You are now viewing my site on WP 2.1. It was a relatively painless upgrade (following the instructions on WordPress.org)…but I use the term “relatively” very loosly. When I first tried to run the upgrade script, I got an error (that I had seen before):

(No Ratings Yet)New WordPress release (version 2.1) and other stuff




(No Ratings Yet)Once again, it’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been deep in “geek-dom” mainly related to Cell Phone.

WordPress updated to 2.06




(No Ratings Yet)So, I updated my blog to 2.06…didn’t really notice anything that new or changed about it. According to wordpress.org, here is what has changed:

Well…that didn’t last long!




(No Ratings Yet)So much for my attempt to write 1 review a day…guess the holiday vacation blew a pretty big hole in that one. I will get back to that when I have time.
Recently though, I have been tweaking my Tmoble MDA. I installed a new “cooked” ROM on it. But now (and I’m not sure if [...]
