Finally updated header

Finally got round to updating the header image for my blog last night; it’s somewhat gone Christmas now, so the blue snowflake header image wasn’t really appropriate any more :)

Blog moved to new server again

Right, moved the blog again to another server, things should be quite a lot quicker now.

I’m also using the WP-Cache plugin, and I’ll probably install one of the PHP accelerators (like E-Accelerator) to speed things up even more.

WP/K2 bug in <!–more –> tags?

Started using the code editor in WP rather than the visual editor, as the visual editor annoyed me on a few occasions by mangling my code in ways I didn’t want it to.

In my last post, I typed the <!–more–> "more" seperator the proper way with a space before the close of the comment (i.e. <!–more –>) and the “Continue reading…” link didn’t appear. Not sure if it’s a problem with WordPress or with the K2 theme I’m using… must investigate.

Edit: actually I guess upgrading to the very latest WP version would be a good first move.

Irritating yet clever game

OK, StumbleUpon led me to this irritating yet very clever game. It’s like Breakout in that you move a paddle to keep a ball bouncing… but there’s a second ball balancing, and every time you move your paddle to one side, the platform the second ball is on moves the other way. Annoyingly addictive to try to beat your best time. So far I’ve managed 22.995 secs… can you do better?

Nice illustrations (Will Murai)

Found Will Murai’s site via StumbleUpon - some brilliant illustration work, this guy has skills!

A test “aside”

This is a test entry in the “asides” category.  K2 (the WP theme I use) allows “asides”, which are small entries of lower importance than regular blog entries.

I’d like to be able to use that for little trivial updates.  Alternatively, I might try out Twitter and show latest Twitter updates in my sidebar.
