Loading Blog Error for WordPress app on my BB November 13, 2009

Filed under: Geek — prbylula @ 3:10 am

I am so tired of this TCP error message. ‘Tunnel failed’… was is that?

I already tried the two options listed on the WordPress FAQ:
In the WordPress app, click on Setup, and review the connections you want to enable. Unchecking “WAP’, for example, has helped resolve this issue for a few people. If that doesn’t help make sure that permissions are set correctly. On your BlackBerry, go to “Options > Advanced Options > Applications”. Scroll through the list and highlight and select “WordPress for BlackBerry”. Next, Click on the app, and choose Edit Permissions and ensure they are set to “Allow”

Neither of them worked for me. I am starting to feel kind of frustrating, I need this application to keep my blog updated.
Where are you (WP) people?

You can use them in 3 interesting ways:

1) Lists as a way of organizing your followers
2) Lists as a form of recommendation
3) Lists as a way of measuring influence.

Also if you find yourself following too many people this would be a really helpful tool.

Becoming a Fashion Victim November 2, 2009

Filed under: Personal Stuff — prbylula @ 9:10 pm

Definition of Fashion victims; are victims because they are vulnerable to faddishness and materialism, two of the widely recognized excesses of fashion, and consequently are at the mercy of society’s prejudices or of the commercial interest of the fashion industry, or of both.
According to Versace, “When a woman alters her look too much from season to season, she becomes a fashion victim.”

I absolutely disagree with this, its ok that we try a new haircut or new look, right?
I understand that not everyone is interesting in suffering from uncomfortable clothes, but not because we do wear ‘skinny jeans’ or some painful pair of shoes with ‘killer’ hells, we are fashion victims, ‘shopaloholism’ or a simple Jonas Brother’s Fan.
I believe we all need to ‘own’ a particular style, but please #freaks let us keep buying stupid stuff…

Here are some links to start with your NEW makeover and still be YOU, good luck!

The Smartphone for bloggers and geeks October 26, 2009

Filed under: Geek — prbylula @ 6:43 pm

My new social media weapon is finally a BlackBerry curve 8900.

After making a lot of research I’ve decided that my first smartphone should be a BlackBerry.
This model has all the typical devices of BB, but with a much more lightweight design, and a really long battery life. I’m making a complete use of it since yesterday morning :)

As far as now facebook, twitter and wordpress applications rocks!
The browser is big enough to navigate without becoming blind, and the media player has an AMAZING resolution.
And Ethernet and off course Wi-Fi connection work really fast.

I’m now installing the ‘Desktop Manager software’ so I’ll just keep loving my new phone… and sincerely ‘Live what I do’

Like any good addiction, the first step is always admitting you have it.
