I did a minor refresh to the site today by updating the banner photo that pops up on the majority of the site. As I have said it would be nice to make it more automatic and rotational, but at least now I only have to change one file and it cascades across the site. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since I went…
June 7, 2011Getting ready to update the site to MT 5.1. I am hoping this will fix the iPad blogging interface issue I have been having. Pardon the dust while I work, and I will update when it is all ready and complete.. Update: 5.1 is up and running! On my first attempt to edit the blog entry with the iMT plugin turned off, I couldn’t edit…
May 28, 2011I can’t believe it has already been a month since the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake struck on March 11, 2011. The country is still reeling from aftershocks, over 50 m6+ since the m9 mainshock struck. Already, PBS’ NOVA had a show on the quake called Japan’s Killer Quake which was very good. NatGeo and Discovery also have their Quake specials coming – NatGeo’s is this…
April 11, 2011This is my first attempt at a so-called “unboxing” video, and the first video that I created with me in it to appear on YouTube. I set up the ClubJoshTV account (since someone inexplicably took ClubJosh as an account name – grr) to post videos that I took on some of my trips. Like most grand master planned things, it is on the back burner,…
March 25, 2011After setting up some magazines and some other showcase apps on my new iPad 2, I decided to start setting up programs on the iPad to help it replace my laptop on trips. First up was blogging. Little did I know how difficult it was going to be. I had expected to use the normal MT interface to post to the Daily Update. The plan…
March 23, 2011Once again, I have witnessed one of the largest recorded earthquakes of all times. It is interesting comparing the coverage of the Tohoku Quake to the Andoman-Nicobar Quake of 2004. Back in 2004 it took more than a day for networks to start covering the quake and the first grainy videos came to life. Now in 2011, the age of YouTube, we get instant coverage…
March 12, 2011I am attempting to write an entry on my iPhone in preparation for getting an iPad. I’ve had mixed success trying to blog from my phone so I thought I’d give it a shot again. In completely useless info department, today I identified a map publisher just by looking at the layout and fonts. I felt all proud of myself until someone else pointed out…
February 24, 2011It’s the 1,000th post here to the Daily Update! I have finally started the process of creating a native iOS version of the Club Josh website. Something I have been wanting to do since the iPhone App store started back in 2008. I missed the gravy train for app developers, but as much as I would love to have created something people would spend .99…
February 16, 2011This past week, Daniel and I ventured to the San Bernardino Mountains to visit Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead. The Family tells me that I visited them when I was a kid, but sadly I cannot remember that save for a few random snow memories. A few years back, I told Daniel and Leslie that if they wanted to visit real snow, we needed to…
