Wordpress 2.7 and I’m Loving It
Posted in: Fun, General, Movies, Music, Work, me 20 Comments
As the title says it all. I’m obsessed with Wordpress more after the launch of 2.7. The new Admin UI and features are just great. What I like the most in new Wordpress is the updation of plugins & Wordpress. This will probably be the last time I upgraded my blog manually. Now whenever Wordpress have updates to install, I’m just two-click away 
– awesome. Wanna know more about the new Wordpress 2.7, click here.
Oh yes, I’m alive 
. Damn, I haven’t updated my blog since ages. Okay there is so much to tell and write about so here I go:
Work:
- Teabreak v2.0
Didn’t do much on this version, just a helping hand with Shahzad - SOCH ‘08
Got this project from batty. I liked the cause and it was great working with Rumaisa Reem and Kiran Nazish, specially Rumaisa. I hope I did justice to this project in such a short timeline. - Learning jQuery
On a very beginner stage rite now. - WAP/Mobile websites
Did a basic WAP project at office (can’t share the link here). The optimization for mobiles take hell loads of time
. But its again a good experience for me – learned something. Oh btw, my blog is now mobile friendly . - My website
Yeah I’m working on my website . Hopefully, it will be launched by end of Jan 2009
Blogging:
Many of my friend have started blogging. Adil Siddiq is one of them, my really good friend, do check his blog http://adilsiddiq.wordpress.com and also Ali Hamza’s blog
Movies:
I’m now regularly watching movies, downloading from torrent, watching in Cinema or at Adil’s place . Recently watched these movies
- Batman – The Dark Knight (awesome movie)
- Dostana
- Golmaal Returns
- My Sassy Girl (nice movie)
- Never Back Down
- Hellboy II
- Hancock
- Keith
- Kung Fu Panda (good movie)
- Madagascar 2 (I like to move it, move it )
- Rock On!!! (good movie)
- The Secret (very nice documentary – recommended by Sundus, my colleague)
- Wall E (good movie)
Flickr Meetup:
Went to Mubarak Village with Photo Club Karachi (PCK) Flickr Group on 02 Nov 08. Did some photography there. Now I seriously need a good camera . Planning to go on next meetup which will be held this month
Music:
Listening to these albums and singles now a days
- Noori’s new single Do Dil
- Nickelback’s album Darkhorse
- Dido’s album Safe Trip Home
- David Cook’s singles and covers
- David Archuleta’s singles and covers
- Linkin Park’s Road to Revolution Concert and album Songs From The Underground
That’s it from myside. Take good care of urself
Love and Peace,
ZA

@SupersizeMe : yaar! common.. u will gonna love it for sure
its just that simple..
about thumbnails: u can see some thumbnails coming from my flickr account on the sidebar (top right)
i just select few of them, copy and paste it to my WP post editor in HTML mode
waise have u tried Media Library and Add Image option in Wordpress post? may be that could help you!

… sigh.. i’ll try!
i dont understand all this html stuff, i’m in finance not IT!
it used to be so easy, it was defaulted that way, this new system is complex when it comes to image uploading.
