time to show some wordpress love :)
if you're like me
if you've been blogging back in 2000
if you know the pain of using blogger.com
the web publisher made by evhead before he invented twitter
if you know what greymatter is or who noah grey was
(matt said it was noah who got him into photography!)
(and matt's the creator of wordpress, the guy above)
if you...
went through sleepless nights
just to hack your way into greymatter's cgi madness
finally finding a way to make it work with rss
but one day
you woke up and finally decided that it's time for a change
it's time for something big
so you took a deep breath
and did the 5-min install
and BOOM!!!
you fell in love with wordpress 1.5
you fell so hard
that you made your own theme
and wrote a plugin for wp 1.5 that nobody uses anymore
(but at least it gave me lots of page hits!)
and if you're like me
you're a plugin whore
you installed 100 plugins and activated 33
yes matt, that's me
the one who had the most plugins @ wordcamp hong kong
who never thought this would win her a special wordpress sweatshirt :)
did i also mention that my red wordpress tee was a gift from belle?
but even if you don't have 33 plugins
don't have a red tee
don't have nothing
consider yourself lucky
because you were there
in a giant egg on a sunday morning
you attended the first wordcamp in hong kong
you had a chance to meet the matt mullenweg
and you know your blog is better
because it's run on wordpress
whichever version it is
and you love it :)
hello matt, we love you :) but we love wordpress better!!! (dave on the left, who came because i told him to, won the coolest photo of the day award and won 2 tickets to Cirque du soleil!!!! dave you know what to do!)
wendy & me with the wordpress banner designed by jay :)
guess what, matt said he likes wendy's choker and called himself a "fashion person"!!!
this very well explains why i have 33 wordpress plugins =)
wendy, dave and me the plugin girl with our wordpress logo tattoos!
my vaio with a letter "W"! haha...there were loads of wordpress schwags...tattoos, badges, stickers, pencils, hopefully enough for everyone. matt on bottom right.
twittering with my vaio while matt was speaking ;)
slides from matt's speech, "State of the Word"!

Wow, he said that? I'm deeply honored, then. He's an amazing guy.

So when is Barcamp Hong Kong 2009 going to take place? I can't find any information on that on the official homepage.
Thanks for your mention Ryanne! I was worried that the shirt maybe too small ... but it's definitely a perfect fit as seen in the pics! :D
When would you write another WordPress plugin?
