Wordpress ♥ iPhone
After receiving an iPod Touch 16GB model as a Xmas present from work (!) . I totally fell in love with it. I always bring my iPod with me when I have to go travel by train 
When I heard T-Mobile licensed the NEW iPhone 3G model in The Netherlands I was overjoyed. I’ve been with T-Mobile for quite some years and I love the service. I thought the iPhone was ok, but I didn’t plan on changing my subscription. Now that T-Mobile has licensed the iPhone 3G model and will be the only telecom company with this phone - I can simply choose the phone with the renewal of my current contract 
Which will be in September ~
I thought the phone was pretty ok with all it’s (add on) applications, but when I surfed to to website of Wordpress, I found a very nice surprise: Wordpress for iPhone !!! Hahahah~ now I’m definitely going to get me an iPhone *woot* woooot*
Traktor 3
In an earlier post I wrote about getting my hands on Traktor 3 some very hot DJ software :saylove: Even though I wanted to start practicing back in September, school stuff sucked me up and I only looked at the program from time to time *sigh* I planned on practicing a lot and when I would be somewhat good enough I could set-up a server and do some DJ gigs in Second Life 
Probably sometime next year or so I thought … One of my good friends in SL is a DJ and has his own internet radiostation (!) He told me he set up an icecast server which is able to handle the internet broadcasting from Traktor 3. He also wanted to test if it all worked, especially with that specific program since he uses a whole different - more professional - program to play and stream his music!
So we took a look at my Traktor 3 install and set it up so I could stream my music to the internet. Even though connecting to the server was ok, I forgot one important setting …
If you want to stream music to internet (1) the first step is to fill in your broadcasting settings that can be found under preferences. (2) After that make the audio recorder panel appear by clicking on an empty spot, ‘right click’ on ‘audio recorder’. A new panel will appear .. you can see a small icon resembling a broadcasting tower hit that and when it burns red you’re ready to go! BUT …
What if you’re friends aren’t able to hear your hot mixing with Traktor 3 and you are definitely connected to your server ?!!!!!!
Gahhh ~ my problem exactly
But wait - track back to preferences and check your audio setup! Go to output rooting and make sure it’s set on internal go down and take a look at what’s filled in at record… If it’s empty .. that’s your problem right there! (3) Make sure you have filled in your soundcard for left and right
:twinkle: It should work now! *
Hahaha ~ when I finally figured that out I could help my friend with checking if it really really worked. He picked up my stream and send it out over his internet radiostation !!!! 
Ahhh OMG ~ I didn’t have tracks ready and was just fooling around - but with a few listeners attracted to the music I couldn’t just mess things up too much *gulp* In the end I played around with Traktor 3 for about 4 hours with a few listeners :clover: *tee-hee* Even though I seriously thought it was scary at the start … I really want to thank Lucifer for giving me some playtime !!! It was really a good experience and I will definitely continue to practice and learn - learn - learn 
* please note: I use Traktor 3 with a laptop using a soundcard with just 1 channel.
The Waiting Game
Hmmm~ since I tend to be young and restless I try to practice my patience - whenever I can. But for a gadget girl it’s very hard for to wait *sigh* Now that I have found a pretty nice バイト I thought about buying a new desktop pc at the start of next year. But since I only know the basics of the specifications of a computer and it’s parts I decided to buy Hardware.info computer magazine to do some research. It uses loads of jargon, but is pretty understandable for a non computer specialist :love:
The mag has an awesome article about the future chips of AMD (?). I already knew AMD has developed ‘Barcelona’ a true quad core chip, that means four cores are truly working together instead of 2x two cores put in seperately to work together like the quad core chips from Intel (?). The difference is that a true quad core chip from AMD has a better synergy between the cores and thus works faster and better. Next to that AMD already demonstrated a model that can work on 3 GHz! I already thought about buying a pc with a new Phenom chip in it, but …
Then I read on and found out about Sandtiger which will be introduced in 2009 and is an octal core chip :twinkle: No - not two, not four - but EIGHT cores !!! *shock* Of course a pc is not only made out of the chipset, but in 2008/2009 there will be another important development 
Moving from BIOS (?) over to EFI (?) ~ er, what ?!! 
Well let’s just keep it on: things are getting faster, better and easier for motherboard developers. Oh, EFI is already being used on different servers and Apple computers, but other developers like ASUS and MSI will probably start working with the new standard in 2008/2009.
So why this whole tech story? Hmm ~ when I think about it … my laptop is now 1 year old and 2009 is not that far way - we almost live in 2008 now. Even though the development of chipsets and such will always be on the move I believe 2008 is a year for big changes. Next to that around 2010 Windows 7 is planned to be released - the successor of Vista! Even if the wait for Windows 7 could be long, there is always an option to get a more stable version of Vista!
Suddenly a desktop pc with an early quad core processor and a slight unstable version of Windows Vista doesn’t sound that attractive anymore … I’m gonna play the waiting game!
