Ming arrived!

An-ti-ci-pa-tion… I’ve been waiting for a bloody week. And today, my precious has arrived! For over a year I have been lusting after the Motorola Ming A1200. The Ming is a quad-band GSM phone, so it works in analog and digital frequencies both here and in Europe. The 2MP camera also doubles as a camcorder. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

After many hours of searching and trying software, I have a unicode text reader/editor called AnyView on my cell phone that is capable of opening the artifact list for epona.net! WHEE!!

Taser, meet iPod. iPod, meet Taser. Isn’t that a natural combination? The concept appears to be that when someone tries to nick your MP3 player, you can shock the idea out of their crack-addled noggin with 50,000 volts. Presumably this particular piece of convergent genius emerged from the same school of thought that maintains America […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I was randomly reading web pages and came acros a site called Photo Basement, a site that contains humourous modern day and historical photos, some times captioned and some times not.

Problem Fixed

by Ceffyl Aedui on May 12th, 2008 at 09:19
Posted In: Geekitude, Tech

I had two problems with WordPress since I updated to 2.5.1 last week: the trackback field disappeared and no one could leave comments on the posts. The issue turned out to be an incomplete upload of the wp-admin/inludes folder. Once I re-uploaded the folder, the trackback field and comments-enabled options re-appeared on the Write New […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Posted In: Geekitude, Tech

WordPress 2.5 has known to be incompatible with some plugins. Unfortunately, this includes the Aniga plugin I used for my gallery. I read reviews on WordPress’ forums and plugin sites: NexGEN Gallery came highly recommended. Fully configurable, many options… sounded great. Now that my photo gallery has been moved over for several months, I’ve discovered […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
