Dan (left) died Nov 10, 2009. May he rest in peace.

I gave a presentation to a group of Dunedin business and IT people about PixoPoint. The event was kindly organised by the Distiller.

Me, Francois Bondiguel and Pierre-Emmanuel de La Bussière

The Audience

Presenting my talk at South Bar

Paul Twemlow and I discussing geek stuff

Apparently drinking heavily makes talks much more enjoyable

Thanks to Dan Bregmen of Jism Unlimited for the photos.

I attended WordCamp NZ 2009 in Wellington recently. The conference speakers (that includes me) were invited to a hangi afterwards.

That photo is actually a montage of three different photos. My old camera wasn’t up to the task of taking photos at night so I had to take two with the flash pointing in separate directions and another with no flash to show the coals. Hopefully it doesn’t look too photoshopped

My blog was being over run by various softwares, themes etc. I’d written. Plus the blog format of this site didn’t lend itself too well to replying to support questions, so I’ve moved all of my web development posts over to a new site called PixoPoint Web Development. It features a forum instead of blog comments to allow for better organisation of questions, suggestions and advice.

I’ll eventually remove all of the old posts here (which now redirect to the new site), but I’ve left them here for the mean time in case someone comes looking for them.

Miriam Schwab, the owner of one of my favourite websites WordPress Garage, has published an article of mine on integrating WordPress blogs with your FaceBook profile.

My article is here … Finding the perfect Facebook-WordPress system

The solution that I am using is now Simply RSS, rather than WordBook which I mentioned in a previous post.

Wordpress and Facebook are da bomb! I’ve now setup a feed from my website direct to my Facebook profile. Fingers crossed it works. If it does, then you should be able to see this on Facebook right now.

Thanks to Rob at tsaiberspace.net for developing the Wordpress plugin which made this possible
