Wordpress Upgrade

 Well, I made the mistake of upgrading my Wordpress Installation without reading up on the changes and boom… errors all over the page. Oh well, I’ll have to remember to fix those…

iPhone compatible

your blog on the iPhone Experiencing “the real internet” with the iPhone’s version of Safari is great and all, but sometimes you can’t help but wish that some sites were specifically customized to perfectly fit the iPhone’s screen. If you have a Wordpress blog, configuring it to look and feel at home on the iPhone is now a piece of cake with the iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme. Simply install the plugin and theme to have your blog automatically detect when it’s being displayed on an iPhone then reconfigure itself to perfection.

I’ve already installed it and it seems to function as advertised. I should remember to keep an eye out for updates to see what they come up with next.

Update: Oops. Looks like this plugin is confusing Firefox for the iPhone browser. Odd. Guess I’ll deactivate it for now. Oh well…

New Nikon D80

Chinese lady on a bench I picked up a new Nikon D80 last Saturday and have taken thousands of photos since. (Most of them terrible.) The camera is an amazingly intuitive joy to use. Everything just works amazingly. Additionally, the Nikkor 24-85mm lens I picked up for it is really amazing. This being my first Digital SLR, I’m unbelievably happy with the ultra-crisp shots it manages to create.

Since I’m now trying my hand at photography, I’ve added a photos section to the sidebar that links to Flickr. Now if only I can remember to RTFM or at least learn the first thing about real photography.

Hello world!

Patrick Bennett IconOver the years and years I’ve been working and playing online, lots of amazingly creative ideas, sites, and people have come and gone. That wouldn’t be such a big deal if only I had a good memory… which I don’t. As a result, I try creating all these ways I can remember all the amazing things I come across to make sure I can learn from them making sure to always move forward without making the same mistakes or identical “innovations.”

This site is the latest tool to help keep a quick searchable database of ideas, sites, happenings, music, concepts and more. The only difference this time is that it’s public. Maybe that will allow for some sharing of information, or maybe it will only provide SEO. I’m not sure about that one yet, so for now, comments are turned on. Maybe they’ll stay on and maybe they won’t.

Anyway, although that all sounds so serious, this site surely won’t be. Let’s have fun… and when I get a few seconds I’ll update the design to something more matching the content.
