WordPress jQuery conflict solved

Posted by admin in Asides, Web design & development on June 12th, 2010

After several hours of thinking I’m being a idiot (happens occasionally) I discovered that sometimes you’ll need to call

<?php wp_head(); ?>

before any jQuery scripts (or concatenated scripts in my case).

It’s been hours and I couldn’t figure out why none of the Carousel scripts I was trying today wanted to work – while all other scripts and plugins carried on just fine.

And yes – I am calling already trying to prevent jQuery conflicts with

<?php wp_enqueue_script("jquery"); ?>

So if your carousel (or other) scripts don’t want to work – try shaking up your head.

Many thanks Mr Mullenweg. Now I know TopGear have moved to WordPress and have some more homework to do re 2008′s design trends.

And Mr Stobist — thanks for introducing me to the work of a great modern photographer (modern with a small M) and reintroducing me to Wired.

Finally some ornamental inspiration via BrandSpankingNew.

Back to work…

iPod running scared…

Posted by admin in Asides, Music, Technology on October 4th, 2007

Not really. Currently there’s stuff all over the place about the bad closed Apple. I am sympathetic. Mmm. I wish for more interoperability in my iPod. And features too. To be able to sync one iPod with laptop AND desktop. Essentially the laptop should be a nano extension but with acces to all playlists. That would be just great. My journeys to and from Marbella are long and provide the opportunity to listen to lots of stuff. I’d like to be able to modify my playlists based on this. Sadly – the only place I can modify playlists right now is in Marbella. I’m in Cadiz province. Up a mountain.

Anyhows. Highlight right now is Ricardo Villalobos great textural stuff to work too. Last night – well I can’t remember what I listened to last night – Damn. I least I tagged a few with gold stars.
