FInally returned to Winamp, having not used it since version 2.8x. iTunes has been my music player of choice since getting an iPod Nano, but suspect that the far, far less bloated Winamp will once again win my heart. Ironic, since it was the bloated v3 of Winamp that switched me off its service in the first place…
And I love having a media player that natively supports WMA and doesn’t have to offensively convert it to an “m4u” file first… Now I just need to get a fresh Last.fm plugin and some sort of iPod plugin (does one of those exist? It must do…).
Sorry, all the mess I had was because I was a cheapskate and bought my domain from 1&1 and have my hosting with 34sp and was negotiating getting my domain host to point to my web host. Chris, and everyone else, was fed up with the nonsense division6.34sp.com rubbish, so wanted to fix it.
Unfortunately, as 1&1 also hosted my email, there were complications in arranging that, but thanks in part to excellent technical support from 34sp and in larger part to fantastic technical support from Chris, we should be working.
It might take a little time for the domain changes to propogate through everyone’s DNS servers, but you should soon seen a fixed Division6… And then I’ll look at getting myself a funky Ajax-ified theme!
Upgraded! Going to change theme to include some cool Ajax functionality but that will take a bit of work. For now you have to trust me that I’ve got a cool, powerful backend, and all the cool bits in my sidebar took a lot of (Chris’) time to get working – Thanks Chris!
So; prepare all of you for a mind-bogglingly impressive upgrade to the front end in the next month or two…
I apologise if you’re unable to comment on any posts – have had to disable some features of the site owing to apparently being a target of some fairly irritating comment spam. Will be up and running again soon – hopefully Chris will help me upgrade to WP2.0.1 soon!
Damian’s finally started blogging, at full speed and in quite an entertaining fashion. Thanks to Chris, as ever, for setting him up. He’ll be spouting travel anecdotes, cultural observations, pictures and podcasts from La Paz, and will provide some interesting, amusing, acerbic and probably cynical commentary.
I’m pleased to announced that Division6 is IE7 compatible.
From having spent a few minutes with the browser, I have a few things to say.
(1) It looks good. Sleek lines, nice colours.
(2) Its v. much playing catch up with Firefox, which still seems much better. Few features seem demonstrably different.
(3) That said, there are some nice things. An interesting tab browser to smooth the tabbed browsing experience, RSS integration, etc.
(4) Even though IE7 loads up quicker than Firefox, it does seem slightly slow/clunky. Not sure if that’s just my machine…
All-in-all, though, except through getting people who don’t realise they have a choice of browser, I’m not sure there’s enough there to worry Firefox, in terms of the all-round goodness of its browsing experience.
Update: Ok, so it double posted on a single click. Well, its still in beta…
I’m a geek. Two posts on a Friday night, one about enterprise software and the other about fantasy novels. I think I’d best go off and play sport, drink beer and carouse with women to regain my man-card.
Actually, that probably won’t redeem me…
