New Site Complete!

My new website is complete and this blog has been added to it. Check out www.peter-baker.me.uk and let me know what you think!

How to get in contact!

Due to my laptop screen issue as posted below, I will not be able to answer usual emails. For that reason make sure that you contact pete-the-tech@3mail.com

The Broken Laptop Screen

This is how my current laptop screen looks after it got pulled off the table by its power cord after a big trip over. So i am ok but laptop is not.

Phone Image

Here is an image I found on my phone and thought it was worth sharing.

Maybe not?

Well I tried to do the blog bits up in a few ways, so far it seems I have the answer and for the last however many hours I have been working on this other method. And what a pain in the ass its been too.

I now have a duplicate of this blog on my own site, but how its being displayed is not really what I had in mind. So its off to tweek land for me to get this sorted.

Blog Tests Almost Complete

I have been working on my blog bits for the last few hours and hopefully as of this post things should be working well. However it seems I am going to need to post a few messages to double check some settings. So here is my first test message. If this works then the next post you will see will be a new URL.

Time to cross our fingers!

Mobile Blogging and Me

Yup another issue it seems, as you may have noticed a pink limo image has appeared along with another cat and dog image. These were uploaded direct from my phone as part of my mobile blogging tests.

Of course image posting now works. BUT I have now found out I can only post to the blog as long as I include an image, pain in the butt if you ask me.

So I began looking into other methods, like SMS, MMS and guess what. It seems my mobile provider isn't supported and the only way I can post is by using the phones inbuilt blogging feature.

Now because of that I am going to be looking into other ways of mobile blogging. For example I did see a post on the Blogger Google Group about posting with Gmail and that got me thinking if I could actually post with my phone in email mode. Will test that shortly and see how it goes.

Hmm... That's Interesting!

Now here is an interesting thing I have going right now. As some of you already know I have my own personal site. And one thing I have been looking into is getting this blog to be part of my site. On first look it seems I can add the blog as long as I give it a dedicated section. But is that really what I want to do? Umm,,, Not really.

I am hoping to include this blog both on the front page in a kind of RSS way while keeping it open up to my new site design (currently in progress) But here is where things get a little fuzzy.

Blogger will allow you to post to FTP but on doing so, your old blog stops working and even gets removed. Not exactly what I want.

The exact way in which this will all work is not set it stone it seems, and if I do attempt it. Things may go horribly wrong. So for that reason I am going to build a test site and if it all works out I should have this blog linked up with my personal site.

SecondLife

I have recently got back into SecondLife where I initially registered to back in December 2006, however at the time I registered I didn't really have the time to get into it as needed. So last December (2007) I was looking around my emails and noticed one from SecondLife, as I looked into it I realised I had already been on it and had completly forgotten about it.

Needless to say I proceeded to install the client and try to login and have a look around. Took me all of 10 minutes to get back into the thing and boy oh boy I started remebering what I did before.

I used to visit a place called CannaCabanna which is a Cannabis hangout, as you could call it. I remembered how it used to look, a small groovy place. But damm now is a huge place with a good few visitors all the time. So because of that great improvement I decided to try and stick around, get to know a few there and get more knowledge and experience. Within a few days I had all the basics tucked in nicely and I was flying around (literally) getting this done.

In my time within SL I have met a fair few good people. Of course like any community you do get the bad ones.

Anyway enough of the chat, straight to the point. As of now I own land within SL which is being used as a shop area curently, that will soon be updated and added to and evan a dedicated site will be launched.

More info soon!

Yikes!!!

I cant believe I have left this do absolutly nothing. Oh well, hopefully I can stay on top of it this time.

OK so it's been some time since I really did any major updates to any of my sites. And to be honest, I have noticed more recently that I have got my own database of sites, all run by me or by my company.

Infact I keep loosing count, but that's not all, I register on so many sites it becomes real hard to keep up. So hopefully I have a plan in the pipeline! (wait, did he just say another plan? it'll never happen)

Currently I am not sure how I am going to interlink all my things, but I will be looking into that soon enough.

I will be splitting my items into two sections, personal and buisness. Both sets of items will be placed on my personal blog, which is currently here, and all the buisness side of things will have its own company blog.
