If you own an Android phone (or iPhone or Blackberry) and also post articles on a WordPress based website then the new WordPress App is for you! Some time ago I believe I mentioned that I had discovered this app but i never really got in depth other then to say that I loved it. For those of you who cant simply take my word for it, I decided I should probably give it the proper review that it deserves. Now is a great time to do so because a new even more awesome version was just released yesterday! I’ll first just go over some of its features.
- Supports Multiple accounts and/or Multiple Websites
Pretty self explanatory but basically you save your login info for whatever accounts you have and you can pick which one to manage. On mine, I have one set up for my administrator account for TheJawatech.com and I have another set up for my editor account on 979Represent.com When I open the app it asks me which one I want to use.
- Add and Manage New Posts
Once you choose which account you wish to use, You have the option to manage your posts. Just click on the posts tab and you’ll see a list of all your posts. You’ll even see the unpublished ones. From here you can create a new post or open up one thats already started and edit away. Everything is like you imagine it should be. You’ve got your bold, Italic, URL, and block quote buttons to help with formatting. You can add pictures from your phone to your posts here and even choose what category and tags your post should be linked to. Another great thing is you can choose whether to publish it or not. Once you are done you tap save and it saves the file to your local drafts on your phone. If you want to put it on your server but dont want to publish it yet you could also just click Upload Now. If you want it uploaded to the server AND published right away you can also check the publish box and then click upload now. Whatever floats your boat. If you change your mind later you can change all of this from the list of posts by simply clicking on the post and going back to edit.
- Add and Manage New Pages
This works exactly the same way as managing posts. See above for details.
- Manage Comments
You can manage global comments and you can manage comments for each post and or page. Read comments and approve and or reply to them right then and there. You can completely delete comments if you want and you can also mark them as spam right from your phone. How cool is that?!
- Upload Pictures and Video directly from phone into a New Post
This is the newest feature that was just added in version 1.1.3 and its a really good one. Say you just took a video or picture of something really cool and you want to show everyone. Well from the picture preview you choose share, and just like you would post on twitter or facebook, You can post as a new article on your website. When you choose WordPress from the share list it brings up a box and asks you which blog account you want to use and BAM! your at the new post editor screen! Picture already attached. All you gotta do is give it a title and add some content if you want and your ready to upload to the web server! It’s Super Handy if your a picture freak like myself. I see all kinds of things that need lots of explaining. Sometimes you just see something that requires a caption way more then 115 characters. Sometimes you need to write a story about it. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well now you have room to write an odyssey of a description if you choose to do so. It can be hectic typing so much text on a tiny phone but if you’ve got nothing else to do and your away from a computer its a great productive way to spend your time. Another important note is that this feature also works with URL’s, Youtube, Google Places Directory, and many other apps. If it’s got a share button, WordPress will be on that share list!
Also It’s totally free! At least it’s free on the Android Market. I’m not sure if the iPhone market charge you extra or not so you’ll just have to go check it out and see. It’s Probably free.. anyway Go check it out! Have fun!

Fishing at Lake Somerville. All I caught was a stick, some dirt, a bag of pond scum, and also a cold. It was fun though 
Is your computer slowing down more and more? Does it completely shut down for no reason? Dust. A computers worst enemy. Often misdiagnosed as a virus, these symptoms are caused by overheating. Most computers are air cooled. Youve got big heat sinks and fans that work hard to keep your computer cool. Computers absolutly HATE heat. The colder they are the better. All that air pushing through collects dust on everything. The more dust that clogs up your cooling system the hotter your computer will get. The hotter it gets, the slower it gets and if it gets too hot you start to damage components. If your computer just turns off suddenly all by its self, it may be because it is overheating. When was the last time you took YOUR computer apart to clean your heat sinks? Most people are surprised to learn that dust maintenance is needed quite often. I clean my computer at least every month. If you smoke inside your computer will get dusty even faster. Never cleaned it?! Ever?! Well better get to it! If you need help or have questions let me know, I’m here to help!

Fall back and spring foward. Why do we do this? Ask anyone you know and most people will give you all kinds of half-assed answers. “Farmers need more time for crops. Because of the earths wobble. To make the day longer. Because that’s just how it is” ect. Most people really don’t have a clue. I understand that throughout the year, the durration of day time vs night time varies. What I don’t understand is why we change our clocks. Your not making the day longer or shorter. You are changing a damn clock. From what I gather it seems that the main reason is to keep people’s schedual synchronized with the earths daylight cycles making sunset occur at the same time year round. That just seems pointless to me. First of all It’s constantly a variable. The earth doesn’t just click over into winter mode one day. Its a gradual process. Why can’t we just leave it alone? Quit screwin’ around and pick one. Set it and forget it. Who gives a shit if its dark sometimes at 6pm and sometimes at 7pm. If your schedule is affected by the changing seasons then adjust your damn schedule. Why make everyone else’s life more complicated?
Fun fact: Arizona doesn’t fuck around with daylight savings time and neither does most of the rest of the world. Why? BECAUSE IT’S FUCKING STUPID!
If you know me personally, you probibly know how I feel about humanity. If you look at all of us as a whole we kinda suck. Most people are stagnant and content to live a simple life, get old, have kids, and die. Most people hold on to old methods and ideals and do a great job of hindering those of us who wish to evolve above and beyond. Why do we get old? Why do we die? Almost everyone will answer theses questions with “because we have to”. Another majority will take it a step farther and bring religion into it. Well I’m here to say FUCK THAT. Mankind has overcome a great deal in our hundreds of thousands of years of existance. We have the capability to repair ourselves indefinatly. We have the ability to cure cancer, aids, organ failure and every disease known to man. Think I’m full of it? The reason you haven’t heard about it yet is because human cloning and stem cell research is considered a big no no. Do you people have any idea what your throwing Away? Religion again. Jewish fucking Christ. Don’t cure cancer or Santa’s gonna spank you over his knee. I plan to live forever.. or die trying. Think about it. Oh no my heart sucks, well literally rub some stem cells on it and your good to go. Congradulations on growing back your damaged cells, this baby Ticks like new. When people think about living forever they think of it like a magical curse. Its not like you would be Forced to live forever. Just stop healing yourself and get old like primitive folk do. Religion will never let this happen though so forget about it. They don’t want humanity to get that awesome because that would just blow their fucking mind. When electricity was discovered and harnessed people thought OMG its the devils work! Its new and confusing! The Bible never talked about THIS shit! Well it never talked about dinosaurs either so shut the fuck up and quit HINDERNG EVOLUTION. I have come to the conclusion that I am severely out numbered. The majority of humanity is simply not going to allow me to achieve the Everlasting Cybernetic Leetness that I desire. My only hope is to band together with others who share my ideas. I’m going to have to just leave the fucking planet and start over somewhere else. Maybe build our own space station or whatever. Ill go where ever i have to to live without religion and other morons fucking with me. If it sounds crazy then your not invited lol.
I have a very hard time working with people that can’t seem to think outside the box. Today at work our boss sent the entire department to one dorm to figure out a strange problem. Something has caused every device on the 3rd floor to short out and die. I have offered suggestions to the group that seem resonable but because I am younger, and still an apprentace, no one gives a shit.
so rather then try and find the cause of the problem, we are replacing every Single fried device with a new one. No one will listen to a word I have to say unless I talk to each person in private. Even then, everyone is content to just replacing everything to see what happens. Of coarse we will have to replace them anyway, but who’s to say that whhen it powers back up that it won’t just fry the new devices?! Throwing parts at something is NOT how you solve problems. That would be like if a doctor said, “Well, looks like your bleeding a bunch. Better give you more blood.” Forget about that severed arm, just replace the blood. Then have a meeting of other head scratching doctors and talk about “We can’t figure out what that problem is none; he just keeps bleedin.”
So whatever. If they want to do it this way that’s how its going to be. I’m just going to do what I’m told and laugh my ass off when at the end of the day it frys it all again. Hopefully it won’t because its a Pain in the ass, but if it does…. oh how I will laugh.
