Hello world!
Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!
This is actually here as I had some major problems with the latest Wordpress, so I downgraded. Now I'm running a stable version, sporting (another) new theme, a better iPhone/iPod Touch version, and the ability to change things.
All good really.
If a bit terrifying, especially without any database backups. It's all worked fabulously.
Plus, it deleted all the useless spam accounts that had built up recently.
So, overall, yeah. Sexy.

I'm not sure if it was the fact that Facebook now posts notes to everyone's home pages, but I had 7 comments in 24 hours. Which were also the first comments I've had in 10 months. Good times. =)
Anyway, today, I officially started revising.
I mainly did PA04 today, and by did, I mean I read through a revision book. I also watch six episodes of Mythbusters and four episodes of American Dad!
I then bought three tickets to see Lostprophets.
I then thought about extending my Wordpress blog to use Facebook Connect to allow anyone to comment on the blog with their Facebook details. In turn, it would allow people to post comments onto their Facebook profiles, and allow me to not have to use Notes on Facebook to show posts. In the end, I had three different plugins tried out, and though each would post, they all produced either: an ugly layout, 404 error messages, terrible speeds due to having to connect to Facebook multiple times, or bad user management.
One of my favourite plugins also allowed people to comment on Facebook, then also posting the comments locally on the blog, and vice versa, which I thought was very ninja. However, it didn't connect with the wall or peoples home pages, which made me sad.
However, at the end of five hours and three plugins, I came back with nothing. Apart from a new favicon. Which, you have to admit: it's pretty sexy.
Look at thatt. You know you love it.
In other news, whilst doing this waste of time, Apple hosted their annual WWDC keynote, which had a few good and exciting announcements.
Most of it to me, was truly useless.
However, the announcement of Snow Leopard for $29 was an amazing and epic announcement which made me happy, as I expected the price to be four times more expensive. Also, if I were an iPhone user, or a to-be iPhone user, OS 3.0 would make me pretty happy. However, the iPhone 3G S does look nice, but I can't afford it. Which sucks totally.
Now I'm watching Family Guy, and am off to bed (along with watching some more Mythbusters, American Dad! and probably listen to some Lady Gaga) so I can start learning PA07. I truly mean start. We have an awful, awful teacher.
Oh, more facts.
I have finally installed Windows XP. It took around 8 hours to sort out my problems.
I have completed 29 pages of C# 2008 for Dummies book, creating one program in the process.
I have added 181 songs from 16 different artists to my iTunes library.
I found out that Last.fm in Windows is much more functional than it is in Leopard.
I have changed the badges on my bag.
I have recorded 23 hours worth of television since we broke up from school five weeks ago.
I have gained 835 Gamerscore since we broke up from school five weeks ago.
I have upgraded Wordpress three times since we broke up from school five weeks ago.
I have baked cakes from three different kits, Dennis the Menace cupcakes, Mickey and Friends cupcakes, and Butterfly cupcakes. I have had the materials to make 34 cakes, yet produced only 31, as three Butterfly cakes fell out and burst whilst cooking.
I have been to Cannock four times, and Cannock Park three times. I have been to Birmingham and Stafford once. I have been to Lichfield five times, and Sutton Coldfield three times.
I have deleted 60 spam comments since we broke up from school five weeks ago. I am indifferent, spam is bad, traffic is good. I am also thankful for Akismet.
I have completed Half-Life, and finally completed Half-Life 2 Episode 2.
I have backed up 27 GB worth of content via two Time Machine backups since we broke up from school five weeks ago.
I have deleted 72 GB worth of content from my Mac from music, TV shows and general crap.
I have listened to 1193 songs since we broke up from school five weeks ago.
I have run out of things to write.

Ooh, I found my comments
Akismet is not being so silly anymore. Which is always nice.
Had to un-spam all of the comments though, which isn't good. All six comments. Strenuous work I tell you.
