fulfilled.
Coincidentally, I was chatting (I hate that word) in #WordPress, and was suddenly notified of the release of the Macbooks by a link.

Yup, that’s right. No, I haven’t gotten another brother or sister (thank God!) — but a notebook computer!
It’s not a new machine; it’s very low-end, but it’s quite nice for school use, low-end gaming (Worms World Party, Solitaire, Knights anD Merchants, Half-Life) and the like.

After having installed Ubuntu Linux a month or so ago, I simply can’t imagine a world without it now.
Whenever I open Windows (which, by the way, happens rarely), I find myself restricted.
The GUI seems clumsy, installation takes ages (hey, on Linux it’s three or four commands, wget file, tar -xf file, dpkg -i file or even sudo apt-get install file) and the operating system feels slow and very unpractical.
What’s funny, is that my initial reactions when I started Ubuntu for the first time were the same; it felt clumsy and unorderly–and worst of all was the CLI.
Everyone migrating from Windows to Linux or UNIX operating systems feel the same way–at least from what I’ve gathered.
From guessing, I’d assume Windows takes 4-5 minutes to boot and be ready for use. To compare the two, Ubuntu takes 40 seconds–including mounting all my devices and launching whatever applications I’ve chosen to launch at start-up (applications such as Gaim, Skype and the like).
And a thing that earns a lot of points from me: the GUI is so much better and easier to theme.
Why don’t I delete Windows entirely then? I’m a designer, having worked in Photoshop for a long time, I can’t get a grip of the tools of the GIMP. I need to be able to design good-looking websites and graphics.
And, of course, games.
