Mr. Deity shows what can be achieved with a static camera, a simple script, minimalist set design and great acting. Episode 5 was released yesterday. By releasing an episode every 2 weeks the producers hope to garner enough interest to turn it into a full TV series. It’s funny, and although it’s based on [...]]]> http://boakes.org/mrdeity/feed/ http://boakes.org/santa-google-earth/ http://boakes.org/santa-google-earth/#comments Wed, 20 Dec 2006 21:34:49 +0000 Rich google earth santa rudolph reindeer father christmas xmas http://boakes.org/santa-google-earth/ Warning: apache_lookup_uri() [function.apache-lookup-uri]: Unable to include '/pics/2006/santa/santa' - error finding URI in /home/www/boakes.org/htdocs/mods/plugins/boakes-depicticon.php on line 65
Sometimes nice things come back and surprise you.

I am a consumer. Buy my undivided attention. Exclusivity guaranteed. Bids start at just €0.01 per day. Web advertising is dying. Banners, pop-ups, pop-unders, text ads and video ads; all dead horses.

The plugin system on BBPress is still rather rudimentary (you create a folder called “my-plugins”) and any php that exists therein is considered to be an activated plugin.
