Merry Xmas, EricVB.com

I have recently updated you to Wordpress 2.9, removed the slightly cocky RSS icon in your upper left corner, and removed the sidebar 1 pixel border giving you a slightly cleaner look n feel.
You’re welcome.
What’d you get me?

Grey Matter Theme

Today I was browsing through Wordpress themes in search of something better than my previous “Panorama” theme…
I really liked Panorama, but in the end I think it had a little much going on for my taste.
Enter Grey Matter theme – a clean, simple, elegant theme for Wordpress that has the same base color palette that [...]

Updates

I did some updating recently…
Wordpress is now 2.8.3
Also updated TwitterTools and this Panorama to the latest versions.
I must admit though, I’m sort of debating whether or not to even keep a personal website/blog anymore…

PalmerForPresident.com has sort of become stale as a name. Really, it’s almost totally irrelevant considering the reason I initially registered the URL was to support the fictional character “David Palmer” from Fox’s show 24 who was killed off many [...]

Wordpress Update

This morning I updated the site to use Wordpress 2.8.
Looks like everything still works at this point, so I’m happy.
I am so glad that CSH pointed out using subversion to manage updates to Wordpress awhile back. Can’t beat 1 line commands that update your wordpress install.

New Theme

Can’t really explain why – but today I felt like changing my “Look n’ Feel” again.
Oddly enough, I started using K2 on May 10th 2008 – so it’s been my theme of choice for about 1 year exactly. At the time, I said to myself that I would never change from K2. Just [...]

Updates

Decided to be active on a sunday morning…  I updated wordpress to version 2.6.5 and I also took the plunge from Gallery 2.2 to gallery 2.3.
The updates went smoothly as usual (which is good since I didn’t make a backup) – but it does look like I have some quirks to work out…
Clearly there is [...]

Blackberry and Wordpress

I’ve had various Blackberry smartphones for a span of about 4 years.  In an ordered list, here is my past roster.

Nextel 7510
Nextel 7520
Nextel 7100i
Sprint 8830
Sprint 8830 x2
Verizon 8330 (Curve)

In the past I’ve used these devices for literally nothing besides work phone calls and email (well… and the occasional breaking of bricks) – but with my [...]
