The One About WordPress 2.3

It took a long time, but I now have my blog running WordPress 2.3 and my theme has been updated to go along with it. If there is one thing that I love about the Web 2.0 style now, it's that everything gets tags. So, I was originally planning to get a tag plugin, but I read about some of them and they sounded quite complicated, and I assumed that they would be useless when this update came out. Luckily for users of tag plugins, WordPress 2.3 can import all the tags into the integrated tag library, though I wasn't entirely wrong. So, as you've probably noticed, there is now a line under my original post meta for tags, and clicking on one of them brings you to a page that shows the top three tags and links you to my Tag Cloud page. I decided not to have the entire tag cloud above the tag archives, it looked too cluttered and disorganized. It could be worked into some blogs, though, and putting in on a sidebar for just that page would look great. Check out the WordPress Codex page for the tag cloud WP Tag for how to go about doing that.

A Bizarre Turn of Events

I blame my friend, Harry, for my recent hatred towards racing games. I've never been that into the genre that much, so I had no intention to pick up Project Gotham Racing 3. If I had gotten a 360 at launch, that would have been a different story. My dad, however, is a huge racing fan. I'm no where as near as into it as he is, but I do love the BBC program Top Gear and I do enjoy watching Formula 1. It still came as a bit of a surprise, though, when my dad decided to buy the wireless racing wheel for the 360. He virtually doesn't game at all, and I didn't want it, so I have never really understood why he got it. One plus for me, though, was that it came with PGR3. I didn't really expect to get into the game, but for a while, I did. Once I got through the Arcade mode once on the Bronze, though, I just couldn't go back. Now, though, I wish I could, but there's kinda this thing about me not having a 360 right now that prevents that. Why? Probably the Bizarre Creations blog.

Refraining from Swearing

When you use someone for a service, especially a company that only does one thing, you expect it to be done right. You don't have to remind a car repair shop to fix your car, so could someone explain to me why I'm on the phone with Purolator, trying to find out why they didn't ship my Xbox yet? It's been almost two weeks since I shipped that, I got the box and dropped it off the same day -- their track record confirms that. What it also shows, unknown to me until this morning, is that it hasn't left that drop-off center yet! These past two weeks, I've been under the assumption that my box was in the mail, but it turns out that it is still sitting where I left it. On top of that, I can't even call and ...
