WordPress in simplified Chinese. Looks complicated to me. (Thanks, I’m here all week…)

Tantek and I will be at Rockin’ Java on Haight @ Shrader from 8 PM till about 10. If anyone is interested swing by and say hi.

Pictures from Upper Haight, Google, a long drive, and the Supernova dinner. These desperately need captioning.

The photos are up from my second day in San Francisco, including the WaSP mini-conference/party. There are a few funny ones but the ones from today are really great, I just need to finish a few up.

Someone told me WordPress was on TechTV today. Anyone catch it?

Tantek gives notice to Microsoft, and will be at Technorati. I got to talk a good amount tonight with Kevin Marks and David Sifry. Technorati has had some growing pains lately, but I can finally understand why they’re expanding so rapidly: Dave is an incredibly charasmatic ambassador for their genuinely interesting technology. Add in a good team, and it’s a recipe for success.

Why WordPress? An oldie but a goodie.

Kitten’s Friendly Comments 1.0, allows you to whitelist friends and moderate everyoneelse. Haven’t tried it myself yet, but how can you not like a name like that?

Is WebMonkey back? Does it matter?

Photos from my first day in SF are up, there were some others but with any luck they’ll never see the light of day.

Ten Questions for Molly Holzschlag

Netcraft on WordPress and blogging software shift, however the best reason to use WP isn’t that it’s free, it’s that it works better. Hat tip: Simon.

Davezilla, funniest site on the net, redesigns and switches to WordPress. Seems a little slow though, might want to check out the Staticize Reloaded plugin.

I changed up the comment styles a bit. Let me know what you think. I had to make a compromise with an extra element. When my audience drops below 20% Internet Explorer I’ll move to a purely generated content solution. (I estimate in about 2006.)

By the way, you may have noticed that the random photo is back to being random again. Every ten minutes one picture will be chosen from the almost nine thousand to grace the header. If you see an interesting one, please click on it and leave a comment.

Image hotlinking protection breaks online aggregators, but bandwidth doesn’t matter anymore so it’s moot.

The three top cities for the WordPress meetup right now are San Francisco, Houston, and Manila (in the Phillipines). Four people have confirmed their attendence at the Borders in San Francisco so far. If only four people come, we’ll still have a blast, but I suspect there will be some surprise guests that should make things very interesting. Saturday at 4 PM, possibly in a city near you. Don’t forget.

The other Matt is looking for the Netscape 2.02 secure site interface. Can anyone help him out?

Simon says “Maybe a friendly UI on top of the custom per-site stylesheet would help though” A fantastic idea.

These Corbis galleries have some beautifully done photos. Worth poking around for portrait ideas, at the very least.
