Sorry to go on about Google, but I have another head-scratching query.

I did search earlier for a post of mine.. Google found it, but also said:

Did you mean to search for: http://www.artiss.co.uk/2008/03/website-performance

Now I knew what would happen if I clicked on this. Sure enough:

No results found for http://www.artiss.co.uk/2008/03/website-performance.

So… so… why suggest to me, when an exact match had been found already, a link that didn’t actually exist?

Worst of all, Google then proceeds to state “However, there are results from websites with similar addresses” and, yes, then lists my original URL.

Does anybody understand this crazy logic?

Only just noticed (on a random trawl of the web) that the Guardian did an article about Sky box upgrading and mentioned my website.

Yes, mine. Not anybody else’s. Mine.

Makes ya proud, it does.

Although I would like to point out that the “huge” 250 GB hard drive upgrade that they mention is, well, nothing. With Copy+ you can put a 1 TB drive in. Oh yes.

I mentioned the other day that I had “mobilised” this website, so it appears appropriately on, well, mobile phones. The plugin I used in this case is WordPress Mobile Plugin.

However, it’s since occured to me that the ability to actually write entries on my mobile might be handy too (particularly as I now have my Bluetooth keyboard) – the aforementioned plugin doesn’t add that functionality. Some scratching around this morning (including a plugin that simply wouldn’t activate because it caused a “fatal error”) I found something called WPhone Admin Plugin. This works a treat, although it renders it in a very simple wap-style format (which is weird, but according to their forums appears to be the case on the N95).

However, I also tried something called, grandly, “WordPress Ultimate Gamer’s Pack“. It’s supposed to display your page more appropriate on portable devices – specifically the Nintendo DS, Wii and Sony PSP. I activated it and tried it on my Wii… database error. Can’t be good. Deactivated it and all is now well. Hmm.

This mobile malarkey isn’t as simple as you’d think, is it?
