I just upgraded my blog from WordPress 1.2 to 1.5. As expected, the actual upgrade was very smooth, and it really didn't take longer than a few minutes. In the next few days, I'll need to play with WordPress's new theme mechanism to customize the design of my blog....

I received my iPod on Wednesday and wanted to briefly share my first impressions (mind you, I have only used it for about 2 days now, and I haven't really had a chance to load it up yet). The iPod is a very nice gadget. It is extremely well made and has a very intuitive user interface....

I finally gave in and bought an iPod, kind of as a belated birthday present to myself... Most of my colleagues have one, and I guess I was feeling left out. :) I think my timing was pretty good, as Apple just restructured the pricing for their numerous iPod models....

While I've been pretty successful in suppressing comment spam, I still seem to have some trouble with trackback spam. I believe there are some decent WordPress solutions out there now, but I haven't really had a chance to play with them....

Argh... My wife caught a virus on her laptop. It looks like it came in using some IE exploit, and the fact that the latest Windows security updates were not installed probably didn't help... I've installed a better virus scanner and hope that I can still fix everything without having to reinstall Windows....
