Indenting WordPress Code

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

I use the following plugin for the highlighted code on this blog:

However, I found code was never indented properly. After rummaging around and reading a few other blogs it seems the answer is to wrap your Syntax Highlighting tags with the HTML ‘pre’ tags.

In my case that is like so:

Harmony!

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

A friend bought me a harmonica as a birthday gift yesterday. It’s a simple device with ten holes, breathing in or out on which will produce different sounds. So you’ve effectively got 20 notes to play with. Producing chords is quite easy, just play through multiple holes at once.

The brand is German, after speaking with a German fellow tonight I discovered the instrument is quite popular over there. Go figure!

So far I’ve been reading tutorials on how to hold the instrument and the skills one should build. Via personal experimentation though I’ve discovered the most critical requirement to learning the harmonica:

  • Put a Bob Dylan album on before you start.

Haircut wait

Saturday, August 9th, 2008

I’ve been served a pretty terrible attempt at a latte while I’m waiting for my hairdresser appointment. Luckily I have the iPhone to keep me company.

3g works fine in this store and I gtalked successfully to friends via gtalk. However, 3g on the train was pretty unstable. Until optus improves the network I think I’ll be sticking to emails on the train while it’s at the stations.

I’ve also bought a case for it, the brand is griffin if your looking for one. I’d say it’s the best I’ve seen so far.

Lastly, let’s try uploading photos of my new cut from the iPhone :)

iPhone delight

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Well the Tele-choice where I purchased my iPhone from gave me a call today and I picked up my new phone shortly afterwards.

I’m truly shocked at how clever the keyboard is on this device. I’m actually misspelling every second word but it’s auto correcting marvellously.

I look forward to testing out the 3g on the train tomorrow.
