A little here and there

My blog has been acting up the whole of last week – which is why I haven’t been able to post about the other mundane stuff I’ve been up to.

Some geek shit

I had just upgraded the core WordPress engine, and for some reason, my index page won’t display articles. All other pages work though. There was nothing wrong with my code; and I don’t say this arrogantly, but because I tried plugging my code to a default template and it worked flawlessly. (Of course it did… why shouldn’t it? Ok that was a tad arrogant 😉 hehehe.)

Ipod Photo

I finally got my iPod photo a while ago. Initial transfer was a pain even if it was via FireWire.

Some new stuff (aside from photo support of course) that wasn’t present in my 4th-gen. The colored screen is great. It’s like the first time I switched to color with the Nokia phones: at first you don’t think its a big deal, and continue to do so… until you start using a B/W again.

The package was pretty good as it had lots of stuff:

  • AC charger
  • FireWire cable
  • USB cable
  • Belt case
  • Case for the belt case (well at least that’s what I call it)
  • iPod sock
  • Video cable
  • Earphones, software CD, etc. Read More
