The world has lost a visionary and creative genius

October 5, 2011 – 9:29 pm

‎“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” - Steve Jobs (1955-2011)

After resigning from his position as Apple CEO just over two months ago due to complications as a consequence of his pancreatic cancer, it has regrettably come to our attention that Steve jobs has passed away at the age of 56. Responsible for co-founding Apple and bringing it to it’s current status as one of the most successful technology companies in the world, Jobs was a visionary who will be greatly missed.

A Crude WordPress Based Microblogging System

July 1, 2011 – 12:35 am

Those of you who follow our Twitter feed are probably aware of an experimental project we launched last week. The goal of this trial was to determine the ease by which we can repurpose WordPress; a platform allowing bloggers to publish high quality content, into a microblogging site similar to F* My Life and Text From Last Night. The challenge itself isn’t all that difficult if one has basic programming knowledge. However, we wanted to demonstrate just how valuable the extensions created by the WordPress are and thus, placed a restriction on ourselves. To create our target site, we were only allowed to modify code created by other programmers in the WordPress community. As you may have guessed, the project was a complete success and was completed in a little under 2 hours (give or take).
