Holidays, silencio

It’s been tad quiet here lately since it’s my holidays and I went up north to see my parents and friends. Anyways, now I’m back and pondering about new articles. Tad quiet in breaking user interface news.

Hmph. WordPress fucking things up. Categories not working properly.

There seems to be a problem with WordPress and it’s ability to sort the posts with tags. It looks like quite common problem and yet still no fix for it. It seems to cache the pages so it would take a while for new posts to appear (go figure) and because of that people seem to go with “clear your cache, wait” doctrine, which is, in my case, doing absolutely bubkus.

So, in the mean time, while the people at WordPress figure this out, if you want to chech posts dealing with i.e. gaming you just have to bite the bullet and browse through the posts (they are not that many, after all). Sucks, I know.

Edit: Nevermind. It’s now working

New domain, hassle at life

When watching from the blogs point of view, it seems that nothing has happened for a month. This, however, is not what has been going on. Here’s why.

Reason one. Work has swamped me. Been doing 11-12 hour days. Though it’s hardly a good excuse not to post anything, but as it turns out it’s one of the reasons.

Reason two. I’ve bought myself an domain (www.mintusability.com) for the blog and the whole blog-project. I’ve been evaluating different platorms for the site and setting things up. When the decision was made I’ve spent some time on Photoshop but noting final has yet to emerge from that process. Made some mockup logos and layouts, still not liking it enough, so I’m using the default theme at the moment.

Reason three. I’ve started coding of completely new project, which I knew I would need to tackle at some point. It’s going to be a long process, including Java, touchscreens and mining companies. At the moment I’m working on designing the architecture and coding some user interface things.

Reason four. As the time approaches for me to leave Finland, I’ve been tying to take care of things. Apartment in there in taken care of, apartment at Austria is on it’s way. I’m hoping I’d get a room from Studentenheim Greenbox, which is a dormitory right next to the university of FH Joanneum.

So. At this day I’m officially moving to this new domain.
