It took me bloody ages to work it out, but eventually this super complicated solution worked for me.

 

REMOVE THE SIM AND TRY AGAIN.

 

Good luck, and I hope googlefodder and this helps someone.

So I’ve convinced gordonjcp that djangodash is a good idea… (mwahahaha)

We’ve got a few ideas of our own (my favourite being /getinvolved - of which more details are secret at this stage) but would love suggestions and to hear your ideas….

Comments below, and I’ll update this post with further details as we get them.

Over the Wall (warning, myspace, with all the evil that it involves, including autoplaying music) are playing at Oran-Mor’s Acoustic Open Night - which is odd for a band normally quite heavy on synth; but in their own words:

How the hell will that work I hear you cry!? We have tricks up our wizard’s sleeve we reply… This is actually an open mic which has a guest set from a featured artist every so often and now it is our turn - so come along not just to watch but also to participate if that is your bag of slugs. We shall wear our appearance like a rusty sheriff’s badge of honour.

So if this sounds like your thing, Essk and I would love to see you there….

(Comments for attendance welcomed on post, so can be sure you’ve got my nobile phumber , and I can keep an eye out for you )

It’s that time again.

Go forth an moron him.

I’ve been spending a lot of time inside the inside of wordpress recently, partly by choice, partly by "force". I was requested to make some modifications to an already existing CMS to allow it to be used for online publishing, but the time available and my experience with the product in question were both very slim so I put forward a case to use wordpress and to do a total conversion instead. Client wasn’t so keen, client went away, client thought about it, client came back, wordpress happened. Writing a theme for wordpress that looks nothing like wordpress was a lot easier than I thought, and I look forward to spending some time (when I’ve removed the my study from boxes) into redoing my own site in a similar style - neuro sorta had a theme similar to the one I want, for a while. I want my content to be presented differently depending how old it is:

• Loads of space, bigger fonts, and more obvious, perhaps with a custom background colour and border
• Smaller, but still full width, with less emphasis, a stock background and no fancy border
• Left Column, 1/4width of page
• Middle Column, 1/4width of page
• Right Column, 1/4width of page

and a seperate column on the right hand side, full width, bar the header, that carries the usual wordpress gubbins. I’m also liking the idea of theme highlighting based upon category, so I will play with that too, I think Like most of my projects, I’ll probably never get off my arse and write it, but I think this recent (paid) excursion into wordpress hackery has given me the kick in the crotch I needed to get off my backside and work on my own site for a change! Maybe.

The site in question is CK:ClicK. We also have plans to take our wordpress changes into a grand unified plugin and release it open source style "at some point" soon-ish.
