No upgrade yet

21 April 2003

I’m still waiting for the latest version of the Textpattern beta to upgrade my site. It’s been promised, but it’s easy to make promises and less easy to release great chunks of code onto public testers who will try to string you up if you harm their data. So I can be patient.

In more general news, I’ve had a really pleasant Easter weekend, including a visit to a working steam train museum and messing around with some code. I also cleaned out my wardrobe and found my minidisc walkman and an old pair of sunglasses (remember when those didn’t look totally ridiculous?), which was kinda cool.

  1. § mike: I found a pair of Oakley Mumbos the last month and forgot how huge they were... I couldn’t bring myself to wear them.
  2. § Drew: Huge and pointy! Mine are huge, round and stripy.
  3. § Andy: Wow, both those sunglasses are quite terrible anymore. Hold on to them for a few years, they might come back in style... I’m still hoping MC Hammer pants come back.

    Drew, I hear ya about waiting for textpattern b1.7 to be released... I’m getting terribly impatient.
  4. § stephan: I’m waiting myself, but it seems Dean has made some changes. Forums seem to be offline and the air smells like a brand new b1.7 coming within the next couple of days :)

About Drew McLellan

Photo of Drew McLellan

Drew McLellan (@drewm) has been hacking on the web since around 1996 following an unfortunate incident with a margarine tub. Since then he’s spread himself between both front- and back-end development projects, and now is Director and Senior Web Developer at edgeofmyseat.com in Maidenhead, UK (GEO: 51.5217, -0.7177). Prior to this, Drew was a Web Developer for Yahoo!, and before that primarily worked as a technical lead within design and branding agencies for clients such as Nissan, Goodyear Dunlop, Siemens/Bosch, Cadburys, ICI Dulux and Virgin.net. Somewhere along the way, Drew managed to get himself embroiled with Dreamweaver and was made an early Macromedia Evangelist for that product. This lead to book deals, public appearances, fame, glory, and his eventual downfall.

Picking himself up again, Drew is now a strong advocate for best practises, and stood as Group Lead for The Web Standards Project 2006-08. He has had articles published by A List Apart, Adobe, and O’Reilly Media’s XML.com, mostly due to mistaken identity. Drew is a proponent of the lower-case semantic web, and is currently expending energies in the direction of the microformats movement, with particular interests in making parsers an off-the-shelf commodity and developing simple UI conventions. He writes here at all in the head and, with a little help from his friends, at 24 ways.
