diet plateau, fatblogging, widget, wordpress
,
Although I managed to shed almost 40 pounds before hitting a plateau, it appears to be Mesa City this week. Of course, the way to get to the downslope on the other side is to get more exercise, but time has been short lately. Time to bust out the bike.
Like the graph to the right? It’s entirely done within Wordpress, using Pasi Matilainen’s Simple Graph plugin. The text block under the graph is automagically generated using the plugin’s database entries and PHP. I used to do something similar using EditGrid, but this solution works better and doesn’t rely on the availability of a third party site.

CrystalX, themes, wordpress
,
I haven’t been posting for a while, but I’m still around. I’ve been coding the theme you now see on this site. It started as a port of CrystalX, a free CSS theme by Nuvio, and went from there. Should validate as XHTML 1.0 Transitional and CSS 2. Some features include:
- Fully functional breadcrumb navigation (no plugin required).
- Famfamfam’s Silk icon set, with changing icons in breadcrumb.
- Built-in support for Christine’s Ultimate Tag Warrior, Alex’s Share This and Binary Bonsai’s version of Dunstan’s Time Since plugins. These are not required, but the theme looks to see if they are installed. If UTW is found, it hides categories and the category archive tab.
A little more bug testing and I’ll do a public release. It will come in a variety of color schemes.

The 50 Most Important People on the Web. Other than ranking Steve Jobs an absurdly high #2, the list seems OK. And Matt is higher than Scoble!

This blog used to be at www.ochsenhirt.com, but if you go there now, you just get an empty directory listing. Seems the domain expired in August 2006, and I never got the notice from Dotster because they were using my defunct Hotmail account. Now it’s owned by an outfit allegedly in Gibraltar. Go on a blogging hiatus, lose your domain. I could offer to buy it back, but why?
So if you’re looking for any of the old stuff, most of it is now here. Even the really old stuff.
