Mostly news post this week. You might want to check out my full Blog Herald reporting, as well as my Twitter account of course. I passed 3,000 tweets, sweet.
Also, I am no longer the acting editor on Devlounge, and hence won’t write there as often. There’s no controversy there, part of my time had already been refocused from Devlounge to the Blog Herald, so it is all good.
I’m not in the habit of working neither weekends nor holidays, and I’ve got no plans to change my mind this year. So this post is written on December 22, just like the ones linked below. I will see you all in 2009!
I hope your 2008 rocked! If not, make it so, because it will end in a couple of days time…
I can’t believe how fast December went by! Crazy. It is certainly taking its toll, so I’m looking forward to taking a (short) break.
Probably missed something here, it has been a truly packed week.
Can’t talk, drinking scolded wine! That’s glögg in Swedish, dear reader from elsewhere. A Christmas tradition here. I did write some stuff too, though.
Did you catch the Notes Blog site?
Wow. This is the first time I have an asides like functionality on any of my blogs, and I find it totally addictive, as you can see below. Five posts, five asides post, and then a regular one (like the one you’re reading now), followed by a somewhat more sane use of asides.
I find it very easy to share something funny with you all, dear readers, using asides. A bit too easy really, since it means that I risk to pump out a bunch of posts each day, but none are really original content. Links are great, but I know you’re dying to hear what I have to say, even if you’re reading it. Sometimes I think that having to go through a bit more hassle is a good way to make sure you’re taking the time needed, although I won’t go so far as to blabber about Slow Blogging…
Anyway, if you’re as addicted to asides – mine or the pure notion of having them on your blog – you should read my post on the matter over at Devlounge. The upcoming WordPress 2.7 certainly does a lot of things right, that’s for sure.
And I promise I’ll write more posts. I’ve been busy, that’s all I can say.
I’ve been busy this week. Real busy. Too bad most of it will be published on dead trees in Sweden. You’ll have to settle with this week’s posts online.
I hope you like the new theme. It’s not done yet, I’m afraid. Some tweaks to be made, features to be rolled out, and the occasional bug to squash. That’ll have to wait though, since I’m away on conferences and meetings this weekend.
I’ve had a good week, which is nice. On the freelancing front, I’ve got my first post up on Jon’s Spyre Mag. When it comes to design, as you know I’m running an addon theme for Notes Blog Core on tdh.se, which is working out nicely. Expect a public beta soonish.
For those of you who wondered, no, I don’t have an ETA on the third part in Stiel’s story. It might not get written this side of New Year’s even, as I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do.
I’ve been ill all week so not much has been published, I’m afraid. Still not entirely well, so it’ll be a quiet weekend for me. As always, news posts and such aren’t represented below.
As most of you probably figured out, the announcement I hinted on previously was the sale of BloggerTalks and Live Arcade Review. I’m really happy to see Splashpress Media getting them back in business, dying sites are both stressful and bad for you, so I’m glad that worked out.
Another week of mostly newsy posts. On the positive side, I expect to run a closed beta test of the Notes Blog theme starting this afternoon. Got a few users that’ll play and develop for it. Stay tuned for more.
I’ve been laying low this week on the freelance front. Most of my work have been behind the scenes, which will be very obvious on Devlounge in particular during the coming weeks. Other than that, my company’s fiscal year ended recently, so the paperwork has been bogging me down as well.
The news I’ve hinted on previously will be announced soon enough. Some of you have probably gathered what it is already…
