I have just updated this site to WordPress 2.7. So far it seems to be pretty good. The new dashboard is really growing on me, and I love how it has the “Right Now” section showing some stats like how many posts, pages, comments, and spam.

There is also this new thing called QuickPress which allows you to quickly add a new post without having to go to the full new post page. It’s pretty handy.

Now, I just hope that the team over at Automattic release an update to their WordPress app for the iPhone that interacts with WordPress alot more rather then allowing you to make a post. It would be good to be able to moderate comments and spam, upload photos to your blog, etc.

If you are yet to update to 2.7, then go and do it. It’s worth it. If you have already updated, what do you think of it?

Hey look, it’s a post!!!

Yes, this is a blog post. I’m still alive and haven’t fallen of the fact of the Earth. Over the last day or so, I’ve been thinking about how this blog has been going to waste, so I’ve decided, over time, that I’m going to start to implementing some new things here. I’m not sure what, but something. Any ideas, would be great, but so far I’m liking the flow that Ben has.

I have a few sites that I’v signed up with like flickr, twitter, etc, that I don’t really use that much, so I’m planing on starting to use these services more, and possible try to integrate them here.

In other news, I’m now the proud owner of a Nokia N95 8GB. So far this is a great phone, and I’m loving what it can do, especially the inbuilt GPS and Wi-fi.

Restarting… New blog in 3… 2… 1…

Ah, here we go.

First of all, I’d like to apologise for anyone that has come here looking for something specific. The old database for my blog has started to get a tonne of errors, so I decided it was time to start fresh. The old database has lasted since day one when I started this site, and has seen 3 different servers in it’s time.

I’m planning on going through a backup of my database and collecting some of my more usefull posts and adding them back into this blog, as well, as a few visual changes, but for now we will have to live with what’s here for now.
