Get through the cheesy introduction and you’ll get a great hour of Merlin Mann.
“Work out what your voice is then blog the shit out of it”
Yeah, its not film related, but sometimes I need to get my geek on round here.
Edit: Whoops, I better take Merlin’s advice and link to him, so he know’s i love him to death.
But the iPhone WordPress app is fucking awesome.
As i write this, the Sydney Apple store is opening its doors. What better way to celebrate that then to make Fulltime Casual iPhone / iPod Touch ready?
I have a look on the googles and the oldest and most linked to plugin was iPhone-WordPress by Content Robot. I tested it out, but i wasnt really happy with the results. A bit more Google juice gave me Brave New Code’s WPTouch, which is just all kinds of sexy. If you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, check it out now!
To be honest, i only installed the thing because Justin and FixedR6 keep writing damn good posts I want to read, so an iPhone ready version was important.
But it does beg the question, if this shitty little blog can be iPhone ready, then why the hell isn’t The Sydney Morning Herald, News.com.au and the like? More baffling, a year after the iPhone’s release, why aren’t technology blogs like TechCrunch, Engadget or Valleywag iPhone ready? Could it be the obscene amount of ads each of these sites want to push on there readers?
Get your bloody act together kids!
I really can’t be fucked, and I dont see the point.
that is all…
With credit to my big American friend Ted, and his friend Jeff, who i can only assume is also a big American..
I had to install Windows XP under Parallels today. The Virtual Machine needed internet access, which has been hit and miss on previous Parallels installs, atleast for me. So the first thing i did when the install was over was open IE.
Success!
Having established the internet was working, Step 2 of course was to download and install Firefox. So from the MSN Live Search page that was the default home page of IE, i typed “firefox”, and nothing else.
Here is the search result i got back:
WOW! Firefox for only 0.99c a month! What a bargain!
I dont know what this result reflects more, how bad MSN Live Search is, or why that whole Anti-trust trial might have been justified..
Honestly, if you’ve never seen Battlestar Galactica, you might think it’s an embarrassing, hokey sci-fi for virgin geeks. But its more than that.
For the initiated, here’s the new trailer for Season 4. For the uninitiated, call the geek in you life and ask to borrow their DVD’s of the series.
Merlin Mann is a bit of a legend in Mac circles, being the funniest guy on the MacBreak Weekly podcast. His man job though is as a productivity expert. Here is a video he gave at the Google campus last week on getting your inbox down to Zero.
Google Adsense looks at the most commonly used words and search terms of a site and tries to match the ads accordingly.
Sometimes it goes pear shaped, like today, when the two most common terms on my site were Podcast and Beg. See if you can spot the out of place ad…
You gotta love it.
So the other day i was surfing the net looking for podcasts, and somehow ended up on o’reillys site. this was the sexy hunk ‘o man staring back at me.
Note to geeks, switch your fucking computer off every now and then and get some fucking exercise.
Pete.
