Introducting Tweepee, a total rip-off

Screen shot

A total rip-off in innovation

Introducing Tweepee, a Wordpress theme that is a total Tweetie rip-off. Like most human beings on this planet, I have been so impressed by the Tweetie interface that using anything else feels futile and outright prehistoric.

What began as a “Hey I wonder if I can do that?” turned in to late night lay-awake obsessions which turned into “Lemme jus’ see if I can…” which tuned into “I’ve got to make it exact.” So here’s the final product. I spent entirely too many evenings ignoring my wife on this, so I’m glad it’s finally done.

features

  • It’s chock full of jQuery AJAX-imations
  • Beautified by CSS3
  • jQueryUI comment box
  • Plays nicely with the Infinite Scroll plugin
  • Familiar UI (for Tweetie users)
  • Tested on Mozilla and Webkit
  • BlueprintCSS Grid Built-In – Use columns for on-the-fly in-post stylings.

This is really cool! Olivia Benson of Law and Order: SVU once said, “great artist are the ones who use other people’s art. . .” or something like that. You know Pablo Picaso once said. . .good artist create, great artist copy them or something. I am not sure the EXACT quote, but you get my drift.

About

Hello, I'm dave rupert

beforeafter

I've done the unthinkable. The unbelievable. I started a blog in the year 2009. I might as well have started a dinosaur. If it's any consolation, I've been making websites since I was 14 (15 years now! wow!) and I had blog at the now defunct wimpkiller.com that I posted on for over 5 years!

I'm 29. I live in Austin, TX with my beautiful and hilarious wife. I have cat that she named "Moogs", he looks like a cow. I'm training him to be a dog. I'm the Lead Web Developer for Paravel, who sole purpose is to make radical waves on the internet.

I play guitar and a wide array of other instruments.  I speak japanese.  I can't run very far.  I contribute to the Earth scorching music blog Austin Town Hall from time to time and I drive a Scion XB - I know it says a lot about me, but I'll bear every criticism because it's a good square car. I spend most of my days on the computer soaking in the beta radiation, and then my evenings on the couch watching Law & Order with my wife on my Roku.

Yup. That about sums me up.

about this theme

This blog is built on Wordpress and this is a custom theme I wrote to replicate the functionality of the popular desktop Twitter app by AteBits, Tweetie for Mac. The icons are mostly from Glyphish.
