I’m not gonna say much about this. If you a true web developer you already know all about it.

Facebook Bug

King Ola — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:15:40 +0000

Catch a glimpse of a small web design bug on Facebook this morning at around 10:10AM:

Unfortunately, it only lasted about 2 minutes. I guess someone mistakenly put the email code in the wrong place.

I Own A Lot Of Domains!

King Ola — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 13:39:28 +0000

Or at least i think so… So as you all know by now my is Olajide Olaolorun, a Nigerian name meaning Wealth Of God, Rise Up. My first domain was http://empirex.net which was a site i ran for years after moving out of my http://tripod.com & http://angelfire.com free apartment… this will take you to my early years of web design and how i got into this whole geeky thing back in 2001. empirex.net was a site about anything, meaning whatever i wanted, i put on there. At one point i think i even plagiarism anime info on there and got contacted by the real author.

My next domain name http://olajideolaolorun.com was registered 7/8/2004, it was my personal space. I love my name and after getting of the kiddy mindset thing with the aliases (which is why i still have empirex on my SourceForge account) i wanted to use my name on my work more. Since olajideolaolorun.com i stocked up on domain names like a dope kid stocking up on Dunks.

Anyways i used to have more than this, but after expiration dates and thinking if i really need them, i shut most of them down by not registering/paying the bills.

As you can see, http://tripleollc.net is up on line for eviction, it only links to tripleo.biz and i even think that at one point i had up to 5 domain names linking to tripleo.biz. Do you know how long i had olajideolaolorun.com with no content on there? not to mention triple.biz with no content but having like 5 domain names link to it?

Moving on, a recent trip to irc://irc.freenode.net/css (CSS Channel on FreeNode IRC) releaved to me that my name was a. too long b. cannot be remembered by anyone (well, unless you Nigerian.) After a few good 24hours, i thought about it and decided to register a new domain name. I didnt know what name to chose, but i knew it had to go with my real name. (Ideas: mynameisola.com, mynameisolajide.com, iamola.com, or iamolajide.com) so i asked a friend and he went with http://iamola.com and within a few minutes, thanks to my favorite domain name dealer, GoDaddy i was able to get a new domain name for less than 8 bucks thanks to a coupon code.

Within the same minute everything was up and running, i changed the nameservers to mine, added it as an addon domain to olajideolaolorun.com, relinked my blog and made a few edits around the site, but in all, everything should be just like 10 minutes ago

Improving

King Ola — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 04:04:39 +0000

As you can see, some changes. Pretty soon, the wallpaper will be random pics from my photography sets (or at least thats what i’m planning, if & when i get that Nikon D80 or D90) Umm, lets see, i installed sIFR 3. Looked around for a good Wordpress plugin to make things easier but couldnt find none that worked correctly. One worked in the Wordpress Admin Panel but not on the live site (WTF?) anyways, i finally decided to just install the real thing and i got it working. I intended on using it for every header on the site, but found it not necessary, so its just on the h1 and h2 tags. Expect some other changes as the week goes by.

Movable Type 4 (Open Source)

King Ola — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:44:40 +0000

While most of you just started in the world of blogging, most that have been here for a while probably used Movable Type when they first started. Writing in perl, it was a big blogging cms back then. It allowed you to run and admin more than 1 blog, unlike Wordpress and some other cool features. Wordpress was the PHP version of it to me back in the days. I remember sticking with Movable Type for a year or 2 later even after everyone started switching to Wordpress because they limited the features on the free version and went commerical (to say.) Well, i just learnt today that Movable Type 4 is out and now Open Source. How cool is that!!! Anyways, i went over to the site and checked out some pages/screenshots. Maybe one day…

weBsite Remix

King Ola — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:09:19 +0000

Hmm, well, i’ve been meaning to change the design from the old two layer style to a 3 layer style, but being the lazy me, i took my time. Anyways, in memory of the 2 layer style:

Now its 3 layer. 2 sidebars and a min content area. Making things much more easier and much more bigger. The new header pic is a picture from the Naija Boiz FC. Expect some more header pics as soon as i get my Nikon D80 (sponsors?).

Please note, this iste is still best viewed under FireFox. IE sucks period! Sorry, but its the truth and am about tired of coding for it.

The New Facebook

King Ola — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:40:27 +0000

Well, the new Facebook is out and getting around it is like learning how to use Facebook all over again. Things have been moved around and so on. I really dont know what to think about it, but for now, i’m gently going back to the old Facebook till they launch it completely. If you are trying to use it, click below:

I think i have that problem whereby i can never get satisfied with anything i do. I have to always improve it and try and make it better, seriously. Umm, well as you can probably see, here i go again messing with this design. Its freaking 4:25AM, my darn mates are sleeping and WTF am i doing? Nyways enough rambling. Damn, am i so phreaking mad i left me camera charger at that darn Orlando Hotel.

PS: The background is one of my saved wallpapers. I have a Collection snitches! lol. Plus yeah, expect some changes on this site. Some remodeling. Moving things around to make more space. Still gotta work on KINGOLA.COM, i have the perfect idea for it but my problem now is the background pic that would make the site
