PodCamp Toronto 2007

I don't have much time because I have lots of contacts to get back to but just a quick note to say that I just came back from PodCamp Toronto 2007 and it was fantastic! Links and a lot more info (boy am I vague!) to come this week. For now to a google search.

By the way, I spotted 4 people using Moleskine notebooks.

Finally... almost done... but not quite

Oh boy, what an oreal. Who thought that such a simple site could take forever to finish. My redesign and consolidation of my various sites is complete expect for the WordPress blog which-- no thanks to my webhost-- I still need to upload and configure.

Long story short: the webhost didn't mention that it didn't have the proper version of My SQL to accomodate the latest WordPress while they advertise they support it. BAH! At least they upgraded it as of yesterday. Thanks for the stress, ehosting.ca!

Not to mention the css nightmare I went though. Honestly, CSS is the best thing for the web along with XML. The two together are fantastic but... a big huge pain in the butt is Internet Explorer which requires a number of sensless workarounds and hacks to get CSS to look right.

And not to mention the slight disruption in my plans in the form of a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop I got for my parents-- turns out the stupid thing doesn't support WPA encryption for wireless. WHY NOT?? That's what I want to know. Wasted the whole day trying to figure out if it was my useless Netgear router or the computer. A search on the Internet reveals other customers expeirenced the same ordeal and loa nd behold, the computer doesn't support it. And the tech support from India didn't help as he insisted I use the weaker WEP instead.

Why, why, why, why oh why does the Toshiba manual insist on using WPA when the computer itself doesn't support it? So either I go get a WAP enabled PC card for the laptop or exchange it for another notebook (maybe the HP I saw) and pray it is compatible with WPA. Honestly....

Sorry, I'm a little upset.

Two more bodybuilding books and my new website

Ok, yes I am really REALLY REALLY terrible at keeping my blog up to date. Truth is, I've been devoting most of my spare time redesigning my superspud.com website. I am nearly done except for a few minor details like fixing up the pain-in-the-CSS that stupid IE won't show properly, incorporating WordPress into it, getting my Flash gallery working, etc. Nearly there...but hope to get it done before March. Which is why this post will also be short.

I'll try to squeeze in some more cartoon posts (I have a dilly of a Dali-esque title card from Looney tunes I want to share-- if you can't wait, get the first volume of the Golden Age DVD. Or was it on the 2nd?).

Tonight I also received 2 new bodybuilding books I can't wait to open up (I guess I'll have to read them at work) and I'll post my review of them in the future (as well as that LL Cool J one I got over the holidays-- I know, LL Cool J but what's in his book is pretty much the best way to build your body but more on that later).
