First!

Julian Emmanuel’s first birthday is coming up.
I gave this flyer a grungy look because it fits Julian’s personality well. He’s got that gritty look in him, and just the right amount of mischief peeks through every time he smiles. We call him “sutil”, a Filipino term that’s similar to “naughty” but not quite there.

Got the MacBook Air
So thin, it’s like it isn’t there.
It arrived through inter-office routing.
Yup, it’s *that* thin!
See how thin that is? My fingers are almost touching together.
Of course, I had to to try out the multitouch pad. Loving it.
It’s thinner than my Moleskine notebook. I may have to ditch that one.
(Enough with the hype already. Heh, /me dealing with my Mac envy.)
WordPress admin phone interface
I’m writing this on a mobile phone using the wp-admin phone interface plugin, WPhone.

The experience is quite painful — it’s not meant for the usual mobile phone browser, but rather for richer ones (in both the functional and, er, economical sense).


I’m better off using other means, like email-to-blog perhaps.
Update: I take that back. Well, the part about posting using the mobile admin interface, anyway — that is still not usable and there are better ways of doing it. But other simple admin tasks (like activating or deactivating a plugin, for example) can be quite easy using the mobile interface.
For example, I was able to activate the WordPress Mobile Edition plugin, and was able to see the result right away.

There’s still the matter of having the plugin there in the first place though. Hmmm, SSH on S60 should be next in my list.
Google CAPTCHA sorry page
Okay, I know this is old news, but lately I’ve been getting a lot of these sorry pages that prompt me to input CAPTCHA words so I can continue with the search.

This would be understandable *if* only because I go through the Tor networks sometimes when I do searches, but this also happens at work. Weird, though, that I encounter the sorry page mostly when I go through the northern American segment of our network, but rarely when I’m on the Asia Pacific side.
(That is not to say that I search “anomalous queries”. We do have in-house Google searches {using the appliances}, but sometimes I need to go out on the internet to look for hints on some issues we encounter. {Okay, so searching for [Sara Brinsfield] from work — well it was only that one time — is a *bit* anomalous, but still…})
