As with most of the rest of the Worlds iPhone owners, I updated my iPhone 3G to the long-awaited OS 3.0 on Wednesday 17th June 2009. Surprisingly, it seemed to take far less time to complete than any of the other software updates I’ve applied to my iPhones. As to be expected from what we already knew though, most of the new features are subtle ones. The most obvious is the Messages app, which has replaced the old SMS app. Other than that, theres nothing remarkably obvious to differentiate it from 2.2.1. Not that thats a bad thing.

I’ve been reading about the 100+ new features, both known and hidden, but I wanted to note down the ones I’ve experienced which I particularly like or dislike. I’ll keep adding to this list as time goes on. Continue reading 'Exploring iPhone OS 3.0 On My 3G iPhone'»

Firstly, I’ve been using NearlyFreeSpeech for years, and they’ve always been great. They’re a very low cost hosting method, working on a pay-as-you-go basis. However, they’re not the best hosting environment for those that prefer things to ‘just work’. You need to be a little more technically minded to host your site with NFS, or at least have some patience.

For the last couple of years, I switched hosting of my main site (this one) to another hosting provider – BlueHost. However, in the last few months of my time with them, the level of service slipped considerably, to the point where large portions of my site would often disappear or fail to work properly. I switched back to NFS recently, and I’m so glad I did. Their hosting is quick, reliable, and affordable.

However, as I mentioned, it really is a bare bones solution. There’s no cpanel here. They wont install WordPress, etc, for you. You need to roll up your sleeves and get geeky in the terminal.

The biggest issue i’ve faced since moving my site back to NFS, is the inability to upgrade plugins successfully through the dashboard using WordPress 2.7. Continue reading 'Warnings Upgrading WordPress Plugins : NearlyFreeSpeech.net'»

There’s not much in this part of the site at the moment.
