Swype

Now, for those of you who haven't heard of swype, I suggest you head on over to http://swypeinc.com and take a look, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I think the beta is open for another couple of days.

Essentially, it allows you to "swype"over the word your want to type and, somehow, it works! Though it does appear that it's only available for android at the moment, unfortunately.

And yes, this entire post was written from swype on my phone.

WordPress 3.0 Upgrade

So as I'm sure a great many of you are all aware of, WordPress 3.0 has been released, fixing a number of new bugs, bringing some new features...and probably bringing new bugs (it's to be expected, let's be honest), though I'm sure that won't get advertised!

As I upgraded, I decided to change my theme. I quite like the new theme, it makes a change to have a bit of colour on my blog, which I quite like, though I do still have the old theme kicking around on the server, should I decide to change my mind. Another change, is the VPS on which this blog is hosted, which is now hosted by Fivebean. So far, no real issues, the minor issue I initially had was dealt with promptly and explained thoroughly, I'd definitely recommend giving Fivebean a look if you're in the market for a VPS :)

I do have one small issue currently, which I'm not sure whether it is being caused by WordPress, PHP, Apache, or the VPS setup on Fivebean's part, whereby directly after a reboot the RAM usage sits at around 300MB, and refreshing the WP dashboard causes usage to jump upwards by around 200MB. Now I know WordPress likes its RAM, but not that much, it certainly wasn't an issue on the old VPS. Anyway - more news on that as it comes.
