WP picasa plugin on dreamhost

I tried installing a WordPress plugin today that should show random picasa albums (Picasa Web Matrix was choosen for the task). Of some reasons it did not work :-(, so I had to dig into code myself. Found out that probably google have changed the structure of the feed, so some minor changes should be done in the source in order to get it working.

If you need a solution drop me a notice, I share mine :-)
I’ll play a bit with WP widgets so I removed my old theme (it was to old for widget to work), and replaced it with one distributed with WP 2.0.7.

Let’s stick to this for a while.

Kvasir.no redesign

Well if you ever wondered why there was so scilent here I tell you. We were intensively working on redesigning www.kvasir.no so I simply did no have time.

Now things are finally falling into the right place (still som bugs to fix) but you can check it out and make a seach.

By the way, it’s one of the first major Norwegian Internet services that validate XHTML Strict :-). Something I’m very proud to announce here.

Colors are ideology

Indeed, following ideology: color by itself does not mean anything! Nothing. At all. All taks about some colors not harmonizing with others or meaning something without the surrounding context is shamanism worse then horoscope.

“Red means danger” says a man that in the morning had eaten a tomato with fortitude without trembling. “Black is too obscure” - says another who read black letters in his morning newspaper and were laughing. “Grey is boring” - compains third. You are boring! Look at Baster Kiton. He is all grey but much funnier then you are. “Blue symbolize hope, green renewal” - designer talks nonsense. Please… designer… stop this and tell the client here are 16 millions colors point your finger. We will color it any color but delete button remains red (by the way, the client never argues that one :-)).

When I hear that red and green do not harmonize I go mad. Look at the freaking range of strawberries you moron!
