WordCamp PH 2010: WordPress Setup and Maintenance

Published terribly early in the morning of October 10, 2010

Last week, I had the chance to once again be a part of WordCamp Philippines. I was a last minute addition, taking Winston’s place for the topic WordPress Setup and Maintenance. It was rather hard to prepare a presentation that lasts 30 minutes discussing a task that would normally take just five. It was definitely [...]

Random Thoughts On A Random Night

Published terribly early in the morning of June 10, 2010

This will likely be a long list on unrelated thoughts, so sit back. Enjoy the ride and the mess of a blog post. One hack I’ve long wanted to implemented here on this site is a continuously–updated photo gallery. The existing /photos section still serves its purpose well, powered by iPAP, a simple photo gallery [...]

WordCamp PH 2009: WordPress in the Wild

Published late at night of November 25, 2009

Back in September, I had the chance to talk about a technology topic I’ve always loved long before it became a household name — WordPress. If you recall in 2008, I was also at WordCamp Philippines and discussed Developing WordPress Plugins, this time around my talk was WordPress in the Wild: Deployment, Performance, Optimization, and [...]

5 minutes with WordPress 2.7 Beta 1

Published terribly early in the morning of November 2, 2008

The first time I heard from Matt about WordPress 2.7′s new interface in WordCamp Philippines, I was excited to see some new UI elements and concepts taking a more prominent role in the whole application. After all, blogs and web applications were supposed to be way ahead in adopting new approaches in designs and interfaces. [...]

rev3 is dead.

Published in the late afternoon of October 21, 2008

The old theme I’ve been using for four years or so is now out of service. I’ve fondly called it “rev3″ as I consider it my third major design revision, though within it there were several micro–versions. I think I’ll be playing with this new thing I call “R8,” all in its single–column goodness. If [...]

Moved.

Published terribly early in the morning of October 2, 2008

VPS hosting is the future. After quite some time using Dreamhost’s shared hosting service, I finally moved most of my sites to a Linux VPS. Not that I’m extremely disappointed with Dreamhost, it just so happened that I’ve been hearing good praises on VPS hosting when compared to traditional shared hosting, especially with Slicehost. That, [...]

WordCamp: Developing WordPress Plugins

Published terribly early in the morning of September 13, 2008

I did tell you I was slated to speak at WordCamp Philippines last week, right? I’m not so sure if I managed to expound on my topic acceptably, but hopefully I gave fellow WordPress users an idea on how to approach the task of coding your own WordPress plugin. If in doubt, you can always [...]

Now on WordPress 2.3.3

Published just before lunchtime of March 1, 2008

This blog has been running on a customized 1.5–based WordPress for a few years now. As a result of my modifications, it has slowly showed its age and weaknesses in the backend. I’ve been unable to take advantage of the better plugins out there, though thinking about it now I still had all the features [...]

BukoPie

Published terribly early in the morning of August 13, 2006

BukoPie is a new feed reader for WordPress I hacked from the SimplePie demo, allowing WP users to have their own XML feed reader right in the WordPress dash/admin pages. I added functionality for keeping a feed subscription list and tag–based categorization. I’m sure this isn’t the first feed reader for WP, but it fills [...]
