Smilies Switcher

A thread was made on the WordPress support forums asking if there was a way to have different smilies per theme. Since there didn’t seem to be a way to do it via WordPress itself, I threw together a plugin that works with Theme Switcher to allow you to do it.

The plugin’s page is here if you want to use it on your site. Leave any comments on that page as well. 🙂

Freebord – Snowboard the Streets

Wow, this “Freebord” thing is insanely cool. It’s a skateboard that has additional center pivoting wheels which allows you to slide sidways if you want like a snowboard.

A great video that explains the Freebord and shows it in action can br found here with some more details, pictures, and videos being found on the official Freebord site.

That thing really makes me wish I wasn’t so un-coordinated. 🙁

I’m Already Growing Tired of My Theme

Yes, that’s right, after just a month of using it, I’m already starting to somewhat grow tired of this theme.

I really wish I had some artisitc skills so that I could make what I consider to be a perfect theme, or at least change this one more to be perfect.

What do you all think of it? What do you think I could do to improve it?

Google Talk Released

Google Talk, Google’s IM client, has been released. Since it uses the XMPP protocol, any client that supports Jabber/XMPP can connect to the Google Talk service. Check out this list to connect your client to the Google Talk service.

Another small step in Google’s plans to talk over the world and no, I’m not complaining. 🙂

Oh, and I’m connected via Trillian Pro, so you can hit me up at Viper007Bond [at] gmail [dot] com if you want.

Live Blog Search

I ripped some code outta the WordPress theme K2 (the sequel to the infamous theme Kubrick that comes bundled with WordPress) that allows you to see your search results as you type.

I’ve modified it a bit and my modifications are still a work in progress, but you can check it out in the search box to the right.

(It may take a second or two to display the results as it has to query each time you type, so be patient.)

Feeds Should Be Fixed Soon

Sorry, I had a plugin that was throwing out error messages at the top of all of my pages when you first visited that site and that was screwing up the feeds. Since I’ve made this new post, Feed Burner should refresh it’s cached version of my feed and the error should go away (hopefully).

[edit] Fixed and all better! 🙂 [/edit]

Thanks gig for pointing out the error. 🙂
