somefoolwitha.com ...since 2002

I have finally made the venerable old WordPress Adminstrip, which Brendan had converted to a plugin, available on Wordpress Extend Plugins. This will mean that any updates will get caught by the clever plugin updating system built into Wordpress and that you'll be able to search for it.

This is of course the original version of the Habari version - hadminstrip.

You can see a screen grab here.

What you can deduce from this is that I finally kind of understand SVN and might have to buy Versions to continue. Why oh why are SVN apps so damn complex to use with shocking UIs?. I'd really like to see it work like DropBox, or maybe DropBox could even integrate SVN .. now theres an idea.

Im an Apple Mac user from back in the Plus/SE day when the LC was as good as a Core2Duo and OS X was but a glint in NeXT's eye, whilst BeOS seemed like the next best thing. If you wish to keep up with my internet shamblings and ramblings then take a wander to my Lifestream.

Why somefoolwitha.com? Well, its from when I was playing UT and TacOps online - I used the nick somefoolwithagun, and somefoolwitha dot com seemed a logical step and to also roll of the tongue. Nowadays you can often find me online on my Xbox 360, so why not come race me or kill me.

In addition I have pompeyblogs.com, a list of blogs in Portsmouth or the surrounding area. If you'd like to be added to the list contact me and I'll make it so.

Be sure to check out The Fawcett Inn page with all live music recorded at The Fawcett Inn, Fawcett Road, Portsmouth, UK.

I'm an atheist (though Pastafarionism sounds tempting) so don't bother trying to convert me to whatever mind-altering religious mass-cult or whatever the other sheep are following this season. "If atheism is a religion then not collecting stamps is a hobby..." #

You can find a list of my various site's here on ClaimID, though it may not always be entirely up-to-date.

Here's some stuff I've made which you might be interested in:

• Habari: Hadminstrip plugin puts a strip of links to useful admin pages at the bottom of every page of your Habari site if you are a logged in administrator. Posts.
• Habari: Habari Digg Bar KIller plugin does what it says on the tin. Post.
• Habari: hMallow 2 theme based on my previous themes for WordPress: Mallow and Mallow 2.
• Wordpress: WP Adminstrip plugin puts a strip of links to useful admin pages at the bottom of every page of your Wordpress site if you are a logged in administrator. Posts.
• Wordpress: WP Mallow is my first ever WordPress theme and should still work with WP 2+. Posts. Demo site.
• Wordpress: WP Mallow2 is a not-quite-finished update to my first WordPress theme, Mallow. It should be pretty useable though. Posts. Demo site.

Note WP-Adminstrip's natty new OS Xish semi-transparent black background.

Still working on it, and I'd ideally like some sort of pop up semi-transparent div for quick posting from the adminstrip similarly to the excellent Tumblr posting system, also quick editing of comments etc all from the adminstrip.
