Posted by trent on Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

I was reading a really wicked post from Collin about posting your facebook status on wordpress.com since the plugins out there and the typical facebook badges are not something that wordpress.com blogs can have.
Just found out after researching some more that the facebook badges are no longer just javascript, but also an image that updates [...]

Technical Theme Difficulties

Posted by trent on Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

If you were viewing my site in the past couple of hours, you would have noticed that it was completely screwed up.  I just enabled the Custom CSS upgrade for wordpress.com and have it to thank for my misery.
I really don’t understand why just by enabling it, it screws up your current [...]

Facebook Apps Killing Me

Posted by trent on Monday, August 27th, 2007

I know that facebook has a great API that allows anyone to create a new application for Facebook. This has some tremendous possibilities to extend facebook to do some really amazing things! I am all for this!

If You’re Gonna Leave

Posted by trent on Sunday, August 12th, 2007

This is my quick version of If You’re Gonna Leave by Emerson Hart. It was recorded on my ovation on my Macbook not using my fancy equipment. Rough and dirty version until I can record it properly on iMac and Logic.
Many of you might know Emerson Hart whether you [...]

Telus Woes…

Posted by trent on Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

I have been having all kinds of issues with Telus lately. Considering they are one of the big providers of mobile communications in this country, they have yet to come up with a good solution to having multimedia and PDA services. Let me explain.

Back On Wordpress.com

Posted by trent on Monday, August 6th, 2007

I decided to put my main blog back on wordpress.com so that I can benefit from the community more. It is OK being self-hosted, but wordpress.com is a great service! I recommend that if you don’t have a blog already, you should signup for one!

It is well worth the price [...]

Posted by trent on Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

“Woke Up This Morning”I paid my last respects this mornin’ on an early grave

Well I’m hating, all of this
I’m hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I [...]
