I haven’t done a “personal” update for some time now, so I thought I’d briefly brush over our recent lives. The photo you can see on the left is the current state of our new house that is being built in the new Dickens Quarter development in Portsmouth

I realised the other day that breakfast cereals no longer contain toys. The popular opinion seems to be either health & safety, or cutting back on costs. I’d probably go with the former as some numpty parent probably tried to sue some cereal maker for trying to bring a bit of joy into a child’s life… Anyway, I sent messages to Kellogg’s and Nestlé via their websites, and I actually got a (rubbish) response from Nestlé’s consumer relations department… Dear James We have taken the decision to move away from offering promotions that directly appeal to children.

I’ve been trying to update my wordpress blogs from various versions like 2.5 and 2.7 to the newest 2.8 for a while now, but was never able to do it automatically. Every time I pressed the “upgrade automatically” button, it told me it was downloading the latest file from Wordpress, but it never got any further than that. I logged in to my site using my FTP client and found a 0KB sized file called wordpress2.8.zip in the wp_content folder, so I thought I’d found the issue – maybe the script can’t actually download the file and save it to disk because of permissions

If you find that your iPhone/iPod Touch isn’t displaying the album artwork in coverflow, but your computer that you sync it to shows it fine in iTunes, you’re probably wondering what’s going on! This happened to me a few days ago, so I did some searching - most people seem to think it’s only just started happening in the latest versions of iTunes and on iPhones/iPod Touches with the 2.2 firmware on - I didn’t notice it happening before I upgraded my firmware, but then I only noticed it happening now by chance, so I can’t really say if what these people are saying is true. Anyway, it’s a solution you came here for, so here goes
