Code Signing Certificate Pain

I’m having a world of trouble trying to prove my Company is real so I can get a Code Signing Certificate.

Since it was created, we’ve moved residence and it’s name has changed. These two events have combined to form an impenetrable logic barrier for the people I’m talking to.

In other news .. Well there’s a bit.

  • Pushed the Ashfield Presy site live last week (http://ashfieldpresbyterian.org.au). Have used the “Office” theme from Revolution Two. Fantastic stuff.
  • Tweaking Oldaer (my new piece of software) functionality
  • Have been going off at work with the Web Systems. Actually, just with work. Today I created and pushed live three builds (two web systems, one desktop update. Can’t explain why the brain is in such a purple patch. Things are clicking.
  • Have come up with a venture for the new year. It’s got to do with my favourite sport, Rugby. That’s all for the moment.
  • Another venture for the new year is .. A Development Help site, of sorts. We’ll see how the planning goes. Suffice to say, I’ve got wiser heads than I helping me out.
  • Lastly, I’m playing WAY too much Sacred 2. This game. If you’ve seen my Tweets, then you’ll get a glimpse into the crazy. It’s fit my gaming brain like a really, really, REALLY comfy glove.

Night night.

Clarion Folklore Podcast #4 Is Live!

“I certainly don’t want to figure out how the .Net component works, or the ActiveX component works .. If I can put a template wrapper in and spend my time focusing on the applications functionality, not the development tool behind it.”

Pressing the Reset Button on the Site Design

It’s time to refresh the site. This current theme has been pretty much this way since conception, with a few alterations and mods along the way.

Back when I just blogged on Dev Dawn, I went through numerous theme changes. Which was fun.

Just this week I booked into the Revolution. Actually, the Revolution 2, Brian Gardner’s brainchild. So now I’ve got a bunch of very cool themes to work with.

I’m not a designer. That’s pretty obvious to any thing with an eye and a brain to interpret the signals transmitted :) So what I like about a package like found in the Revolution 2 offering is that there’s enough diversity in the content to allow me to have choice, AND it’s wordpress, so I know it’s infinitely (for my L-plate skills) moddable.

Another perk, I’m hoping, of the re-design is that it will somehow grant me the ability to write less posts, but more .. potent. We’ll see.

Maybe not less posts, as less pretty much describes the flow of content here lately.
