WordPress and fonts.googleapis.com

As some of you know, i use WordPress for my webpage. By coincidence i stumbled across the fact that WordPress now phones home to Google by default since the new version, to load a webfont. They have implemented a call to fonts.googleapis.com in the webpage somewhere. So everytime somebody calls my webpage, then Google counts this call too.

This is really nasty from WordPress! And my sympathy for WordPress has sunken quite a bit. My webpage is my property. And not an advertising or user counting platform for Google. Such things makes me really angry.

There is fortunately already a plugin avaliable that disables the calls to fonts.googleapis.com. It’s called Disable Google Fonts. And can be found in the WordPress Plugins. I have installed this plugin now. Fingers crossed that this prevents any further calls to fonts.googleapis.com.

I use a standard font anyways. And everything still looks normal to me. I hope that it doesn’t look too bad for others now.

Alister Beta Version 0.9.1.1006

The next beta is here. This version comes with over 80 bugfixes. Beware, Beta! 😉

You can find more informations in the Games section, In Development, Alister.

I have as promised removed the old alpha versions. Please update your links in case you have linked to them.

New Sound Effects – Sound FX Alister

Cleaning up a bit. There will most probably not be new sound effects for Alister. So time to publish them. it`s just the effects. Nothing spoken. But nevertheless 108 samples of various content.

Can be found in Sound FX

One word to the content linkers. I will remove the old alpha versions from my server when the next Beta version arrives. They will not longer be available then. Those were developer snapshots. No need to keep them.

I am not sure when this new Beta version will arrive. This depends of the bugs. The more to fix the longer it will take. But i guess that it may happen in three or four weeks. Maybe earlier, maybe later. And i wanted to warn early enough 🙂

Alister Beta Version 0.9.0.982

Another milestone is reached. Alister is finally feature complete. The biggest changings is the four new levels. Goat Valley, Ice Cave, Mountain Peak and The Market. But there are also quite a few other small changings and fixes.

You can find more informations in the Games section, In Development, Alister.

Beware, Beta! 😉
