  • Auto Switch for Android / iPhone

    Let’s hope this theme works for iPad to – assuming it also returns the user agent as “Mobile Safari”.

    [The] iPhone optimized Magento theme will be available in the next few days via Magento Connect. Additionally, as part of the upcoming 1.1 release, automatic detection and delivery of packages, theme(s) (templates, skins, css, layouts) based on the user-agent (client) may be associated on a global, website and store view.

    Configuration in Magento couldn’t be much simpler:

    UPDATE: Use “Mobile Safari|iPhone|iPod”. Also you don’t need to enter the exception against each of the ‘skin’, ‘layout’ templates’ etc parts, just add an exception next to the ‘default’ theme. Finally, the fields for ‘Matched expression’ and ‘value’ are case sensitive and do not require quotes around them. Enter each exactly as shown here (for iphone); Matched expression; iPhone Value iphone The theme is called ‘iphone’ in lower case so the value must match this exactly. Maybe not so simples after all!

  • Lies and stats

    Among all the staggering stats, perhaps the lowest is the number of websites at 236 million I think – not sure as they fly past at quite a rate and I’m a bit dyslexic.

    The animation was done entirely using 3Ds Max and V-Ray render and took about 10 days to complete. Professionally done 3D visualization is the perfect tool to present concepts or new products in a beautiful, photoreal style, while creating a mood with music and conveying a message, through on-screen text or narration.

The idea was to show a glimpse into the history of this product giant by modeling some of the innovative products theyve developed in their 3+ decade history.

  • Crunchy spanicopita

    I hate it when I make this and it always emerges soggy from the oven, so today I decided to prebake the base and cook the egg to the point of very loose scrambled egg before filling the pie. Other ingredients: feta cheese, spinach prefried in garlic, cinnamon or nutmeg. And of course butter/olive oil between sheets. Works great – just waiting for it to cool now!

    When I see this behaviour from a mature microsoft product I wonder if there is not a degree of internal sabotage, such is the appearence of this foot shooting:

    You’d have thought at least they’d have the decency to place me in the recipient’s spam folder and let them decide?
