Interview with Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little

The inter­view I did with Matt Mul­len­weg at WordCamp UK in Cardiff last year has finally made it on to WordPress.tv

In it,  Gur­bir Singh of astrotalkuk inter­views Matt and I.  We dis­cuss the his­tory of WordPress,  the open source philo­sophy behind it,  a little about our back­grounds, fame, and… astronomy.

Go watch the inter­view, it’s pretty cool.

WordPress Started Seven Years Ago

Another year has passed for WordPress, and for me my first year as an inde­pend­ent WordPress developer whose sole income comes from WordPress.

It was seven years ago that I made the the com­ment on Matt’s blog that star­ted the whole thing off.

These days WordPress cel­eb­rates its birth­day on May 27th, the anniversary of the first WordPress release.

I’m really look­ing for­ward to the future WordPress, espe­cially the new merged with mu version.

Update: I acci­dent­ally left this post in draft mode, so I guess it didn’t appear at the right time.

Site Down — My fault

Appar­ently this blog was down for two days, and I didn’t notice. :-(

The prob­lem came cour­tesy of a track­ing a trunk check­out of a plu­gin. A change got checked in which broke some func­tion­al­ity I was using, and when I updated I picked up the change and didn’t check my site.

I really should know bet­ter. My only excuse: I have been out of the office for a couple of days and busy work­ing for clients.
