As per a conversation in the WordPress IRC Development channel discussing the GSoC project revolving around creating a theme framework.
okay, fine, you guys have convinced me. I’m doing this for GSoC
lol
the NEW kubrick
perhaps you can change the future, and wrong matt on his prediction
he said the future of wordpress themes were blue with rounded corners lol
Pft, since when has Matt been right anyway? ;)
hah
jeffr0: Please quote DD32 on that. :P
If you browse around the Automattic About Page, you’ll notice that Matt Mullenwegs official job title is:
As the Chief BBQ Taste Tester of Automattic, Matt travels the world sampling cuisine and comparing it to the gold standard of Texas BBQ.
Of course this is to be taken tongue in cheek but certainly at the SxSW conference this past weekend, Matt was living up to his job title as Automattic and Conjunctured teamed up to have a Texas style BBQ which over 250 people attended. GirlsInTech stopped by and offered desert in the way of cupcakes.
For pictures of the yummy food, check out Andrew Magers post on the ZDNet blog.
All in all, pretty bummed that I didn’t get the chance to go but considering I’m only 25 years old, I can still say “There is always next year“. If you were lucky enough to attend the event, please let me know how it went in the comments.
While browsing around the archive of WordPress.org, I came across a blog post from 2004 where Matt Mullenweg describes WordPress having multi-blog capabilities. He also mentions at the end of the blog post about how the server has been up and down with a description of a long term solution. So without further adieu.
To make a very long and frustrating story short: there were problems due in part to the recent popularity of WordPress. They should be fixed for now, but a long-term solution is needed. This will probably come in the form of a Server Drive, where we all drive out to the server and kick it until it works.
I’ve created a brand new category on the site called Quotes. I think that quotes sometimes deserve a post of their own and as I come across note worthy quotes from across the WordPress community, I’ll be publishing them here for me to look back on.
By the way, hope Matt still has that sense of humor from 2004.
