The olympic logo is, well, a mess. I thought it was a very late April Fools joke when I first saw it. What *were* they thinking! The only thing more vomit inducing than the logo itself was Tony Blair's quote regarding it... <strong>When people see the new brand, we want them to be inspired to make a positive change in their life.</strong> Um, yeah. Hello hello, Jon.

That is shockingly bad! Evening :-)

The 20 API requests is not good and I sincerely hope that will be increased *very soon*. If it remains at 20 for much longer then the forthcoming Twitterrific iPhone app is just simply going to be unusable. They never give updates on the API or seem to have any plan in place to get that increased. Very messy. Twitter is a skeleton service right now.

I'm not savvy in any kind of computer coding, programming or whatever makes Twitter work, but what I cannot get my head round is why such a popular service is allowed to go down as often as it does. Surely, there should be measures in place to stop these things, I would happily give a donation to help them buy whatever it takes to make the service stable. It's only recently, since I haven't really been able to use a desktop client, that I have become seriously annoyed with the downtime. Anyway, I shouldn't rant about something I don't know about. That being said, I really hope they sort out their problems soon. Good find!

I haven't noticed it too much up to now, but it is starting to grate. They MUST sort it out. I love twitter, and have dabbled with friendfeed etc, but the latter is almost TOO much info and interference. It does seem to be VERY flaky at the moment, certainly more so than before.

Seems strange - the O2 router doesn't mind my Mac. *puts on networking hat* It could be that the MTU size needs changing up a bit. On Windows for example, it's default is 1500, but on the Mac it's slightly lower at 1492. Make a note of what it was originally and change it about a bit - only slightly, though: if you go too far down or too far up, you'll have complete disconnection. Not sure where to find the MTU size - it's presumably in http://o2wirelessbox.lan - but if not, O2 are open 24/7 on 0800 230 0202. *takes off networking hat* AJ out. @Rob…

I also installed Inquisitor 3 - http://www.inquisitorx.com/safari/ - which I used briefly before switching fully to Camino a couple of years ago. Loving that :) Just a quickie to say I’ve been using Safari for a couple of days now and I have no intention of giving it up.

I have entries on my PowerBook calendar that never gets entered into my iMac or iPod touch, so it'll be a big thing to shortly be able to do that.

I checked and media-upload.php is already in my list (that was actually the first one I ever put into the code as I had trouble with media-upload after upgrading to WP 2.5) so it's a bit odd why it's now not working when nothing has been changed. I also had someone e-mail me today saying they too are experiencing the media-uploads.php error and wanted to know how to fix it. Strange happenings indeed.

As it happens (sheer coincidence) I've been asked about that on my 406 error post so I'll have to have a look and work out which file is used. I'll let you know once I work it out tomorrow, too late now! :) Change that, they gave me the filename, it's media-upload.php :) Oh and no problem replying this time.
