Tagline Shuffle
No Comments
A practice to create a habit, a habit to create a skill, a skill to replace a practice. Although I have received many comments on the tagline above I wanted to shake things up but still maintain the flavor of the phrase. I started turning over the words in my head and came up with [...]
Leading By Example …
Leading by example is often the best method to prove an idea as others may only realize its potential by seeing it put into practice first.
Try Not To Work For Friends
Try not to work for friends … the customer/vendor dynamic is one of the harshest tests of a friendship.
Goodbye Klout
Although I was quick to jump on the Klout wagon when I first came across it, this is just a quick note more than anything else about my just as quick decision to stop using the service.
I would expect no one should see any more unsolicited tweets et al. to use the service from me; and I also believe I have clicked enough buttons and disconnected all of the services that were attached to Klout as well.
I didn’t find any “close my account” or “cancel my service” options but then again Klout really does not seem all that interested in having your permission to assign a “score”.
So long and thanks for all the +K.
WordCamp Toronto 2011 Takeaway
Although WordCamp Toronto 2011 was last weekend there were several ideas I will be taking away from it in regards to future development, best practices, as well as some interesting concepts and discussions. To keep it simple I’m just going to list these items (with their inspiration): Install MultiSite for use with Theme Demos (Ron [...]
The Little Things
Once the big picture is drawn, it’s the little things that separate the good from the great.
New < 140
I just updated my < 140 block to:
I am Cais: WordPress junkie and blogger; maker of fine themes and plugins; WP Theme Review Team admin; Guitar player; and, mischief manager
For consistency purposes it’s the same “bio” details I use on most (all?) of the social networking services I belong to; which, sadly, are simply too many to remember at the moment.
Although my primary social media site is Twitter (@JellyBeen) I can be found most places if you search for Edward Caissie … look me up; and let me know you saw this post, too!
WordPress 3.3-beta1
Although it was released yesterday, I am following my normal routine of using it live now.
If you are interested in following along and helping with the beta testing, you can read my post on WPFirstAid.com on how to “Start Using WordPress Beta“, or you can download the “Nightly Build” at WordPress and start from there.
Week 39: Back At It
Last week was an interesting vacation; not what I expected nor had in mind but for the most part it was productive and we accomplished a few things that needed to be done.
Due to an unforeseen and most definitely unexpected accident we replaced our walk-in closet shelving with some much more sturdier industrial style racking. We also seem to have increased the open floor space in the closet, too. No pocket change for the racking (~$600) but well worth the peace of mind and additional space. The do-it-yourself aspect also made the project less of a chore and more of an accomplishment.
Unfortunately our hapless cat Roo will not be venturing into that closet anytime soon. It was one of his favorite places until he was buried under seven feet of clothing and a myriad amount of boxes and what-have-you items that were stored on the top shelf.
No worries, Roo is physically fine … just a bit nervous; although to help entice him back into his favorite haunt we made sure to allow for a special space and a brand new cat pillow for him to safely sleep on.
Now, re-charged and ready for more fun and games I am getting this week off to a start by catching up on my correspondence and other items of note.
I’ll see about getting some pictures posted … maybe I will even catch one of Roo in his new bed, too.
