Upgrade Mania
Posted on | June 21, 2009 at 2:13 pm | 3 Comments
Finally got around to upgrading my WordPress installation for this blog from 2.6 to 2.8. I really hated 2.6, and it looks like 2.8 is a lot better, especially in the post composition department. Upgrade was smoother too – I had database problems with the last one. So far it looks to me like the only thing that isn’t working is the Flickr Badge Widget, which doesn’t appear to be compatible with 2.8. So no random photos from my Flickr stream on the main page for now. If you find anything else that’s not working, please let me know. I hope to play around with changing the theme soon, but I don’t know if I can ever get away from Cutline because of the specific way it does images. But that’s another story.
Also upgraded my 1st gen iPhone to OS 3.0. Looks pretty cool so far. It added a “Voice Memos” icon to my home screen and pushed my “Messages” icon to a screen by its lonesome, so that necessitated totally redoing my screen real estate, which is something I needed to do anyway. Glad to see that copy/paste works, though I haven’t played with it much yet.
And since I upgraded to from WordPress 2.6, I could now finally install the upgrade to the WordPress iPhone application. Finally, no more pesky badge on the “App Store” icon!
More reports from the field as I play around more.
Latre.

Mama, don’t let your boys grow up to be bloggers. Or website designers. And especially not software engineers.

I’m up to 4 screens on my iPhone, and I can never get them organized the way I want them. I also never remember to lock it before putting it in my pocket, so often I take it out and find it on a random app, often in some state that took more than one keystroke – it’s kind of funny sometimes. Luckily it hasn’t Tweeted or anything while in my pocket.
I’ve also frequently held an icon to long, got into edit mode, and shuffled my apps around on accident. I guess I’m an iKlutz.
I want to jailbreak my phone again. I want my video recording app, my themes, and my 5 icon doc back! But, I noticed I was having horrible delays when the keyboard would first come up. That’s cleared up since 3.0 and I wonder if it was related to my “unauthorized apps” or the jailbroken firmware itself.
