blogging, squarespace, themes

So, what do you think of the new theme? I fancied something a little different and it sure is that!
Not sure if it’s a keeper yet, but I’ll try it out for a while.
I had a quick play with SquareSpace over the weekend. It does look pretty neat, but I’m not sure it’s really worth the $14 a month you’d need to pay to get a custom URL. It was pretty easy to import my blog from here, although the images needed some work to remove some tags. Overall, nice as it is, there’s nothing shouting “Wow, this is amazing. I must move over right away”, so I’ll be here for a while longer at least.
fm transmitter, iphone, ipod, last.fm

I love Last.FM. I’ve discovered some great artists that I’d probably never have heard of otherwise.
I recently inadvertently trashed the music library on my iPhone – apparently the iTunes database had become corrupt. I’d been listening to my iPhone in the car using one of those nifty FM transmitters that lets you listen through your car radio, so was a bit miffed at not having my collection available, when I suddenly remembered Last.FM. So, I connected everything up and set off on my journey and am delighted to report that everything worked smoothly! There were a few drop-outs on a 2 and a half journey, but it soon recovered.
This is one of those things that, when you think about it, is pretty amazing. There I was, in my car, streaming my own personal radio station over the Internet to my phone, then broadcasting that via FM to my car radio. That’s pretty impressive in my book.
