Using WordPress as a CMS

This article is currently on the WordPress admin dashboard, so people who obsessively check their WordPress admin page will have seen it already. But, it’s worth pointing to the article again as it outlines some things to consider when using WordPress as a CMS. I’m still a pretty hardcore Drupal guy – I use... »

fracking ipod

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

oh, COME ON! almost 4 hours to sync my iPod Touch with iTunes this evening. It finally finishes, and I go to run the WordPress app. BOOM. Hard crash. And now it won’t boot. FRACK. Now I’m going to have to do the hard reset again. I’ll let it chew overnight. REALLY unimpressed by... »

flickr interestingness

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

flickr’s interestingness ranking has always been fickle and unpredictable, but I just took a look at a bunch of the photos in the current “7 days” interestingness section, and it’s just confusing how some of the photos get in there. I suppose networking and gaming has a lot to do with it, but they... »

wordpress

I was at Good Earth this morning, grabbing my usual High Test Light Roast with Pumpkin Spice Muffin, when one of the great barristas asked me about my WordPress shirt. “What’s WordPress?” she asks. Before I can even begin to respond, the other barrista jumps in “oh! it’s a cool blogging site!” and she... »

Done. Backing up.

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

My iPod is finally and properly restored. It’s been synched and backed up, and now I’m running Time Machine to backup my laptop as well. It had been a couple of months since I’d been able to run a full backup of the laptop – far too long, considering the number of photographs that... »

Almost done…

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Oy. Almost done. I think I have most of my apps, but lost much of the app-specific data. I’ll sync again when it’s done so I have a more current backup. Hopefully my contacts and calendars didn’t get cracked up with all of this crap… »

sorry, Apple, but the iPod Touch 2.0 software is just the flakiest piece of shyte I’ve used in a long time. crashy. laggy. unresponsive. I’ve spent the last 3 hours restoring my iPod, and it’s still not anywhere near where it was before things went south. Piece. Of. Shyte. Not cool. »

restoring from backup

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

it’s now (finally) restoring from backup. from a snapshot stored 12 days ago. I’d been really bad about syncing to my computer because it takes so FRACKING long to sync with apps now. I sure hope I haven’t lost any of the apps I bought directly on the iPod. I don’t think there was... »

restoring iPod

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

My iPod Touch was a complete brick. I plugged it in to the USB cable, and Aperture fired up, so at least it was recognizing the disk. But it wasn’t booting. It wouldn’t load enough to talk to iTunes. Had to force the iPod into Restore Mode (hold both buttons until it shuts off,... »

iPod Touch now bricked?

iPod Touch now bricked?

The App Store just said that Scrabble had an update. I said “sure. update that sucker.” After it was done, the iPod crashed. Now, it won’t boot up. Just the black screen with the shiny Apple logo. It’s a nice logo and all, but please frack off and give me my iPod back. I’ll... »
