Mozilla Prism – Bringing Web Apps to the Desktop
I feel like I’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of months. I’ve only just heard about Mozilla’s Prism – and it’s already changing the way I use web-apps. Prism, (previously called WebRunner), is essentially a Site Specific Browser (SSB) – meaning that it’s a desktop application designed to host a single web-application. This is good for many reasons, foremost it causes less distractions. So far, I have prisms set-up for most…

WordPress: “post.php” is blank after publishing
Whilst I was helping out Bookninja earlier this week, I came across a strange problem in WordPress. Every time we tried to publish a new blog post (or page), there would be a pause, then the page would go blank. (This was on the “post.php” page) I spent a long time trying to figure out what the issue was… even longer googling it! Several pages into the Google results, I found the answer! Thank you…

All hail “The Bookninja Messiah”!
Earlier this week I’d heard that Bookninja had been hijacked, they needed some help to get their WordPress back in working order. Mark suggested that I offered my services, so I did. George explained what the problems since the hijack: Unable to publish blog posts and pages; (a blank page appeared when he tried to publish) All the pages had been delete, or disappeared. Akismet was turned off… opening the floodgates to lots of unwanted…

Personal Zeitgeist
I’ve finally started work on my zeitgeist page. My personal projects have been on the back-burner, as I’ve (obviously) had other things to think about! Personal Zeitgeist is very easy to get up and running, although I have been making a lot of tweaks – mostly to satisfy my own coding preferences; for example: renaming the *.inc files to *.inc.php – so that nobody else can view the source-code. (That’s been one of my long-term…

Social Networks are like Pubs
I received an email from Pownce this morning, letting me know that they’ve opened the doors to all! Yah! (oh, the irony) I signed up for Pownce a couple of months ago… configured my profile, looked for a few friends … didn’t find any … now what? At this point I’m reminded of Rob Manuel’s comment about social networks: Social networks are pubs. There’s little reason to like Facebook if your friends aren’t there. Anyway,…

Daddy’s Little Girl
The past weekend has been an amazing experience for me (and Lucy). After being 12-days overdue, and a 12-hour labour, Lucy gave birth to our beautiful daughter, Katelyn Mary Kelleher! I’m still trying to recover from the lack of sleep… but I can’t complain too much – as I wasn’t the one giving birth!!! (Lucy did fantastic!) Hopefully they’ll be coming home from the hospital tomorrow… I can’t wait! (apart from doing the house-cleaning! :-(…

Fatherhood
I’ve survived the first week of fatherhood! Even after all the advice from friends and family, books you’ve read, etc… Nothing prepares you for it! Completely in at the deep-end on the first sleepless night – no idea what was going on; what time it was; night-turns-into-day-into-night; a total blur! Strangely though, I am loving being a father – and absolutely smitten with Katelyn! In other news, there’s another baby (a project) that Ben and…
