2/10/2009: WordPress 2.7.1: 0 comments

I just upgraded Wordpress from 2.6.* to 2.7.1, I am quite discouraged by the admin panel, by the looks of it it looks highly inaccessible. I don’t have a screen reader installed on this machine, but I can tell.
One way I can tell is the default notification on where you are at if via keyboard [...]

2/09/2009: My Birthday: 2 comments

My birthday is coming up, it is actually this Saturday. Yes, the 14th. My mom, her boyfriend, and my sister are coming up most likely for lunch or dinner. Mom wants to do something at Pike Place Market, but considering it was snowing a little bit ago, we’ll see what happen.:)
Anyhow, I saw that [...]

2/06/2009: Facebook Support: 4 comments

Sunday or Monday I wrote to Facebook saying that the edit link for the “Information Box” directs me to the home page versus getting a popup box or going to some sort of profile edit page. I heard back from user support this afternoon, getting the following as a reply:

2/04/2009: USB Death: 0 comments

I just did quick search, and saw all these extra icons. After finishing my search, I went to the Google Blog to see what was all this stuff. It turns out that all that extra stuff is Google’s new feature called SearchWiki. SearchWiki allows users to put certain items at the top of the list [...]

11/20/2008: Gmail: Themes: 0 comments

I logged into Gmail for the first time since about noon Wednesday, I saw that there was something new. THEMES! I am not sure how I feel about them really, I know that there are a few things I would like to see happen prior to these. However, most people like to make things pretty [...]

6/08/2008: Automatic Saving and Post Titles: 1 comment

The importance of a title is everything these days. When writing posts, I sometimes write the body of the post, then the title. Sometimes I don’t know what I want to title it exactly, so I leave it blank. No biggie, right?
Well if you are using the WordPress.com Stats Plugin, there is a slight bug [...]
