I’m now a BlackBerry owner due to the need to keep on top of my workload. I’ve got an 8900 and starting to play with it. Theme creation is pretty straightforward and the first attempt is here (colours_lights).
The theme is based on one by Dylan (found here) but of course I needed to prove to myself that I could do one the same and to play with it until it could be just as I liked it

The background shot is a picture my brother took in London, I must remember his site to put a link up.
Just back from a three day Holiday in Venice. Great location to get away from it all for a short while.
If you’re thinking of doing the same thing, some advice
1) Save up. With the exchange rate from GBP to EUR as it is at the moment everything was looking expensive. Add on the cost of a cup of coffee in San Marco (about 9 pounds) and it’s enough to make you think. There are cheaper places there if you can find them
2) You can get a ‘travel card’ for 24, 36, 48 hours etc from the airport that covers the bus into venice (the number 5) and the vaporetto water buses. Well worth the freedom it gives.
Due to the unfortunate closing of the company I was hosting with (KJO Webservices) I’ve now moved to Xilo. I’ve taken the opportunity to increase storage space and to update Wordpress. The update couldn’t be done automatically so I decided to export posts, remove the migrated version and install fresh, then to import the posts back again. Hopefully it’s all nice and clean now.
The RouterTech.org firmware v2.6 has been out for a couple of weeks now and is going down well. Lot’s of new features and enhancements so go and have a look if you have an AR7 based DSL router.
A quick discussion the other day lead to a small update of the cricket score grabber get it here. This app looks at the current score from the BBC website and then uses that to replace the title of the active window. A semi-subtle way of keeping on top of the score.
Please note it doesn’t look too good on applications that try to be clever in displaying windows like sapgui and office2007. Not seen any problems with it but…..
Well, after ongoing complaints from Google that my site wasn’t clean I eventually found an html page on a linked site that was also hacked. All clean now but I wish the info from Google webmaster tools was a little more useful…..
Unfortunately this site is being listed by Google as an ‘attack site’ after the hack that I suffered recently. The site is clean from downloaders now (thanks to help from Kieran at kjowebservices.co.uk) and I’ve submitted it for review in order to get it off the bad-boy list.
I’ve now been through the process of upgrading to WordPress 2.5 and can say that the look and feel at the back-end is much improved. The upgrade itself is relatively straightforward, the only gotcha is if you are running K2 at the time of the upgrade. If so have a look at my post at http://forum.kjowebservices.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9 for help if it’s gone wrong when running K2.
Well, I’ve put my money where my mouth is and changed car to be a little greener. An extra 15 mpg and an emmisions group or two lower makes me feel a little less guilty about driving to work.
