My replacement computer arrived the other day. The screen isn’t prefect, but it is much better. I’m going to use it as is and consider having the display replaced at a later time, but I am more than happy with my shiny new 2′ iMac.
As promised, I started work on Dark Intentions 1.4. Its coming along nicely. I need to add some buttons, iron a few areas and insert all the little niceties. We should see a release some time this week. I’m serious this time. I’m also happy to tell you that I intend to provide an enhanced version sometime down the line. It will be easier to customize, and may even integrate in to your K2/WordPress site. We’ll see how it goes.
As some of you are painfully aware (due to my lack of progress on a few projects) I’m in the process of getting a new computer. I had been using a MacBook as a desktop replacement, but I was starting to feel the lousy integrated graphics, the slow 2.5″ HD and the overall irritation of running a notebook in clamshell mode.
So last Sunday I followed the advice of many veteran Mac users and pulled up the Apple refurbished section. Its stocked with nearly everything in the regular store at a great discount. For the savings you give up the gorgeous retail boxes (refurbs ship in a plain brown box). That’s it, really. The product may have been taken home by another customer, but has since been returned to Apple and reconditioned. This process involves replacement of any internal parts, if necessary, and a thorough cleaning or case replacement. Refurbs arrive in perfect cosmetic condition with no scratches, scuffs or imperfections with brand new keyboards, mice and accessories. They have same warranty as new Macs and are generally better inspected than new machines. Mine apparently fell through the cracks.
I’ve received a lot of questions about my Dark Intentions theme for MyBB. To answer everyone’s questions, yes, there will be a release for 1.4. I’ve been working on a few other projects, but we should see a new version within a week. I’ve got some special things planned for this release, so hold on tight.
If you have any suggestions for new themes that I’ll be working on after Dark Intentions, please email me or comment. Also, I’ve received a number of inquiries about custom themes. I do write custom themes at a reasonable price, please email me if you’d like a quote or sample of custom work I’ve done. Also look out for a new MyBB section coming to quacktacular.net soon with more information on free and custom themes.
Update: Sorry for the delay guys, I haven’t forgotten about you. I’m waiting for my aluminum iMac arrive so I can get this done (using my iMac G4 now, doesn’t really cut it for development).
You’ll notice the site looks a little funny right now. There are a few complications related to the WordPress 2.6 and K2 RC7 updates that I’ll work through in short order. Sorry for the trouble.
UPDATE: Downloads and everything less the photography section are working again. I’m planning something different there anyway.
