Daily Llama 3.0
The all new Daily Llama — it’s more flashy, more semantic, and best of all, more purple! While I have nothing against my own creation, Modern-Blue just wasn’t my style. I had been looking into themes that developers could use … 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
WordPress 2.5 was released this month, and it has tons of updates, mostly on the admin pages. It even made the slow blog I have (sometimes taking over a minute to load a single page) faster with the addition of the (already installed on my blog) WP Super Cache plugin.
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 template planned release for WP 2.5
Sir Soybean and I have been working on making this blog’s theme look pretty. What you may not know yet is in three weeks, you’ll be able to use it with your blog! Unfortunately, the template will require WordPress 2.5, so you’ll have to either wait until it is released or download an unstable copy via the subversion repository. But you can, however, download a copy from the LlamaSlayers subversion repository, or a stable release from our Google code project.
Please, if you find out anything wrong with the template or want us to add new features, let us know.
Of course, since WP2.5 hasn’t been released yet, this blog isn’t running on the new version that you can download at the Google code Continue reading

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
School evacuation, Latin jokes, and a blog cleanup
Half the lights flicker and then go out. The little flood lights next to the emergency exit lights flash on and then off. Then they come on again and the fire alarm blares.
This happened today at my school, right after Latin, right before Science. Unfortunately, I was one of the few people who didn’t get a chance to grab a jacket. I stood outside, freezing to death, making jokes about the hallways supposedly being quiet. We saw smoke coming from the windows of the YMCA daycare that’s in the same building as our school. I soon found myself bundled in a yellow plastic blanket with “R”.
An unbelievable amount of time later, a city bus pulled up to the other side of the parking lot. We Continue reading
