  • أصدرت أوبونتو النسخة التجريبية الأولى من نسختها الجديدة 8.10 والي أُطلق عليها اسم Interpid Ibex , النسخة حملت في طياتها العديد من التحديثات الجديدة و كذلك الحلول لكثير من المشاكل التي كانت موجودة في النسخة 8.4 . سنتناول هذه التحديثات بإذن الله.
  • في مدونة اكتشف!, التي أدوّن فيها بطريقة التدوين المُصغّر, أشير بين تدوينة وأخرى إلى أفضل الأيقونات المجانية التي يمكنك استخدامها لاستخدامات شخصية أو تجارية (بحسب اتفاقية الاستخدام من المصدر). كذلك, ثمة الكثير من المصادر على شبكة الإنترنت لتحميل أيقونات مجانية احترافية بمقاسات وأنساق مختلفة. ولكنها فكرة جيدة أن تجرب البحث عن الأيقونات باستخدام محركات بحث متخصصة. والفائدة الأهم في هذا, أنك تضطر أحياناً لتحميل مجموعة كبيرة من الأيقونات في ملف مضغوط فقط لأجل أيقونة واحدة لمشروعك!. وعلى الرغم من أن ثمة حل لهذه المشكلة باستخدام هذه الإضافة لمتصفح فيرفوكس, إلا أن فكرة محركات البحث المتخصصة تستهويني كثيراً وأكتب عنها بين الفترة والأخرى.

  • Readers of this blog will know that I launched my WordPress-powered arcade, Craverz.com back in April. Since then it has been going from strength to strength and I thought it would be a good time to write up part 5, the ‘debrief’ post to the whole project and the last part of the series. I’ll include some stats and some details on where the project is going next.

    So where is the site at right now? Well it’s still very much in beta testing stage, while most of the game-side functionality is complete, it has been very difficult to get the level of user-side functionality that I want. Until I can come up with the right user integration, I’m going to deactivate signups. In all honesty this is a reflection of my lack of coding skills. If I had a budget for this project I’d obviously have hired a developer to work on that part of the site weeks ago. As it stands I just have to go with what’s possible.

  • Welcome to part 4 in this series on building a WordPress flash games arcade. So far I’ve covered the concept and ideas behind the project in part 1, outlined the research and components to build the arcade in part 2, gave you a whole preview of the design process in part 3 and now in part 4, in keeping with my promise, I’m going to show you the beta (more like alpha) version of my little baby :)

    This whole experiment has moved quite quickly, perhaps too quickly to deliver a polished product and sadly that’s not what I can offer with this first iteration of the site. My haste is reflected in the numerous bugs and pending features that you’ll see in the arcade, but that’s all part of the next stage and I’m prepared to take it step by step.

  • Welcome to Part 3 in this series of posts that takes an inside look into the development of my WordPress flash games arcade. If you’re new to this blog and you want to catch up on the series, read part 1 here and part 2 here. In this entry I will outline some of the initial design ideas for my new arcade, including elements of layout, textures and color schemes.

    I should add that as of last night I have a working version up and running and I’ve purchased the domain name for the arcade. I’m planning on launching a closed beta next Monday. It won’t have all the user-side functionality but the core of the site will be working and will allow anonymous users to play all the games. Now on to design matters…

  • Welcome to part 2 in this series of posts on how to build a WordPress games arcade. If you missed Part 1 you can go catch up here. I had a little bit of spare time last night and this morning to start playing around with a default WordPress installation. I used it to evaluate the principal components that I’ll need to build my WordPress flash arcade.

    I’m going to go over my ’shopping list’ with you here but please note that this list is merely suggestive at this stage and by the time my arcade is up and running it will no doubt have evolved, by which point I will have written a ‘debrief’ that takes note of changes and additions.

  • Welcome to the first part in a series of posts that covers the development of an experimental project that attempts to use the popular open source blogging platform, WordPress (WP), as the core for a flash arcade website. As I have mentioned before in a previous post, this is by no means a new concept, there are numerous examples of excellent WP powered games sites out there, Raitendo being one that immediately comes to mind. They are however, still very much a minority, so there’s room for expansion.
