  • It’s a real Casio!

    in

    Watches do have a a common problem: the good one’s are quite expensive and you don’t want to scratch them during daily handicrafts.

    Only the “Best Wife in the World” ™ makes such a present for our wedding anniversary: I’m afraid she will force me to watch “Stargate” or “Doktor Who” while drinking this delicious beer. Life can be cruel!

  • Show your desktop

    in ,

    I know loads of WordPress developers by name and have an idea how they look. What I also find interesting is the way people work. Do they use a laptop, how many monitors do they use and other stuf). Here’s my desktop (I’ve tidied it up before taking the image :-)): The machine is an…

    As you can see in the title the new version of pagebar is not version 3.0 that I anticipated to release by this summer. Procrastination at its best! 1.
