I came across this cool little iPhone app in my recent adventures into the world of distractedness. A growl client for the iPhone.
I recently moved my blog away from Joomla and over to WordPress.
This was for several reasons:
1. Joomla is a pain in the bum for blogging. Its too complex for a blog and I keep forgetting the differences between a “com”, “module” and a “plugin”.
2. Upgrading is a pain in the bum. I just recently noticed that half my content went missing as part of a recent upgrade.

Heck, it should work for anything really.
If you have an iPAQ installed with familiar Linux and want it to connect to the net using your Nokia mobile via GPRS; then this is how you do it.
