I finally replaced my antique Movable Type install with a current WordPress. (and for now, a customized version of the fspring theme.)
That last design, the MT one, was pretty tweaked out and hand-written and sucked to write, but it lasted six years. Actually, I still like it. But I was never going to migrate it; it was stuck with that specific version of MT.
While I was gutting things, I jettisoned about 90% of my blog archive, which dated back to 1999(!). Nothing anybody will miss.
RSS will probably hiccup, but hopefully redirects are working such that my thousands of readers will continue to never miss a post.
Right. Hello.
Couple of new records out that I mixed…
[mandelbrot set] Hotel Magnolia – Croatian noise rock with a psych bend. These guys tracked everything in Croatia and shipped me a pile of DVDs to mix. Great record and the package is beautiful too — 12″ clear vinyl with an included CD. I’m not quite sure how to get a copy in the US — ask the band. myspace
The Scrams – Four-song 7″. Good times garage rock, a la The Oh Sees or King Khan. Tracked in an Albuquerque garage, mixed by me. Buy it here, download free mp3′s here.
Some current goings-on:
1. Kowloon Walled City has a new record coming out at the end of the month. We posted two songs for your listening pleasure, and you can pre-order a copy (12″ LP with included CD) here.
2. I’m speaking at Adobe MAX next month. My talk is “Flash Builder 4 Advanced Tips and Tricks”. It should be a hoot.
3. And though I’m not blogging much, I’m on the Twitter. I’m @gscottevans, the band is @kowloonwalled, and the Adobe me is @gseadobe. FOLLOW ME.
I just posted a small but welcome update to Indices.
In order to make the entire link cells clickable, the original version used a technique that caused “Save As” and “Copy Link Location” to break in most browsers. This has annoyed me for almost two years but I just found time to fix it.
The original version surrounded the cell content with a div, and put the link on that. I changed it to use CSS to expand the link:
td a, th a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
}
Seems to work much better.
You can download the new version (1.1) here.
