Cool! Free case from Apple arrived earlier than expected…
Supposedly 3-4weeks, been about a week! Feels plasticky but quite nice!
Fabric-backed protection

Love the packaging tho, like a cookie box

Panoramic Fun

Carpark, Sendai, Japan

Spot my ride! (: Taken w/ iPhone 3GS
One of the things I love about Japan is everyone prefers REVERSE PARKING!
Safer and saves time!
Click on the picture for full view @ 1600 x 348

Pano is a really fun app on the iPhone, it stitches up easily too!
Cross process was edited with the Camera+ app
Was using Cropulator to resize these panoramic images, so I could blog on the go with the WordPress app, but while uploading the edited version (which was resized in Cropulator to a width of 950 for my layout), WordPress did not acknowledge that

It only gave me the option to upload to the preset sizes of Small (240×180) / Medium (480×360) / Large (640×480) and Original (2048×1536) thus stretching my re-sized picture to those dimensions
I also tried specifying the height and width tags in the html code but with no luck, because the images were all stretched / distorted during the conversion by WordPress which is very odd

I hope WordPress can fix this issue and upload my re-sized picture correctly otherwise higher compression would be adequate (a normal iPhone image uploaded as Medium compressed to around 350kb, that’s kinda big for 480 x 360 and 240 x 180 is way too small for blogging content)

Oh well, maybe it’s a bug! I will look for a solution and update on it
Meanwhile, back to resizing on the Mac w/ Photoshop

Just realised my last post was the 100th post!
Been 2 years, that’s an average of 1 post per week *lol*

Anyhow thanks to the Feedjit Live Traffic Feed (located at the bottom), I realised my visitors were getting a lot of 404 error pages
Due to my itchy hands for changing the permalinks structure from /%category%/%postname%/ to /%postname%/

2 weeks!!! and I just found out today, *my apologies for the delay*
Don’t fret, I have since fixed the issue – it is to use Permalinks Migration Plugin for wordpress

Permalinks Migration Plugin for WP

All you gotta do is enter your old permalinks structure and wait a few minutes after applying the changes

There are many other ways, such as editing .htaccess and using mod_rewrite with 301 Permanent Redirect but this is the most painless and quickest way!

If you have to redirect a specific post, you can use a 301 Permanent Redirect
