Flash doesn’t work on phones?
What was that Apple? More BS?
Dreaming About Hitler
I don’t tend to remember my dreams, but everyone now and again, about once every month, I do.
This month’s dream involved Hitler, and I’m as confused about that as you probably are.
I was in some sort of fake London, hanging out with a chap I used to know, we cut across an imaginary park to get somewhere, and there was a bunk bed there (in someone’s garage no less).
Anyway, I put some music on my phone, and this alarm starts going off. I do nothing at first, but it carries on, and carries on. I try everything I can to turn this alarm off, but I can’t find the setting on my phone.
Then Hitler turns up in the garage, wearing a tshirt with a slogan saying “HSL Youth” and some green design of some Hitler Youth kids in a pose similar to that of the famous Iwo Jima photograph. I hand him my phone, and he manages to switch the alarm off.
At this point, I wake up to my girlfriend digging under my pillow for her phone which was making a fucking alarm noise.
Conclusion. Mimi = Hitler.
You’re Apple’s bitch now
All hilarity about Iphone 4 screens being ruined, and the antenna killing phone signal when you’re holding them aside, this one is just a bit amusing for proponents of the jesus phone.

The world’s largest technology company by market capitalization may soon rival the National Security Agency in its ability to track Americans using their cell phones.
Apple Inc. is now tracking the “precise,” “real-time geographic location” of iPhones, iPads and Macintosh computers — and has unwittingly gotten its customers to sign off on their being tracked by making a little-noticed modification to the language in its apps store.
The company’s “partners and licensees” will now be able to collect and store data about your location.
Apple is the new Facebook?

Easy Post Types – What a Joke
In the process of trying to create this website, I’ve been playing around with the new post type function in WordPress 3.0. Being a lazy git, finding plugins that create those post types was a great way to start.
I started with the Easy Post Types plugin, by New Signature Labs because it seemed like a good one, and was advertised on a few WP centric sites.
What a joke that turned out to be.
Their documentation only consists of the easy stuff, ie setting up the new post type. But there’s no mention of anything useful, like, maybe getting those new post types to actually display anywhere on the site.
So, I had a look at their site and found someone I could contact, along with this text:
New Signature developed Easy Post Types to streamline the process of building out complex page types in WordPress. We strive to contribute back to the web development community so that others can benefit from our innovations. The Easy Post Types plugin is community powered and your feedback on the widget is an essential part of the development process and is greatly appreciated.
All good and well, you think, right? Well, no, actually. After emailing them, I receive this reply:
Jacques,
There is documentation available online here: http://www.wpeasyposttypes.com/documentation and here http://www.wpeasyposttypes.com/demo that may provide the information you are looking for. Outside of that New Signature does provide commercial support for the Easy Post Types plugin and can help with Installation, Integration, Customizations, and Enhancements. We charge $130/hr for support and require a signed contract to be in place before any work is performed.
Best regards,
Christopher Hertz
$130 per hour? What a fucking joke.
Anyway, for anyone that may stumble across this, here’s the easy fix that New Signature Labs want you to pay $130 for.
Open up the template you want to use, ie for me, with my web_design post type, I copied an existing template and added this piece of code right before the start of the loop.
query_posts('post_type=web_design');
I then save the modified template to a new name, and use it as the active template for the web_design page, so now it displays all posts of type web_design.
Simples.
