In keeping with Buraglio tradition, we’ve spawned what doctors have deemed to be a male.
I think he’s already working on his x-guard too….
Argh….

I’m a little frustrated with the Wordpress conversion, overall I think it’s probably better than movable type, but the primary driver for making the changeover was so that I could use the mobile support that came out for the iPhone. Well, I seem to be running into a fairly common bug in it, in that it doesn’t seem to be able to read my configuration or write to my pages.
I’m quite confident that it is either
a. something I need to tweak, or
b. something that will be fixed soon if it is in fact a bug.
I’ll probably did a little deeper into it tonight to make sure that it isn’t a problem on my end.
Either way, I’m looking forward to being able to shoot photos up here directly from my iPhone….
It should be fun.

Wordpress it is….
by admin on Jul.27, 2008, under Uncategorized
I’ve been thinking about moving this blog over to movable type due to the more user friendly and extendable nature of it, even though I don’t like the idea of a mysql backend (my old MT install just uses sqlite). With the useful iphone support and ease of use It just seems like the right thing to do…..and since it’s already pretty much done, here it is. Note the cheery default color scheme (6/27/2008, it’s probably going to change…..)

Look up your favorite soft drink and see how it compares to others. This is not usual data on the back of the label. It’s interesting that the diet drinks have some of the highest levels.
