I always thought the Leopard Dock had its flaws. Mainly that the 3D surface was bright, the S-wave background got in the way, and the glowing “active app” dot was way too hard to see.

I downloaded a few themes from leoparddocks.com:

• Revamped: Darker dock background, no annoying wave
• Liger Indicators: Takes Tiger’s black triangle indicators and adds Leopard’s glow
• New Separator: Dock separator with a correct perspective

Found this face yesterday when I was replacing my side mirrors D:

This is a test post from the wordpress iPhone app with a test picture. Yay!

another year goes by, and with a few exceptions (New York and Colorado trips, getting a new job) was mostly a non-event. oh wait 1 more to add to the list — the mass Microsoft Zune suicides that have been happening today.

Geek MS-bashing and Zune jokes aside (see digg), I looked up slashdot to find some possible explanations and it looks like it’s due to this being a leap year — today was the beginning of day 366, and something in the Zune exploded. lol..

Happy new year!

Pics from my summer trips to New York and Colorado are up.

Hi there! So I guess I’m going to an annual update on this site, since it’s been over a year since I last posted. Going from almost daily updates, then on to weekly, monthly, quarterly, and now this. 

I’m here partly to dust the cobwebs off this site, but also to check out what’s new with Wordpress. I was previously running 2.3.1 and going to 2.7 took a little more than the usual brainless steps of going to an upgrade URL and clicking a button. 

Why do I need to know what’s new with WP? Without giving away too much info I’ll be tinkering around with it to see if I can make a new custom plugin that we need at my work. Cool Times.

I still have the gallery to set up and recover, but wondering if I want to go that route. I was never too happy with g2’s speed, and its integration with WP left a lot to be desired. Looks like they’re working on g3 which will address the problems I’ve had. Until then, I’m thinking about getting on smugmug or flickr pro. I’d be on one of those now if it weren’t for the fact that 1) I already pay for my own webspace and like having my own files on my own server, 2) I’m also on Apple’s Mobile Me which has a photo service of their own, but it’s slow and shitty, doesn’t work in all browsers, and don’t offer any cool syncing or uploading services that link my iPhone to my iPhoto collection. So I don’t really want to pay for another web-service when I don’t really have to.
