Wordpress 2.7 Upgrade

I have upgraded to Wordpress 2.7 and I must say that I am speechless about the new dashboard. It looks really fancy!

New PC

I got my new PC yesterday:

• Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 3Ghz 45nm.
• XFX 8800GT 512Mb
• 2Gb ram (for the time being)

About to install linux now

Moved to another host

I’ve just moved to a new host. Things seem to run fine!

Annoying Software

After reading Leonid’s blog entry on annoying software I decided to put down my own list. So here it goes

• Kwrite
  Lack of tabs
• Gedit
  Lack of ability to shrink a block of code into a one liner. Kwrite has this feature.
• Firefox 2.x
  What bothers me most about Firefox 2.x is that box with “Remember your password” popup box. I’m glad they changed it in Firefox 3
• Firefox 3.x
  This could be only me, but the new URL drop down box looks quite messy and It can take me ages to find the URL I need. The drop down menu seems to put emphasis on the title of the page, rather than the URL itself. I’m just so not used to this.
• Intel Graphics Linux Drivers
  For just being worse than the Windows ones. (Not really a tool, but I just had to mention it)
• Pidgin ICQ support
  I don’t use ICQ now a lot, but every now and then I have to login and chat to my dad. I’ve got a huge contact list and don’t want everyone to see me online. I do know that there is an “Invisible” option, but that’s just not enough for me. I really enjoy using QIP for Windows because it has a very good manager for your online statuses (like my favourite “Show as offline for all”)
• Roundcube
  Roundcube is a web-based e-mail client. I like it for it’s simplicity and looks, but it’s Javascript doesn’t work very well. As one of the things that really annoyes me is when you type a huge letter, hit Send and get a popup message saying “Are you sure you want to send an empty email?“. Not amuzing.
  Update: I’m not using the most recent version as it turned out. Will check it out and hope that this bug is not there.

This seems to be it as I cannot come up with anything else.

Blog update

Just finished upgrading my really old 2.2.something version of wordpress. Everything went nice and smooth. Good job, wordpress community!

Edit: I’m still looking for a new style..

Keep your teeth clean

I had an arranged visit to a dentist today. Result – 2 new fillings.

Keep your teeth clean, people.

Quake 3 scrims

Nice to see some more people starting to play Q3 CMPA again. Having some real fun here scrimming with my pal r2k.Term, Mamoth & TVSet. Good game guys!

Back Online

Back online with my blog – updated and configured. Will start populating the blog with loads of useless posts

Update: still trying to find a suitable wordpress style for my blog.
