iPhone WordPress App

Posted by LL Cool C | Posted in apple, Technology | Posted on 22-07-2008

Now I have not tried this out yet, but there is a new app out for the iPhone that allows you to update you WordPress blog from your iPhone.

Here is what it is described as:
“Robust but simple to use, the WordPress for iPhone Open Source application allows you to create and edit content on your WordPress blog(s) with support for offline use.”

I am really interested to test this out as I was a little jealous of the Typepad folks who had an app.  Has anyone tried it out yet?

GoDaddy .me domain debacle

Posted by LL Cool C | Posted in Fail, Technology | Posted on 17-07-2008

GoDaddy released the .me domain extension to purchase at 11am ET today.  So far it has been a big fail for them.  I was the proud owner of the.me for a total of 1 hour and 6 minutes before I got an email from GoDaddy letting me know that I am not the owner anymore.  According to a Mashable post, on Twitter there are about 7 or 8 owners of aweso.me.  It might be a while before this is all figured out, so it will be interesting to see what GoDaddy does instead of here is a refund, sorry.  I already had a whole business plan in place.

I am all excited when I get this email:

One hour and six minutes later I am sad because I get this:

Did anyone else run into this?  Have you received anymore information from GoDaddy about what is going on?

Top 10 things to do while your iPhone 3G is bricked.

Posted by LL Cool C | Posted in apple, Technology | Posted on 12-07-2008

You’ve got that fingerprinted shiny new iPhone 3G and you are all ready to do everything “Twice as Fast,” except that you are stuck trying to activate it.  So now your phone is doing nothing as you wait around.  Here are some things to do with it while you are waiting.

  1. Use it as a see-saw for your fingers.
  2. Polish the back to get the fingerprints off.
  3. Check out the new app store on your original iPhone you gave to your wife.  Oh wait, it is bricked too.
  4. Talk to someone in person.  I know, weird huh?
  5. Tell your friends that despite what they have witness so far, it is an awesome phone and worth the wait.
  6. Listen to music on your 3rd Generation (3G) iPod.
  7. Write a blog post about how mad you are about your iPhone 3G not activating.
  8. Polish the back to get the fingerprints off.
  9. Ask someone with a Samsung Instinct for directions using their GPS.
  10. Read reviews of how awesome it is on your computer.

Can twitter break more often?

Posted by LL Cool C | Posted in Technology | Posted on 30-06-2008

So today I want to send out some tweets via twitter. Sorry, site down.  So I wait.  I come back an hour later,  sorry, site down again.  I’m not a twitter fiend like some are.  I can go without, but when I wanted to tweet where was it?

Poor Analogy time: Last summer I always went to this snow cone stand.  It had the greatest snow cones.  The hours of service were from 2pm to 11pm daily.  A couple times I went at 9pm and they were closed.  What did I do.  I stopped going.  I couldn’t rely on it when I wanted it most.

Is that what is coming next for twitter.  Are people going to get too tired of it not working that they will stop posting.  I think that will be the case for some.  This guy included.  Will that affect twitter.  I don’t think they will mind the downturn in users temporarily while they get their servers in order.  Then when they are more reliable people will come back.  Maybe even this guy.
