WordPress Image Upload Error?

May6

I setup my WordPress app to handle a second blog, but everytime I went to include a post that had images in it, it came back with an error. I searched online and no one had the error I was having.

I figured out what is what. I had the “Resize Images” turned off. For some reason, that was causing errors. Turning it on fixes the problem.

So there ya go.

SBSettings Was Slowin’ System Down

May5

So I’m sittin’ here at the dentist… ugg. Got a few minutes before I’m in complete pain… what better time’ta talk about SBSettings.

So yo, I’ve noticed a major improvement on system speed without SBSettings. I’ve mentioned this before, but I really didn’t see exactly how much it really helped the speed until I used Backgrounder.

Oh, and I just had a bunch if needles in my gums and, um… **** my mouth!! Ahh… mother ****** piece of ****…

Any ways… The biggest improvement was when I tried listening to music in the background, like with the app WunderRadio. With SBSettings installed, ****, I could barely run it in the background to access anything before it would crash. It wouldn’t run more than 10 seconds.

But having it uninstalled, ****, I’m able to write up an entire theneocell.com post with music in the background, and this includes workin’ with photos in the post. Last night, I was able to play net radio while doing an entire post and then do some Tweetie (Twitter), some Safari and even Notes, about 45 minutes of listening to music before WunderRadio crashed.

Think about that… goin’ from up to 5 minutes to up to 45 minutes. That’s crazy. It’s all from not havin’ SBSettings runnin’ in the background.

I used to listen to music in the background with Backgrounder, before I had SBSettings installed. I was able to play music in the background no problem. So clearly, SBSettings was causing a big slow down.

Now, am I sayin’ not’ta use SBSettings? No… Am I sayin’ that SBSettings is a system hog? No… What I am sayin’, though, is that if you want to use Backgrounder, Backgrounder is a program that runs in the background constantly, just like SBSettings. Having both running in the background will slow your system down to a very noticeable point. And using Backgrounder with SBSettings will make the system too slow to really make Backgrounder work effectively.

So, it’s either run SBSettings without Backgrounder, or use Backgrounder without SBSettings. What do I think is more valuable? Backgrounder by a long shot.

Google Calendar Loves iPhones

May4

I love how Google Calendar enables syncing through Microsoft Exchange. So what’s that got to do with the Neocell? Well the calendar of iPhones supports Exchange. This means that, if you use Google Calendars (like you should be), your iPhone will be able to bring in (push) all your appointments and dates straight to your phone instantly. And, better yet, any appointments you make on your iPhone will be pushed to Google Calendars.

I love this feature because, before, I did all my appointments on my Pocket PC’s calendar. But then I started using Google Calendars because I needed to share some dates and appointments with people. This was sorta’ a headache because I had to input both calendars. I started just inputting crap into Google Calendar only. If I had an important appointment, then I’d type that into my Pocket PC. It was a pain.

Well about a week before I got my iPhone, Google came out with the sync for Goodle Calendar. I could have used this with my (then defective) Pocket PC, but screw that… The calendar of iPhones are so easy and functional.

Like, I never understood why there
was a “week” view on Pocket PCs, computer programs or other calendar systems. I’m so glad they did away with that. ******’ retarded.

One of the cool things, too, is that you can sync not just your calander, but others. I have my own calendar and three other’s linked into my calendar. Two I don’t have showing, and the third I have in my calendar because it’s the US Holiday calendar.

Havin’ this sync between my iPhone and “the cloud” is great because I’ll put something in the Neocell and I’ll say “Remember to call this person to let them know you’ve got a dentist appointment tomorrow.” and it’s like *bam*, I’ll get a phone call or email from that person, bein’ like “So tomorrow you’re busy?”. ‘Freakin’ awesome.

I’m So Done With Twinkle

May3

I’m so done with Twinkle… But let me start by sayin’ a confession… I’ve never been much for Twitter. The only reason I use Twitted is for theneocell.com. I mean when I wanna’ stay in contact with friends, I don’t Twitter or text or Facebook them, screw that… I call them up or email them. And that’s they all feel, so it works out.

But I did have a need for Twitter for thesite, so I used Twinkle. Twinkle’s the free app from Tapulous, the makers of TapTap Revenge 2. So hey, I went with them. And the fact that they offer photo uploading and location features was great. And you don’t have to have a Twitter account to chat in Twinkle. Cool, right?

What I didn’t realize was how many people weren’t using Twitter for Twinkle. The answer? Almost nobody. ****, Twinkle is like a ******’ AOL teen chat room. 95% of people on there are like 12 to 14 year olds. And not the cool, normal kinds… the retarded kinds. See, this ain’t news to people, that’s why mostly everyone stays away from Twinkle… I just never got that memo and was livin’ through that bull ****.

And here’s the funniest part; Twinkle doesn’t really bring in Twitter feeds, or export them. If your not following anyone on Twitter already, forget about it… on Twinkle, your just gonna’ be hearin’ gay **** from Twinkle users. And Twitter posts goin’ out? ****, I started getting followers the two days I’ve been usin’ Twittie, versus nothing at all from bein’ on Twinkle for over a month.

What makes Twinkle horrible is it’s users. God I just wanna’ smack them and their parents. “This is for postin’ this crap on Twinkle.” *smack* “And this is for not usin’ protection.” *smack*

I ain’t jokin’ on how bad it is. You can tell from the screen shots. People… the same people… postin’ “im bored talk 2 me!!1″. Your on a **** iPod touch, how on Earth can you type “im” wihout it auto-correcting to “I’m”, and how can you even get a typo of “!!1″ when the “!” and “1″ are on different ends of the keyboard of iPod Touches??

Some other crap they’ll type is chain letter crap and all the worst crap you’d expect to find I’m chat rooms a few years ago. And let’s not forget the countless icon pictures of shirtless, skinny, Skittles-fed ****. Oh thanks dude, that’s exactly what I wanted to see on my iPhone before dinner, your pasty / ashy chest.

But the worst are the “rate me 1 – 10″ crap. I included screen shots of what I’m talkin’ about. The same ugly *** retards post constently… the last thing yo ugly *** needs are people ratin’ ya. What, you honestly want us to tell you how ugly you are on a scale from 1 to 10? And the saddest thing? No one rates them, haha… but do they take a hint and stop? No…

But get this, my stupid *** actually kinda’ expected all of Twitter was like this. Boy was I wrong once I got Tweetie. I was like “Where are all the stupid idiots at?”. There weren’t any to be found. I realized, “Twinkle ain’t Twitter… Twinkle… ain’t… Twitter…”

I saw reviews calling Twinkle stupid and all the real Twitted apps out there, but I thought Twinkle was unique because it could upload and store photos in tweets and that it had location finding services. Well that was wrong.

Well I’m pleased to say after this post, I’m uninstalling Twinkle and I’m embrasing the real Twitter community via Tweetie (“Tweetie”? I know, gay *** name, but it’s a great program).

So to the Twinkle community, go ‘freak yourselfs… I’m out.

Peace, J
