So everything is supposed ot be easy with a Mac. Everything is supposed to just “work”. Well it’s not always that case. If you’ve ever tried to synchronise your contacts with your phone on a Mac, you’ve probably run into the fact that it aint always easy. My phone broke recently (it didn’t just “work” either), so when I got a loaner until the new one arrived, I needed to get my contacts onto it. I was loaned a Nokia 6120 Classic. This solved my syncing problems.
word.
I wish I wasn’t so crap at CSS so I could spiffy up scrambledminds. I wish I wasn’t so lazy as to not learn.
So Wordpress 2.5 has been released. It seems pretty slick and the new management interface is much nicer and more functional before. Check out the details here.
I’ve also managed to start putting my photos over on Flickr. It’s all going well and I’m getting them on scrambledminds.com by using the Slickr Gallery and Shutter Reloaded (a Lightbox variant) plugins. Quite a few people think that Slickr/lightbox is slow but I think it’s worth it for single or small sets of photos. For larger sets I just hard link to the slideshow url on Flickr.
So, apart from the odd post, you can see it’s been pretty quiet on scrambledminds for some time. Boringly so. Thanks to those that think that even when there are posts that it isn’t boring as batshit (Julie). So it’s time to get my act into gear and get some more gear up here. And I will, when I’m finished revamping the site. This involves me learning how to make it look snazzy so it may take some time!
So I’ve taken the plunge after a number of years contemplating it… I’ve bought a Mac. I thought that I’d bite the bullet and get into some computer technology where I can generate content rather than piss-fart around tring to get software or hardware working. Well, that’s the desire anyway. I ended up getting one of the new iMacs and it’s a treat so far. I’ve had a few little hiccups in just attempting something while being classically conditioned for the Microsoft Windows world but it’s actually fading pretty quickly. Anyway, these are pretty (quite) pretty machines.
