I’m happy to report that I’ve jumped on the bandwagon and made my site iPhone/iPod Touch accessible (It was only a matter of time, right?). Hey, if there are going to be ten million of these things by 2008, I might as well start now, right?
To view the site in iMode, just visit us on an iPod Touch or iPhone (or tell your browser to pretend to be an iPhone). Enjoy.
(I promise, the next article will not be about anything related to Apple.)

I’m sorry to report this, but I’ve broken down and gotten ads for the blog. I know, I know… I hate them as much as you do. But a college studen’t got to live, too, you know. :P
Within the next few days, you’ll see an AdSense box appear in the right navigation. If you have a web content filter, don’t sweat it: it’ll get filtered out.
On another, semi-related note: I’m thinking about re-skinning the blog to give it a bit more modern-esque format. Stay tuened over the coming week(s).

Awhile ago I blogged about a new guitar I had bought from a cousin of mine, and I hosted the picture of it in my images directory here. Funny how the Internet works… here are some statistics pertaining to that image file from April 1, 2007 to current date:
#reqs #pages %bytes URL
2492 1557 8.48% http://images.google.com/imgres
1535 0 14.07% http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm
Which basically means that the image has moved high up in Google’s image search (try searching for ‘warlock guitar’ on Google Images, it’s on the first page), as well as being on over 25 MySpaces, some forum signatures, and other miscellaneous sites around the ‘net. That image is the top file requested off my server, and contributes to my bandwith usage somewhat considerably. What’s neat, too, is that I actually “made” that image to an extent. There was originally another guitar behind this one, so I had to do a bit of editing work and cut it out. Oh, and the shadow was me, too. Incidentally, this image is more popular than the original I took it from.
Considering its apparent popularity, here it is again in all it’s (mysterious) glory:
Rock on.
Update: If you search for ‘guitar’ on Google Images, this very guitar is second in the list (at time of update, will probably change). I don’t know if that’s supposed to make me feel good about myself, or if that’s supposed to be some sort of achievement or what, but I think it’s pretty neat.

I hadn’t even noticed this, but apparently comments have been completely gone for awhile now because I had changed the way my permalink structure was here on the blog, and I guess something in it wasn’t showing the “Leave a Comment” form. I’ve since changed the structure (again) and comments seem to have automagically reappeared. Good one, WordPress. You can bet I’ll be submitting a bug report on this one.

As you may have noticed, my blog’s got a new skin. Some of you were complaining about the many MB of images you needed to download with the old skin, so I decided to go with a new one. Yeah, it’s blue, but hey, what would you rather have, blue or puke green+a few mb of images to download?
I need to tweak the CSS a bit, so some things may not look right just yet. I’m working on it as we speak (type?).
Edit: That wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Let me know what you think!
