CherryBerry2 WP Theme in Developement!

July 9th, 2007 in Wordpress 1 Comment

Sorry for the lack of updates. I am currently working on a highly anticipated wordpress theme, CherryBerry2. So far coding is going on very smoothly. If everything goes well, I can release CherryBerry2 in a few weeks time.

I am using KISS principle to develope this theme, so I do hope people won’t have to pull their hair just to customize the theme. Because of that, I am dumping this theme supports on older browser. Your codes can’t be simple to support both modern and older browsers (think of the CSS Hacks). So far, this theme looks fine on most modern browser on Windows platform.

So, before I release this theme, any suggestion for features to be added in this theme? I am not too sure what people want in their theme. I can try implement any requested feature that is within my skills to CherryBerry2.

Update: I created a page for Cherry Berry 2, with all the roadmap and crap. This is to prevent myself from slacking off

TheMiak.com Redesign Complete!

July 4th, 2007 in Wordpress Leave a Comment

At last, after spending hours coding this theme, I finally finished it. Special thanks to Kael who drew and coloured the banner. Anyways, My friend is satisfied. I am satisfied because this is one of my best work so far, other than the theme used here of course The theme used there is based on this theme used here. And this will be the based for Cherry Berry 2. Now that I have finished this project, Cherry Berry 2 will be on the way.

TheMiak is a comic + blog site, and my friend requested me to do a redesign for that site since early this year. But I’ve been slacking off and lazy. And study of course. Finally finished it, and everyone’s happy now. But I still have to do one more thing on the site, that is to setup a comic gallery.

Among the features I have implement on TheMiak redesign are:

1. Gravatars. On both post and comment. Now how cool is that? The reason I used gravatar on post as well is because it is a group blog, and I think it would be good if all bloggers have their own avatar, thus using Gravatar, a Globally Recognized Avatar.
2. Official Comments. Without the plugin. Well, this mini hack uses codes discussed in the MalaysiaBloggers forum. So anyway, if the author of the site leaves a comment, there will be a star on his/her name. Just like how it is here on my blog.
3. Widgetized. Now I know how to widgetize my theme. I widgetize TheMiak theme is because I want to learn how to implement widget to a theme. This is for Cherry Berry 2 after all

I learned a lot when coding this theme. And I hope to create a better theme in the future.

TMNet Streamyx P2P Throttle Lifted?

July 3rd, 2007 in Asides 7 Comments

I’m not using any VPN. I am not torrenting from local tracker. I am not using any crappy China torrent client. I haven’t do any special tweaking both of my computer and router settings. But all of a sudden, my normal torrent speed is back. I wonder what happened?

Wow. Since when TMNet is so nice eh?
