iPhone 4 and Nike+

August 13, 2010

Switching from 3GS to 4 is pretty easy as I said here. While using it there are couple things to do which are, for security reasons, good design.

  1. enter password again for all my email accounts
  2. enter password again for iTunes account (it prompted me that my device is new) before I could purchase App, first one I purchase is of course this one for bumper
  3. re-link my Nike+ stride sensor

I didn’t know I have to link again my stride sensor so this morning I ran without Nike+ App.    When I walked around trying to pair it didn’t work and the Nike+ App on/off was grayed out.   I had to do this

  • turn off the App by double-clicking the home button, if the App is on, turn it off
  • at setting>Nike+>turn it OFF
  • turn off the phone
  • turn on the phone
  • at setting>Nike+>turn it ON
  • at the same page click Sensor>Link New
  • walk around with the senor to pair
  • done, happy running

Nike+ couldn’t pair with sensor, new iPhone 4 first run, light shower, A/MHR = 150/162, score 70%

Goodbye Slicehost

June 9, 2010

On 10 November 2007 I signed up Slicehost, a VPS provider, they were very hot at the time I had to sign up a reservation and waited for a while before I was given my slice.

Today I terminated the service, I enjoyed 31 months of good service, I don’t need them now.

Not moving now

March 26, 2010
I wrote earlier today

Can someone confirm my understandings in my below 2 emails? I’ll be removing mapping of he dot was359 dot net and proceed to mapping my other domain am dot notsowise dot net which will be permanent and final move, I need your help for that. Please confirm.

This is my 3rd email in last 24 hours.

I also found that even if I pay $14.97 per year for custom CSS edit I’ll still be using one of the 85 themes, i.e. I won’t be able to upload my own theme.

I then wrote to support requesting refund of my $9.97, everything stays the same for now!

Excuse Me

January 22, 2009

My server just suffered a crash due to a very high CPU load. Upon a hard and a soft boot it went back to normal again.

Found out from ‘top’ that php-cgi was consuming exceptionally high loads when the home page of my custom theme was loaded. All other WordPress sites that I’m hosting have not suffered from this problem.

This could be a theme specific problem so the safe bet for now is using the default theme. The header is in a mess I know and I’ll fix that later when I have time.

[Edited: now using this modified K2 theme with my custom theme functions all commented out for the moment, these functions appear to be driving php-cgi crazy when they are loaded. The misery is that why all in a sudden this became a problem as I must have these functions in use for many months. Perhaps I need to revisit slice optimization again such as this one. ]
