Pre-release PimpZilla 4.0

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

An early version of the next incarnation of this glorious theme is available for download @ pimpzilla.nl. (I’ve been trying to upload the pre-release of PimpZilla 4.0 to the official Mozilla site, but it’s too busy over there).

PimpZilla 4.0 is build from the ground up. No cutting & pasting of the old code, it is completely rebuild with the original firefox-code. That’s a lotta work, and i haven’t finished it yet: the new Pimpzilla hasn’t got the same level of excellence as you might had gotten used to, but it is good enough to browse with nonetheless. You can allready see the outline of some very stylish innovations, such as the urlbar and searchbox …

Expect regular updates @ this site!

P.S. Thanx for the donation Caroline and Robert. Support from fans like you inspire me to keep on developing!

PimpZilla for thunderbird

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

I’ve been getting a lot of mail from Pimpzilla-users asking me for a theme for Thunderbird (the emailclient of Mozilla). Though i would love to build one, this isn’t soon to be a reality. Building a full swing-theme takes up a lot of time, time that i can also spend on projects that actually make some money (like building websites) Surely ya’ll can appreciate to need to get paid!

If a paypall sort of thing can offer some doe, then i would be creating pimpzilla spin-offs all the time. What do you think? Would there be a way to collect cash without offending the open-source spirit (which states that everything is forever costless) ?

By the way: pimpzilla 4.0 is in the works

Hello world!

Friday, February 1st, 2008

The first line of a newly learned programming language is often: “Hello world!”. It is also the first line of the new pimpzilla blog, which now uses Wordpress as engine. I needed a new blog, since the old one was covered with spam. I have to say that i completely love Wordpress: it is filled with all the blog-goodies i could ask for. Blogger.com is also very niceĀ  (i tried that one first) but WP offers more options for tweaking. And when you are reading this blog, u probably know that i love to tweak things ;)
