Randomness

I've noticed that I haven't been using my iPad to blog of late. In fact, I think it's been sometime since the last post I made with it. Maybe the newness has worn off. Or maybe, it's because BlogPress mangled my post so horribly that I had to retype it >.< Honestly, it's probably both with a leaning towards the mangling as the reasons. Today, I decided to look around for a new blogging app and discovered that Posts is now free. It used to be $10 but for some reason, they've released it for free and there's no in-app purchases. I've found that some apps are free but require you to purchase it in-app if you want all the features and such. Posts is free free. You get all the features it has to offer immediately: no purchase required. I'll be giving it a try and if I'm happy, bye-bye BlogPress.

On the blogging front, Blogger is being a pain in the butt regarding stats. I keep telling it not to track my visits and yet, it still does >.< I have to carefully sift through the stats to determine if anyone else has been visiting my blog. I'm almost sure that even my previews of my posts are being included in my stats. It's just annoying.

I've locked in my class for next year. I'm happy ^_^ I'm going to try to make the most of my tech tools next year. It's not like I haven't been doing so already. But I want to carry less around with me: my satchel/messenger bag has grown heavy of late. I want to lighten it up a little or even better, a lot :P Afterwards, I'll update my page on my satchel's contents. It's been like a couple of years since I last did that.

Anyway, I'm hungry. I'm going to meet up with Yvonne and get some numnums ^_^

Packing day

I think I've got everything packed for camp now. My backpack probably weighs as much as me. Come to think of it, my backpack probably weighs as much as me empty >.< lol ^_^ I'm going low tech. Only my smartphone is coming. My laptop, iPad, Kindle, etc., stays here. Swamps don't like technology. They seem to go out of their way to kill technology >.<

About my future posts. I'll be gone about a week; so don't expect any. Afterwards, I'm not sure how often I'll be posting. Like I said awhile back, the one post a day thing can be tedious when I have nothing interesting to talk about. Well, nothing interesting to me to talk about. I might switch to a weekly summary post instead of a daily post. But, I'm thinking that those posts can get quite long if I have a lot to say. I don't know. I have about a week to think about it more, if I remember.

Well, I'm going to chill out before I have to leave. Lee's going to be over to come with us when mom takes me to the bus. It'll be over a week before I see any of my friends and family T_T I love them all <3

Three more days ^_^

In three more days, you'll stop reading my count downs since my dad will be here ^_^

Anyway, I'm doing this test post from my other iPad blogging app and I think I like this one better than Google's. That's sad. How can a company not release decent apps for their own products? I guess it's just comes down to money.

Lee works tonight, so I'm on my own later. Today is one of my short days, so I'll have about three hours after I get out before my friends get out. I have a few friends from the college, but they're not "friend" friends, more acquaintances than anything. It's almost 6am, so I had better get around for school.

New computer vs Apple stupidity

Back in July, my old computer's graphics card died. And because my computer was so old, we couldn't find a new card that was worth the money. So, mom and dad got me a new computer which blows away my old one ^_^ Anyway, I moved my important stuff from the old one to the new one and continued happily on my way with no problems. Until this morning. I plugged my iPad in to the new computer and iTunes pops up a message saying that my iPad was synced to a different iTunes library and asked if I want to erase it and sync with the new library. WTF? No! I don't want to lose all my stuff and have to set it all up again. So I cancelled out and googled my problem. Well, it's just not my problem. It appears tons of people have the same problem and that there is no solution but to wipe my iPad clean and sync with the new library. There are work arounds, but they fail most of the time. Those that succeed, only do so partially >.<

Sooooo, it looks like I need to backup iPad and start over from scratch, which isn't a bad thing. I will get rid of the cruft that I don't use on it and get back the space. But, still, it's the principle of the it all >.< Common Apple, get your head out of your butt and fix this BUG!

Second day of Summer Vacation

It clouded over yesterday afternoon but never really rained. It tried, tried hard to, but never happened. It still feels like it wants to this morning though. I kind of hope that it does; I like running in the rain. But only if it is warm rain ^_^

A note about my postings. My goal for this blog was to post at least once everyday while in school. I did that. Yay me ^_^ Now Summer is here and I have lots of things to do. I'll probably won't be posting daily during for a few months. There will be a time or two where I won't be posting for a week or two. It's kinda hard to do in the middle of the Everglades for example ^_^

Anyway, Sasha wants my attention now. She's kind of jelly of my iPad LOL ^_^

Doctor Who Marathon

We're doing another Dr Who marathon tonight. Besides Lee and myself, Yvonne and Kyle are here. Mom brought home pizza as usual; it is pizza night after all ^_^ We're in between episodes so I'm making this post quickly using my iPad ^_^ I did notice that the apps for it are much more expensive than for Android. Android apps are usually free to a couple of dollars. iOS apps are a couple of dollars and up. There are very few free ones that do anything useful. I had to buy an IRC program and an SSH program. iBooks are pricier too. Anyway, we're getting ready for the next episode of Dr Who. ^_^
