A poke here, a tweak there and things seem to be happy again.  Fingers crossed it’ll stay that way, although I’ve still got several other plugins I want to add to the site and I’ll probably change my mind about the theme of the site in a day or two so don’t be surprised if things go badly arwry pretty soon 😉

UMID’s “super mini laptop” is small, shiny, super – Engadget

UMID’s “super mini laptop” is small, shiny, super – Engadget: I’ve been thinking that one of the Asus or Eeeeeeeeeee netbooks would be perfect for me. They wouild fit in my rucksack (that’s normally stuffed with cycling gear), they’re pretty hardy (especially with SSD) and have enough grunt to be able to take notes, basic browsing etc … basically where my iPhone is great for out and about quickies, I’d like something for out and about slightly more prolonged sessions … and this Super mini laptop (sub-netbook?) looks even more perfect.  Wonder how much it’ll cost?

All new, all good . . . not quite.

It would appear that the comment link (that speech bubble thing next to the post title) is fubar’d for all stories that come in from syndication, ie. stories from Google Reader of Tumblr . . . I’m looking into it

Weller smoke puts theatre in jam

Weller smoke puts theatre in jam: Is the theatre getting a warning because he smoked inside their building or because they didn’t do anything about it when he did?? Seems kinda arse backwards to me …

Is Palin the Republican future?

Is Palin the Republican future?: lol, she’s their future?? I presume this is the beginnings of a really long term strategy by the Republicans to give away the next election, and possibly the one after that???

XKCD is great, but this shared item is more to test the new WordPress plugin I’ve installed 😉

The only blood these contracts are signed in is from me cutting my hand trying to open the goddamn CD case.

Another new site?

If you’re reading this then DNS has propagated and you’re seeing the new smufflersWorld on the new host, www.webfaction.com, and not on the old host, www.web-mania.com

changing things around again?? Well why the hell not . . . it’s been a couple of years at least since I decided to change things around and this time I’ve actually got a good reason. My old hosting company, web-mania.com, run php 4.1 on their servers and have just announced that they can’t upgrade beyond that . . . in order to run the current version of WordPress I need php 4.3.

WebFaction also has the advantage of virtually instant setup and configuration of new sites and web applications . . . it’s going to be fun playing around and seeing how much I can do in here 😉
