Well, that’s the plan at least.

Isn’t iPhone wallpaper utterly useless? Where do they use it? The unlock screen… Of course!

stroking 16gb of iPhone goodness…

Ah, the "great" british rail system.

They’re announcing a new Apple TV. How do I know? Because tonight mine died. Failed harddisc. Right on cue. Bravo Steve, or is Evil Steve at the helm these days?

Wondering what apple have up their sleeve… Is it a 12″ ultraportable with multitouch, appletv and 3G?

So it finally happened. Vista x64 begone.

Nothing to see here…

So either Wordpress 2.3 is horribly broken for Safari 3 users, or the WYSIWYG editor is b0rken in general and will (hopefully) soon be bugfixed. Either way I need a new way to post to my blog so have been dabbling with MarsEdit, Ecto (I bought this a while back…) and a Firefox plugin called ScribeFire.

Because of the changes with categories and keywords posts I fired up Ecto and edited some old blog posts. Big mistake… Where originally I had preview text with an expanded post on clickthrough I now only have the preview. Thankfully my intial blogging wasn’t too extensive (or for that matter interesting) so I’m just forging ahead with finding something that plays a little nicer with 2.3 for the time being. One down, two to go.

MarsEdit seems to be a similar deal to Ecto, it’s a standalone Mac app, it edits the posts in markup (so I cheat and write blocks of text then use the Humane Text service to convert my posts to XHTML…. But it feels a little more limited than Ecto and is going to cost me to use until they fix Ecto for 2.3, so I’m shelving it for the time being at least.

As to ScribeFire, well I’m writing this post with it, I guess I’ll see what happens when I click ‘Publish’. Hold me, I’m scared

Edit: So I did some tests with FF and Safari, looks like it IS a Safari bug. Ack. Oh and ScribeFire works, so no more excuses from me…

Pretty handy that WP2.3 drops the week I revive my blog, and thanks to Techtites for reminding me of how simple it is to complete the process via SSH, upgrading was a quick and painless deal.

Just have to repeat the process for Mark, John and Caroline before I can get back to Halo3

Nothing to see here, only testing.

Well, I’m planning to quit the slacking and recommence writing this week, so I’ve redone the site. Let me know if anything is badly broken
