[...] Actually, I’m less curious about sources than I am about founders. Who are the founders of Automattic? Matt, of course. I was fairly sure that Toni was not a founder, since Automattic already existed when he joined. A look through Toni’s archives shows that I was right, and that Andy, Donncha and Ryan were the other founders. [...]

[...] Word is out that Toni is joining us at Automattic. We’ve got a good team at Automattic, and we’re working on some cool and fun stuff. WordPress is our big focus, of course. The vast majority of my time is spent working directly on the open source blog tool we all know and love. For the past several weeks, that involved fixing bugs and getting 2.0 out the door. Currently, I’m fixing bugs in preparation for 2.0.1. I also help out with wordpress.com, Akismet, and other projects, but my focus right now is on WordPress itself. So, I get paid to work full time on WP. Pretty cool. [...]

[...] This isn’t particularly true of my own life this new years – change and new things come according to a season more in tune with the surroundings than the calendar – but this is adage is mostly true for my weblog. Though perhaps a couple weeks late, all of my entries have been safely migrated to a brand new, hi-fi, supercharged hosting and publishing system with all the extra options. Goodbye Movable Type 2.6.3, Hello WordPress. And, I’m not the only one in my neighborhood making the switch. I have to say that I’m incredibly impressed with how far WordPress has come since I first took a look at it 3 years ago. Kudos to all the DHTML ninjas who have been silently contributing to this powerful tool rather than spreading their seed across random public websites seeking visual mojo. Perhaps more significant than the publishing software is also a move to a new hosting service, DreamHost. (I have to thank Ryan for suggestions on both accounts.) Dreamhost makes it really easy to manage multiple hosts and services on your domain, and I plan to take advantage of this to try out new site concepts and ultimately work towards a solution that helps a small creative collaborative journal and expose their work to a wider audience. More on this coming soon. [...]

[...] Agora que o Matt do WordPress trouxe o VP do Yahoo Toni Schneider (ex-Oddpost) para a sua empresa Automattic (que é dona do WordPress.com), tem gente perguntando: quando tempo até o Yahoo comprar o WordPress? Ou melhor ainda, quanto tempo até o Matt tomar conta do Yahoo!? [...]
