iOS 4.2 on my iPad…

I upgraded to the iOS 4.2 the other day (the evening it came out in the UK). Steve Jobs reckons, “iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product”. Maybe I don’t use it the same as everyone else in Apple-land, but it seems just… kinda… no freaking different…

I really don’t understand how I can remain completely immune to the Apple marketing hype when I’m desperately trying to be assimilated. I keep buying their products and waiting for a Jobsian flash of magic but it’s just not happening. What have I got to do to? Marry the guy?

Maybe it’s like enlightenment and the more you try the harder it is to reach. I shall meditate for a month with my iPad balanced on my head, my MacBook Pro on my lap and my iPod Shuffle up my ass. Maybe then I will understand all the heavenly glory that is Apple, or maybe I’ll just get a sore ass… 🙁

Thank heavens for backups… (phpBB 3.0.7)

This evening I noticed (a few days late) that phpBB 3.0.7 has been released.

I did my normal thing of upgrading, only to find my forum was trashed. Luckily for me I had a backup (file system and database) of the forum and with a little tweaking it was all restored, then upgraded again.

Bye the way, there was nothing wrong with the upgrade process itself. I just made a mistake during it.

Another reminder that one of the most important things you have is your backups! 🙂

Cheers
