If you are having problems getting the Wordpress iPhone app to work with your site, there is a fix for the problem. It turns out to be something to do with a server timeout and the RSD.

You can read more about the problem and grab the fixed function.php file here.

Well, after 15 years at MacCentral and Macworld, I am leaving. I found out a couple of weeks ago that I was being laid off — I was a bit surprised, but the economy really sucks, so I guess it shouldn’t be a big surprise.

I wrote a goodbye message on Macworld this afternoon.

It may seem simple, but judging from the commercials I see on TV, they still don’t get it. You want to sell more, make a decent car.

See, simple isn’t it.

Ozzy and Jim

Ozzy and Jim

Last year I had the chance to meet Ozzy Osbourne and his band. I brought in my wife and kids to meet him too. He was a great guy, very friendly and willing to take a few pictures with us.

This Christmas my aunt — and Godmother — took the picture of Ozzy and I, and had it etched in a crystal Christmas ornament. This has to be one of the most inventive gifts I’ve ever received.

While it’s meant for the Christmas tree, this isn’t something I’ll put away. I’ll find a spot in my music studio to put it all year.

Thanks Cathy!

Merry Christmas

By Jim Dalrymple · Comments (0)

bellsIt’s hard to believe that another year has gone by, but here we are. It’s Christmas Eve, Michael is in bed, Nicole is wrapping presents, Monique is downstairs, the dog is sleeping and I’m sitting here.

We had a great night having dinner with my parents. Monique cooked a nice ham, potatoes and veggies. 

Tomorrow is going to be very busy. Monique’s family will be here for dinner and my family is coming over a bit earlier in the day. I guess it’s time to get some sleep soon.

Merry Christmas!
