Wordpress 2.8.3 upgrade or downgrade of 2.8.2?

2009-08-09 10:46:56 | Tags: , , , , , | Comments »

I was so impressed with the latest 2.8.2 that I had to tell the world Wordpress 2.8.2 is a masterpiece. So I just clicked on the 2.8.3 version upgrade and I did not realize and good change. Now I realize some bad changes. I want to delete a plugin and wordpress tells me that it was deleted but it’s still there. Even from FTP I’m not able to delete the plugin directory. Some plugins are deactivate and when I want to activate them Wordpress tells me that the plugin files are not found, so I want to delete the plugin but Wordpress keeps telling me that the plugin files are not found. I go to my FTP client and want to delete the plugin which I cannot. Somone plz?

Can someone make me understand this article?

I have been watching people use various networks for years and for the average user their contributions and participations have multiple motivation factors. For the power user, the marketer, the brand, or the promoter it seems clear to me that their goal, even though they don’t actually know it or define it as such, is to get to the broadcast position.

Clay Shirky talks about the broadcast position in his book “Here Comes Everybody”. In his breakdown of the power law distribution and the impact it has on communication Shirky talks about how conversations shift. FULL ARTICLE +

The Taxi Driver

It’s been a while I did not post anything here and odiogo went on silent. No more! I’m still struglling with my own self how should I do the thing that is called blogging. I do have projects, opened, half-opened, closed ones, have no time, been tired, sick and so on. And the best of all is that I have many ideas. They sometimes bug me. But really. Imagine that you go to sleep and you are still thinking of the next domain you want to purchase for the sake of a boom project. Kinda mad stuff, insane. No trouble, I live though the years and am still here trying to do the right thing. There is an open web design project, I finished the demo but no answer yet… What’s the hack? Someone?

Wordpress 2.7 is not bad

wordpress upgrade

By the way I wanted to drop some lines about the latest WordPress upgrade. First time I installed it I felt I’m using a platform I’ve never used. I felt chaos, the buttons looked ugly, some still do. So then I downgraded, I had to find the old version at oldapps.com… No matter, I gave it another chance when I launched barnabasnagy.net and installed the newest stable version 2.7 and after a while I started liking it. But really it’s not as bad as it seemed, I had to switch to blue scheme from the default gray and it was already better. FULL ARTICLE +

I’m really getting off writing on my blogs and waiting for good user feedback and checking the comments with zero reply rate. Why is that? I want to earn money! I also got a nice request for freelance design job by one of my commenter. I sent my samples but no respond till now. It really drives me crazy. Yesterday I still did not finish my touch-screen project, and the worse: I found dozens of more interesting topics to read (not about touch screen) so I’m gonna sink. Have someone a solution for this? FULL ARTICLE +

It’s a common cliche question and the answer seems to be quite diverse and at the end of all somehow missing… I try to redefine the whole thing, because bloggers out there who give such advices are addicted to the money they get from you by reading their articles. So they tell you the same increasing game over and over again not telling you their real secrets. They just feed you bits by bits so that they can write about it again and again. Finally they go to bloggers Expo’s and tell the great deal. Not like that. I’m somehow unsatisfied with the cake I get.

The ugliest google logo ever made in history

2008-12-26 2:06:08 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , | 18 Comments »

holiday08_5Now, as I launched google, the day dec 5 (xmas) welcomed me with this logo. I don’t only think it’s the worst google-made logo ever, but probably one of the worst in history as well. It really makes me rethink what kind of designers are working over there in Google inc. I saw some good ideas and some moderate ones from the top search engine but this one really rocks them all. For one day I try not to say that google is the top-search engine. Most probably I’m not gonna even use it today. It’s ugly, without good idea and sense. I hope it will be tomorrow soon in order that I can use my usual helpful google. Happy holidays! FULL ARTICLE +

It was not a long time I started this site and praised the advantages of Zemanta plugin for WordPress, I realized some early backlinks from sources I’ve never though to have link to me. It was namely, the blog of Ben Bleikamp a blogger and user interface mastermind, user experience expert who inspired me in ways lot more than others. I simply liked his style of writing, his unique approach to design and marketing. So I kept an eye on his blog, well, not spent as much time as I’d love to… so he had a big impact on me even though I don’t agree with some of his applications: like the Thesis WP theme FULL ARTICLE +

It was a long way to go but it seems I reach my goal with barnabasnagy.net – I start to love blogging. I know it might sound strange but as I wanted to harness the internet tool to earn money I ended up in several dead ends. Thousands of hour spent for nothing searching for advertisement options but at the end had no revenue, or pretty little. So now it was enough and I started a new phase in my career doing what I really like.

The problem I face many times is how to pay bills, they are paid out somehow, anyways. FULL ARTICLE +

Lots of interesting and contextual free media that you can use to decorate and make your article more comprehensive and interesting. Just as I’m typing, a new bunch of images came up so I’ll put one here in order to dress the post up. It’s a lots of fun and time saver. Try it out, it’s free. FULL ARTICLE +

A bug which was debugged in 1947.
Image via Wikipedia

This is my first post and I wanted to tell you what I’m going to write about on this blog and first of all, why did I started it. I started this blog because on the blogs I have I feel a bit imprisoned to the topic of the blog, so I wanted to at least express myself in a variety of areas of life. Mostly in web design, media, graphics and such. I’m driving an official design showcase site that is well user experience and sales centered but I feel inappropriate to write there about my sometimes hardship with coding, debugging, “begging” for programming help and such.
