Wow, hasn’t time flown since I last posted. And still the world is turning… Did you miss me? Of course you didn’t

I recently got an email from Tim Zylinski who has updated his German translation files for my themes:

• Chameleon: http://www.zyblog.de/data/chameleon-de_DE.zip
• Ebony: http://www.zyblog.de/data/ebony-de_DE.zip
• WP-Andreas06: http://www.zyblog.de/data/wp-andreas06-de_DE.zip
• WP-Andreas09: http://www.zyblog.de/data/wp-andreas09-de_DE.zip
• WP-Multiplex 3: http://www.zyblog.de/data/wp-multiflex-3-de_DE.zip

While he was at it he also tested all the themes in WordPress 2.5 and they are all compatible.  Tim has kindly taken the time to enter them in the WP 2.5  compatibility list.

Thanks Tim. What a great guy!

I was speaking to Sean the other day and he mentioned that his local park doesn’t allow dogs even on a leash. Locally around here there are signs warning about £1000 fines if you don’t clean up after your dog. It seems that people aren’t that keen on dogs and their mess!

It may seem unrelated but I went out for a run today. Yes I do that to try and keep fit! No I didn’t see loads of dog faeces but I did see loads of litter. I passed tons of the stuff. There were discarded McDonalds cups and bags, plastic bags full of litter, Christmas crackers, lumps of polystyrene, and even old clothing. All this was along the side of the road in the grass verge looking like it had been discarded from the passing cars.

Now I know dog poo isn’t nice, nobody wants to stand in it, it shouldn’t be left in the middle of the pavement, and you should clean it up, but at least it is biodegradable and won’t be here in a few weeks never mind the hundreds of years some of the other litter will be with us for.

It’s a shame the same effort that has been put in to the dog mess problem hasn’t been put into the litter problem!

Nobody seems to care as long as they don’t step in it!

Hello and a happy but late New Year to you all. Let’s hope that 2008 is a good year for everybody, everywhere.

I’m busy studying for yet another exam that I shall be taking in a few days! Only 1 more after this one so the end is in sight. There’s a bit of light at the end of the tunnel at last.

Once my exams are out of the way I have been thinking about changing direction here at Webgazette.co.uk. When I first started this website I intended it to be about other websites - a sort of "best of the web" type thing. Now I am thinking of going back to that.

I wouldn’t remove any of the existing content but I may rearrange it a bit.

What do you think? Has anybody got any thought or comments on this?

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or whatever you do.

Now stop being boring and go party
