Pandaren’s Choice
I thought I’d share the choice Pandarens are given at the end of the starter zone from World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria beta.
Whiteboard Disappointment
So I spent some time working with Whiteboard looking for a replacement for Sandbox. If you couldn’t tell, I was not impressed. At first I was thrilled because it was lightweight, reminding me of why I like Sandbox… But then I started working with it. Man was I wrong! I’ve decided that, instead of giving up Sandbox, I’ll simply update it for my own use. I’m planning to update it to include support for managing menus with WordPress, and even including an updated dropdown menu setup, etc… I actually have done this for quite a few projects, most recently for Continue reading
Favicons are Fickle
Gosh favicons are finicky. I just got done cleaning up and organizing my years-old collection of bookmarks and noticed that I didn’t really like my current website favicon so pulled out an old sprite someone “made” for me, modified from Mog’s sprite in FF6. I’ve sort of grown attached to it over the years and so it seems to fit perfectly as a favicon. I found a really promising “sandbox” replacement for wordpress, I’ll be working on a project shortly utilizing it, I have high hopes for it, it will be nice to work with something that’s been updated to Continue reading
Sandbox for WordPress
In the glorious past (’09) there was an awesome barebones theme for WordPress called Sandbox. I discovered and instantly fell in love. I’ve used it actually for all of my projects from then on, but as WordPress updated it became dated, I have to “update it” now to include basic support for menus and other things that are somewhat basic and standard with most themes nowadays. Over the years I’ve tried to find a replacement, but I usually come across projects that seem to miss the entire point of a basic wordpress theme. Sandbox is nice because it’s easy to Continue reading
World of Warcraft Classic
It all started back in Vanilla, I think even the beta briefly. Truth be told I wasn’t as into WoW then, to me the game seemed far to grindy (more so then I was interested in). Many folks actually forget that one of the ideas behind WoW was to be a sort of “casual gamer’s Everquest” (talk about a grindy game!). You see lots of people, at least the vocal ones, complaining about how bad WoW has gotten, how lame Cataclysm is, and go on to talk about the glory days of Classic (or TBC). Frankly it’s all nonsense, I Continue reading
