My Life Story
The Legend of Sir Soybean is being written, and it turns out I’m just a figment of someone’s imagination! How sad! Excerpt from the translated diary of Sar Sobrun, page 51,382 I have been spying on the humans again. I … Continue reading

A new tradition: LlamaSlayers computer utility day
Starting today, the fifth of every month will be “LlamaSlayers computer utility day”. Join if you want, basically all you have to do is complete any or all of the tasks from the following list. After each task listed, there will be notes telling you how to do the task and why the task is important. Some of these tasks are for Windows computers (I don’t have a Mac or Linux computer so I can’t say anything to do for them, you’ll have to look elsewhere), some for WordPress blogs, and others for general things to do around computers on the fifth of every month.
Of course, you don’t have to do any of these, they’re just suggestions. And the fifth of every month is just a random date that popped into my head. You can celebrate your own computer utility day on any day you want. Continue reading
March End-of-the-Month Wrap Up
Today marks the end of March, and the start of April. March had some amazing things happen in it this year, and here’s the post where I get to tell you about them.
WordPress

RuneScape
Jagex fixed up summoning. This might not be big news for you non-RuneScapers out there, but this is one of the best updates of the year. Amongst the top features of this update are the ability to gain experience from combat done by your summoned familiars, a longer amount Continue reading

Modern Blue WordPress theme 2.0-beta 1 released
As you probably already know, Nightgunner5 and I are working on creating a WordPress theme called Modern Blue. With WordPress 2.5 just around the corner, we’ve decided to tell everyone how they can help.
You can now download Modern Blue 2.0-beta 1. Click one of the links below, extract the contents of the archive, and put it in your wp-content/themes folder. If you find any bugs, please file a bug report here.
Prologue
We’re fans of Twitter around here, in fact many Automatticians have accounts, but while the format appealed to us it really just whetted our appetite for something more, like a way for each of us to share short messages about what we’re doing or working on internally, or private messages between groups of folks.
Automattician Matt Mullenweg wrote this in the WordPress.com blog, two days before Joseph Scott announced big updates to Prologue. I’ve been using prologue for a few days now, along with Nightgunner5, and we’ve liked it quite a lot. We have two prologues, one is in a secret place on a private server, and the other can be found at llamaslayers.wordpress.com.
With Prologue, you answer a simple question Continue reading
