OpenID
I’ve now (finally) got two-way OpenID support built into this installation of wordpress. What this means is: I can log into sites like Livejournal using my account from teknostatik.co.uk. Not that useful, but fairly impressive. Anyone who has an account … Continue reading

I’ve just stumbled upon this net label, whilst trying to determine which year the Wind Whistles album was actually released in (the answer being 2007 and 2008 in different places). The label has so far only released three albums, but … Continue reading

WordPress 2.7
I wasn’t sure I needed to upgrade this website to WordPress 2.7 (the latest version of the blogging software which acts as a front-end for everything else here), but as I missed the last couple of releases I decided it … Continue reading

I was looking at Wiki Widgets today, and in particular how to integrate Google Calendar and Twitter with Mediawiki. This is something I’d like to investigate further when I’m not so busy.
