Blog is iPhone approved

May 26th, 2008 by sergi

Thanks to Alexliam and his post (in spanish) about the compatibility of the blog with the navigation with an iPhone, I realized this blog isn’t compatible!

Oh my God, this blog which main topic is iPhone and Apple, can’t be no iPhone friendly, so I’ve ran to install the plugin that let’s you make your blog compatible with it, the plugin is called WPTouch.

Once the plugin is installed as the rest of the plugins, you can configure it through Settings->WPTouch, if you pay attention at the bottom of the configuration page, you will see a few recommendations of a plugins you may install and some pages you could make to explode all the features of WPTouch, for the time being, I have only installed a pair of plugins, Blip.it to visualize the embedded videos in the posts, and flickrRRS to show photos on my flickr account.

The other recommendations are making some pages called ‘Links’, ‘Archives’ and ‘Photos’ but I think I won’t make it.

And to show you (if you haven’t an iPhone :P) how the blog looks…

iPhone Software: MobileTwitter vs. Twinkle

May 25th, 2008 by sergi

After a month with the iPhone, I have tried tons of applications and some of these were for only one purpose, tweeting. Today I want to do a little review about two of the main applications to use with twitter in your iPhone, there are others as I posted before, but I think this is the most known, I’m talking about MobileTwitter and Twinkle.

First two weeks with my iPhone

May 18th, 2008 by sergi

As you readed, I’m a happy owner of an iPhone and I’ll try to resume some thoughts of the first two weeks with that gadget.

First of all I have to say I’m very happy with the purchase but the phone have some lacks like the camera quality but it’s enough to make some quick shots. Multimedia messagin’ is not supported out of the box but installing a program you can get it. At first contact, write with the keyboard is a bit difficult but after two days or some sms’ you get it and becomes the most wonderful writin’ experience I’ve ever had.

The quality of the sound in conversations it’s ok but the volume of the speaker are a little bit low, more volume don’t hurt anybody. Showing photos in the iPhone is a great experience and if you want to open the mouth of your friends or parents, do the zoom movement… terrific!

The most interesting and important thing iPhone has it’s the community behind the scene, with a program called Installer, you can install tons of programs, and day after day more programs are incoming.

Here and here at my flickr you can see some of the applications I’ve installed and a little explanation of it.

We are moving

May 7th, 2008 by admin

I’ve just purchased a hosting with namecheap, the same domain provider of visualDelusions.

Since now, the domain was ubicated on my own personal server but I’m tired and I don’t have time to maintain the server, so I’ve decided move the domain to a professional hosting. The package I’ve purchased is the basic and offers the following services at $2,91 per month or $39,95 per year:

  • 5 GB space
  • 250 GB transfer
  • 50 email accounts
  • 15 MySQL databases
  • 1 domain
  • 15 subdomains
  • 5 FTP users
  • and some email features like: 2000MB, unlimited aliases, webmail…

I pray a little of patience and if you find something wrong, please contact me via email. I’ll notice when the migration is complete.

Thank you all my readers :)
