The automattic gang keeps busy -- damn. They make me feel like I don't do anything.

Anyway, a few of the things to look forward to in bbPress 1.0 is a complete XML-RPC publishing API, pingback support (just like the CMS), themes now have the all-so-familiar functions.php file and more.

Pictoplasma – Outstanding Contemporary Character Design

Christopher Hennis — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:00:37 +0000

Pictoplasma is one of the most impressive, stunning, visually inspiring and overall mind blowing entities out there for publishing, exhibiting, and writing on artistically conceived character design and art and the relationship between the character design and the message behind the piece. I definitely believe that if you're into design of any nature, especially logo design or designs meant to represent a larger entity of any sort, then Pictoplasma should be an organization that you are at least somewhat familiar with.

Performance vs Pretty

If you guys have found JungleJar.com to be somewhat slow as the website loads up, or sometimes not responsive at all, I apologize to you wholeheartedly. Even I was dumbfounded as to what was causing the slowdown that seemed to gradually become more and more bothersome. Anyway, I have found the problem, and without embarrassing [...]

21 Elegant And Inspiring Minimalistic Logo Designs

Christopher Hennis — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 07:15:50 +0000

If you've been a reader of JungleJar for any length of time now, or you tend to stop by just to check on our Wordpress Templates, then you most likely know that minimalism is my thing. I love the classy, elegant and aesthetically dramatic feeling a clean and relatively 'simple' design can articulate with as little text / graphics as possible. However, don't mistake minimalism design for something that is easily done..

ProFolio – Free and Professional Portfolio

Christopher Hennis — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:46:59 +0000

ProFolio is a professional ready to go portfolio that is perfectly suitable for both a personal portfolio or a more professionally oriented portfolio. Essentially anyone that wants an easy yet customizable way to display their graphical presentations such as photographs, digital art, web designs, etc would most likely be content with this software. Currently ProFolio is free, but the developers behind the software have been saying for as long as I've been aware of ProFolio that at some point in the somewhat near future they will be charging for further downloads. So, I wouldn't drag my feet too long before I gave this one a try.

Well, this one put a smile on my face for the day. The W3C is considering adding a "Not Safe For Work" tag to the HTML5 suite of markup tags which would work in unison with web browsers which would feature an option to automatically hide any of the content within those tags.
