PHP jobs

Grou.Ps is offering some positions in their company, in Silicon Valley, for web developers. The news in this, is their innovative way of reaching the possible future employees:

if ( $q1 && $q2 && $q3 && $q4 && $q5 && $q6 ) {
echo “YOU SHOULD <strong>JOIN</strong> US! drop your resume to contact@grou.ps <br />”;
echo “please include some php and javascript code snippets or refer us to an open source project you’ve”;

}

WordPress 2.2

This version is already out for a couple of weeks now, but I’ve waited a little bit before the upgrade. It all went smooth, and nothing got broken. Still, the new widgets management system has confused my old theme, and I’ll have to reconfigure it.

There are some new features, including (quoted) :

  • WordPress Widgets allow you to easily rearrange and customize areas of your weblog (usually sidebars) with drag-and-drop simplicity. This functionality was originally available as a plugin Widgets are now included by default in the core code, significantly cleaned up, and enabled for the default themes.
  • Full Atom support, including updating our Atom feeds to use the 1.0 standard spec and including an implementation of the Atom Publishing API to complement our XML-RPC interface.
  • A new Blogger importer that is able to handle the latest version of Google’s Blogger product and seamlessly import posts and comments without any user interaction beyond entering your login.
  • Infinite comment stream, meaning that on your Edit Comments page when you delete or spam a comment using the AJAX links under each comment it will bring in another comment in the background so you always have 20 items on the page. (I know it sounds geeky, but try it!)
  • We now protect you from activating a plugin or editing a file that will break your blog.
  • Core plugin and filter speed optimizations should make everything feel a bit more snappy and lighter on your server.
  • We’ve added a hook for WYSIWYG support in a future version of Safari.

P.S.: Well, it seems the problems caused by the new widget system caused more damage then I’ve thought.

Note to self: improve the actual theme with time.

Tania Derveaux

My name is Tania Derveaux..
I am the leading NEE party senate candidate in Belgium. And due to popular demand, I will give 40,000 blowjobs to anyone who requests one on this page.

It all starts like that. This girl, in order to acquire some seats for her party in the Belgian senate, is know running a very awkward campaign. She’s posing naked across the country, and opened a forum allowing those who want to, to request a blowjob from her. This is surely spreading their word, making this already commented worldwide.

According to my planning this would take me 500 days to tour around the world, visiting all the ones who signed up for a blowjob on this page, giving 80 blowjobs per day. So the offer is limited, sign up while you still can.

True or not, I cannot be sure, but, if the idea spreads, politics will become much more interesting! If there’s anyone interested, here are the conditions:

  • applicants must be 18yrs old or above;
  • condoms must be used and provided and paid for by the user;
  • the user shall not engage in any other form of physical contact;
  • any attempt to influence the depth of insertion by the user will
    result in immediate end of service;
  • Tania may deny service for hygiene reasons.

A photo of Tania, several actually, can be found on the party’s website (english version available).

Spider-man 3

I’ve just watched the movie, and I have to say that I loved it. It didn’t disappointed me at all, like many trilogies do.

I recommend it to every one who’s into these kind of movies.

Restarting

Well, it seems that the previous theme broke some of my wordpress functionalities, so, I’ve decided to use the good old K2, and customize it myself, as time passes by.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Niath’s new home

It is with great pleasure that I’m announcing to everyone that Niath’s new home is finally ready.

I’ve registered a new domain, tiagoboldt.net, and the blog is now hosted in tiagoboldt.net/blog. I changed the theme a little bit, I’ll write about some of those changes later.

Please tell me what you’ve thought about it!

Enjoy
