I’ll be attending and volunteering at WordCamp Orlando next weekend, followed by a week of co-working near Cape Coral with the illustrious Barry Abrahamson.
Barry will be speaking on high performance WordPress and I’ll be helping with the Genius Bar, as I did at Wordcamp New York a couple of weeks ago.
Very much looking forward to it all! Telecommuting is awesome, but it makes opportunities for spending time in person with your crew that much more enjoyable.
First theme change since July 2007, I guess I was due. I had told Noël that I’d make the switch to his excellent P2 theme once he released the latest version. Since he did that on Friday, it was my turn to fulfill my end of the deal. I installed P2, made a child theme to start tweaking it to my liking with barely any effort and voilà: simple, clean, effective, I love it!
The first phase of the project my team and I worked on during our Quebec City retreat has just gone live!
WordPress.com allows you to geotag your user profile and posts. That means you can assign an earthly location to your account and to each of your posts.
WordPress.com will soon launch a Geo Search feature that will allow people to find your posts based on their locations. To show up in the search results, you need to turn geotagging on and start geotagging your posts.

More coming soon on the geo-front.
Quick and dirty edit from the balcony at the Taz on Oct. 24th 2009. Max Vincent took that one! So much height and precision!
Audio track is Galvanize by the Chemical Brothers. It was playing at the beginning of the finals so I thought it’d be appropriate.
Get or use your existing WordPress.com account, setup http://im.wordpress.com, http://p2theme.com, maybe even http://iphone.wordpress.org and our “Publicize: Twitter“, and you’ve got yourself one nice, quick, full-featured lifestreaming blog.
“At im.wordpress.com we have been experimenting with instant delivery of blog posts and comments. We started by providing a firehose for our partners but that was only the beginning. Now you can subscribe to WordPress.com blogs in your Jabber IM client and receive posts and comments the instant they are published. It is also possible to post to blogs from the chat client. In time we plan to add these real-time features to web pages. Soon the conversations on blogs will be as fast as chat rooms.”
