Movable Type back on the march?

Lewis — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:33:06 +0000

I wonder whether there are any indices yet, as to whether the newish wondrous free Movable Type is making any dent in the supremacy of WP…

The pro nay-sayers, of which I would never consider myself one, have as their convention wisdom that 2.5 was the inevitable disaster - what goes up, must come down - the trickle away will surely become a flood…

A. Aim to be a better blogger every day. Always try to learn something different and new. Here is a great site that will help you build your site by personally developing yourself along with your blog. Either you keep up with the times/technology or your blog will eventually fade into the black-hole of the blogosphere and be but a forgotten memory.

Google maps bus information

Lewis — Mon, 12 May 2008 11:48:14 +0000

Just noticed that Google maps now has information on bus stop location, each with a list of alleged buses available in the infomarker.

Not good news if you actually wanted to catch a bus, but the saving grace for anyone concerned about the all-seeing eye of the 2 Mr Google’s deep in their underground lair, is that the information is completely wrong… (at the moment). There’s a bus stop there, but it sure as hell doesn’t have those bus numbers stopping at it.

Habari PHP weblog software

Lewis — Sun, 11 May 2008 07:32:44 +0000

Having a lot of work stacked up and nothing fun to do, I decided to ignore the work and give Habari a test installation on a localhost, just play around with it for an hour or two and see what the deal was with the core code.

To be scrupulously fair, these vague observations are the product of an hour or so, and of course, not authoritative in that regard. Against this, I have no great love for the present direction of WordPress… 2.5 seems laudable in most ideas, but not quite the finished version at present - there is still the spectre of bloat here, and I don’t think viable competition would do WordPress any harm at all.
