Yep, i definitely have an iphone now, and let me say it is better then i could have thought, that seems to be the general opinion on it with anyone that cares even slightly. I’m typing on it right now using wifi (no expensive edge for me, yet), so as awesome as it is (and typing is awesome), I’m still making it short.

I’ve bought a few more domain names, hopefully I’ll get around to making use if them. I had an idea for a completely new, less personal blog that I’d like to get off the ground, so look for that in the coming months. Also now that I have an iPhone, I’d like to start making some apps for it. Probably just “Web 2.0″ apps, but who knows, maybe I’ll actually use that Xcode that is taking up so much space on my iBook.

That’s all for now, more bandwagon later…

Well, this is my first official post using my new wordpress blog! I’ve been learning how the whole wordpress system works over the last few days and I must say I am really liking it, everything seems so easy to work with and customize, and the documentation available on wordpress.org is extremely helpfull in the whole process.

Wow! You know your site has reached some corner of the internet when your comments section gets spammed! I just cleaned them out of the database, but for some reason I enjoy the fact that I’ve been spammed.

I really have to get the new site up.

!–jdyck–!

I know I know, I must be the worst blogger out there. I mean, what kind of blogger updates their site once a month at best? I guess my kind.

So I’m super excited for Monday, being August 7th, Steve Jobs keynote at the WWDC. I just can’t wait to see what other gadgets I want badly but can’t afford. Isn’t that always fun! My little 6GB iPod Mini is slowly biting the dust, I know it. Her battery life is cut to probably 12 hours (used to get 16 or more, 2 full shifts at work), but seeing as that’s the only thing that’s wrong I guess I should be happy. Still, I’d like to sell her and get the new one that I’m sure is coming soon enough, and I’d like to be able to sell her while she is still working.

Then there’s the iPhone rumors. My little Telus LG phone is really annoying me lately as it constantly complains that it wants more battery. Really, if anyone can make a good cell phone, it’s Apple, and I’m not saying that as an Apple fan boy, they just have an amazing design team and a good strong foot planted in the consumer electronics department.

That said, I think what I’m looking forward to most is Leopard. From some of the early leaked information, we are looking at 15-40% performance increases with this new version of Apples OS. That would be a huge increase for my little 1.2GHz G4 iBook (which is badly in need of RAM might I add). As well, all the Multi-Processor enhancements seem phenomenal! Again, it’s all early leaked speculations, but I’ve read some damn fine articles explaining how Apple and Intel have worked to allow all the cores to be utilized to their full potential (whether that be for the best performance or the best power saving). It’s going to be great, hopefully I’ll have money for a MacBook Pro soon enough, I think I’d wait for the first product refreshment after Leopard is released, just to be sure it has everything in it to take full advantage of the new OS. (My iBook sure didn’t have enough RAM to run Tiger, and Apple refreshed the line about 4 weeks later, with more RAM)

I think I’m scrapping building a new site from the ground up. It takes way too much time, and I always find other projects to work on and put my site on the back burner. I really want to get rid of this horrible site and get something respectable up soon, so I’ve decided to venture into the world of Wordpress. Expect something sooner (maybe later).

I just updated Mark Cohen’s link as he changed his URL a few months ago. Sorry it took so long Mark!

If you are seeing this post, that means that my site has now reached its new host over at www.dreamhost.com! Due to the recent downtime and issues on my previous host I have decided to switch, and lately I have been seeing many new sites on dreamhost (like www.coolosxapps.com, so I figured I would try them out!

Anyways, thats all for now. New site is coming alone nicely, so expect it soon!
