Other Stuff Yourls restored.

I ended up having to just restore the old files. Someday when I get more time, I will figure out what is wrong. I believe the plugin is too new for the version of Yourls I am running (1.2).

Other Stuff YOURLS plugin after upgrade.

I am having trouble with the yourls plugin for WordPress, since I updated it this morning. It keeps saying the username or password is incorrect despite manually verifying them. Might have to test sending some tweets. Sorry.

Other Stuff More AT&T, iPhone musings.

0 Comments

Recently, I was up in the heart of San Francisco. As somebody who lives about 15 miles north of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles and gets ok AT&T/iPhone service, I have to say that I think that people that are complaining in the Bay Area are a bunch of spoiled, whining babies. From every corner of the city, I was amazed by the great service I was getting compared to what I get at home. Just goes to show you, it is all relative. Come to Santa Clarita Valley and then you guys might have something to complain about.

Other Stuff iPhone 4 and iPhone3Gs

2 Comments

Got my iPhone4 on Wednesday (6/23/2010), so I spent the previous weekend jailbreaking and unlocking my 3Gs. Unfortunately, I used Spirit to jailbreak my 3.1.3 iPhone3Gs with the 05.21.01 baseband and it was the first time I did jailbreak the phone. So I was unable to update it to IOS4. I need it be unlocked to work on Tmobile. Nonetheless, using it was better than I thought it would be, but the signal in my home is really weak unless I am upstairs. I am keeping an eye out to figure out how I can update it to IOS4 and unlock it.

By the way, I like the new phone a lot. I had issues getting it ordered, but I only did it through Apple. And I have to say to everybody that was complaining about AT&T, Apple had their own issues too. A lot of the time was when it was verifying my AT&T account, but there were other times when it was all Apple. I was able to get my order processed at about 5pm Pacific time.

My only issues so far have been the sharp edges. I hate having to use a case, but I think I going to have to. Also, I have noticed the signal degredation, when holding the phone in my left hand, which I do all the time. The case should help with that too.

Other Stuff Now supporting mobile devices.

I installed the WordPress Mobile Edition plugin, so now the site can be easily read from a mobile device. It gets me to the information pretty quickly. It even supports search. Works fine from my phone, although I like the WordPress mobile application better to create new posts.

Other Stuff Updated my blog to use Yourls plugin.

1 Comment

This looks like is could be a pretty interesting plugin. We will see.

Well, my first attempt at this did not work so well. I have my own domain (tyni.info) and I am now trying to use it.

Well, at least I got yourls to work. However, I still having trouble getting the twitter plugin to work.

All right, I got this to work. The version I installed today worked fine with my yourls installation using my own shortened url. Cool stuff.

I used the the version 1.2.1 of the plugin (http://planetozh.com/blog/yourls-wordpress-to-twitter-a-short-url-plugin/). This is the one that worked for me.

I downloaded and installed yourls from http://code.google.com/p/yourls/downloads/list.

Other Stuff New look

0 Comments

This week I decided to tackle changing the look to the site. Basically, I am still using the Connections theme developed by vanillamist. I just decided to make it my own. I am not quite done, but so far I like it. Maybe someday, I will try create my own. I just very rarely have time for something that would require that much time, especially, with my lack of strong php and graphics skills.
