Goodbye Oreo

I’m crying like a little girl right now as my family’s beloved rabbit passed away a couple of hours ago. He was more than a rabbit to us — he was a true member of the family.

Oreo, you will be missed greatly. Goodbye buddy.

#thesiswp And My Code

I’m not going to post my opinions on why WordPress theme PHP files are required to be licensed under the GPL as many, many, many, people have done a much better job at it then I could ever do.

However I felt I had to write a blog post to point out something: I wrote some of the code that is currently being used in Thesis and I contributed it to the WordPress project under the GPL license. I overhauled a lot of the paged comments code originally contributed by Ryan Boren and others and added new functionality such as what comment page is shown by default or the sorting order of the comments themselves. It’s some of that code that I wrote that is currently in use inside of Thesis’ thesis_list_comments() function and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more of my code elsewhere in the theme.

So not only is Thesis violating the GPL license, it is violating my copyright as I own all code that I have contributed to WordPress.
Just a little food for thought.

“The Expendables”: A Call To Arms

Looking For Firefox Addon: Make Bookmarks Buttons

I only have a few items in my bookmarks toolbar and I’m looking for an addon that will allow me to place those bookmarks (in icon-only form) in my normal toolbar. I already have an addon that makes the bookmarks button toggle the bookmarks toolbar (better than nothing) and I know I can customize my menu to get the bookmarks in my normal toolbar, but then they show up with labels, a big “Bookmarks” button, and the last bookmark hidden by an expand arrow. Does anyone know of such an addon?

I Can’t Believe I Paid $30 For This

I am such a sucker and (unsubsidized) Apple products are so overpriced. Oh well, it was worth it to not have to grab the end of the cable anymore. 🙂
