How to Write a Good Developer Tutorial
After a few weeks delving into the intricacies of Xcode I’ve had the good fortune to come across some very well written and helpful tutorials. I did, however, stumble upon some not so good guides. So here for your consumption are a few tips to making a better developer tutorial.
Ultima Online – An Isometric Trip Down Memory Lane
Double click pickaxe. Click ground. Wait. Fail. Double click pickaxe. Click ground. Gather.
For me, this was as addictive and engrosing as it got.
Adding custom post types to WordPress 3
In the latest version of the WordPress blogging platform, the developers have (finally) introduced Custom Post Types, allowing it to become more of a CMS without extensive use of plugins. Unfortunately, after installing the latest version, you’ll probably have noticed that there doesn’t immediatly appear to be any way to create your own. That’s because there is no UI to do this with – doh. The way to do this is to use the recently introducded method register_post_type().
Incase you missed it – WordPress 3.0 released!
Last night WordPress 3.0 was released to the general public. Having previewed it previously on this blog, nothing has really surprised me in terms of what has been updated – but it is still nice to go from release candidate to full version.
Set up is now quicker than ever, so give it a go on your local or dev servers. I would give it a few weeks before upgrading or deploying any live sites however, WordPress updates are notorious for their security leaks.

Whilst working through the several thousand emails I realized “Wow, I have a crap load of spam, I should probably unsubscribe”. Emails from Top Table and Play.com are a devil on my shoulder – ohh look how much we’ve got on offer, come, spend all your money…etc.

If, like me, you use wordpress as a daily tool to design, develop and launch websites, you’ll probably be interested in what the creators over at WordPress are doing with their soon to be released update, version 3.0.
Blog Zero
Oh hey! You look nice, did you get a new haircut, lose weight? You’re looking great… Anyway, lets get to the point of this post – I didn’t like my old human-less blog (which automatically pulled in Diggs, Tweets, Pings, Pongs etc…) and it had little to no actual content of interest.
With this site, there may still be little to no actual content of interest, but at least I’ll have put some effort into the articles, whilst still showing my tweets and other social goodness in the sidebars.
What will you see on this new, revamped sexy blog? Opinions on tech, links to my new podcast (hosted by myself, @glynroberts and @spol), tutorials and the odd music, game or movie review.
So come back in a few weeks and you should have some good reading material for the commute, sick day or lunch break.
