SecondAgenda : Cause you to blow your iWad

Getting back into the grind.

Category : software + updates

If the last few postings haven’t already alluded you to the fact that I’ve been diving into some new projects, this post will confirm it. There’s so much I want to put into writing but there’s also so little time for me to do that so to give you a taste, I’ll attempt to just sum things up. First, I’ve found myself posting more to my Twitter feed more than I have maintaining this site. After doing the math: cranking out 140 character messages is a lot easier than writing lengthy entries which more or less say the same thing. I have some ideas on the shelf, but at the moment they read more like incoherent outlines which only I can understand. I plan to take those on as soon as I can clean my current plate.

WordPress itself has been semi-neglected and I have been putting a new theme together bit-by-bit, sadly it’s not ready just yet and I’m picky. I won’t bore you with the details about it, but lets just say that doing markup for multiple browsers can still be a major pain and leave it at that. For those who still want the current theme, I’ve put it on SVN and want to clean it up before I can apply it to the most current version of WordPress. Flipping through items here, you’ll see where it’s broken and well, that’s just not cool. When I throw the new theme up, take that as a sign that I’m working on it.

In recent news, I’ve been contributing most of my time recently to helping the Ubiquity Team get localizations covered in time for the big 0.6.0 “End-User Benefits” release. It’s also worth mentioning that everyone on the team is nothing short of awesome. While I’ve been helping out they’ve also been helping me get integrated and organized while we’ve been throwing ideas around for what to possibly do next. Once localizations are done, which at the time of this writing are looking good, I’ll begin applying some ideas for the about: pages which will prove fun and challenging. Not exactly in that order.

So, as you can tell I’ve been keeping busy. Next I’ll try to follow-up and tell you what it’s like to wrestle with a tyrannosaurus… Which could serve as a perfect analogy to explain how I’ve been tackling localizations for Ubiquity within Firefox and how I got myself into this all in the first place. It may serve as a good entry point for those wanting to apply localizations to their own Add-on or theme (yes, theme).
