Sorry about downtime. WP 2.6 seemed to change the way permalinks are processed on Apache side, so I had to re-compile my ancient Apache install in order to add mod-rewrite. Everything should work fine now :)
..is mine!
and I'm Softbank's slave for next 2 years.. Well.. at least I didn't have to sell my soul ;)
.. I have one nice idea for an iPhone app so.. hm… maybe I'll refresh (re-learn?) my ObjC .. but I don't really have time to spare as it stands now. Oh well.. we'll see :)
.. not that it was officially taking them, but local Softbank shops everywhere were already taking pre-orders.
I called one of the Softbank shops in the afternoon today and asked if I can pre-order my iPhone and was told "yes". When I finally got to the shop the evening, there were taking the huge "TAKING IPHONE PRE-ORDERS" banners off the front glass. Told me they received a call from the head office ordering to cancel pre-orders.
(taking pre-orders of iPhon..)
(taking pre-orders of iPho…)
And still no tariff plans, no even info on how exactly iPhone will be sold (could be either real Softbank or virtual operator, which will be Apple).. Softbank is a mess :)
Updated software of my TV set today.. Over 100Mbit/s unlimited optical line.. The TV asked to reboot itself.. Nothing special, I guess, but I looked at the process in perspective of last 10 years. Things changed.
..and survived today!
I was pulling out headphones from my backpack while waiting for the train today, and suddenly dropped my iPod down on the concrete of the platform. I had a split-second thinking if I should look down or not (I heard a plenty of stories that Touches and iPhones have exactly zero limit of being dropped and still working after that) - however, my Touch was as good as new, no problems at all, when I took it from the ground and turned on! Not even a single scratch (though this is not a surprize as I am using the most excellent InvisibleShield protection). Actually, on second thought, it might be the InvisibleShield which actually saved my iTouch… Or I am just a lucky guy :)
Phew :)
Mr. Arthur C. Clarke, one of my favourite sci-fi authors, passed away at age 90.
A world without Heinlein, and now Clarke. Well.. it sucks….
Rest in peace. And thanks for all the great books.
I will be changing my RSS feed address to FeedBurner's one, so please take your time to update your RSS feed settings to:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/macdiggs
I will be doing some Apache redirect magick so everything should go smooth even if you don't update the feed address. But.. well, I'm on FeedBurner from now on :)
Got my wife one of those, on the second day it went on sale ;)
Some pics:
Packaging is pretty luxurious and nice. Unlike usual softbank stuff. Disney mobile model number is DM001SH. (more…)
