When we getting custom templates? I want my own Google Analytics on here ;-)

So, for the second time in as many months, I've had to totally restore my iPhone because the OS crapped out during some operation. Unfortunately this time, I hadn't synced it recently, so I didn't have a backup. To add to that, the previous backup iTunes made reports that it's corrupt, so I haven't been able to restore to the phone any of my old data, SMS messages, images, etc. Which is annoying to say the least.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that I should have to have done this twice in two months. The first time it died during a sync, when iTunes was installing some new applications onto it. This time, it was when the phone was downloading and installing an application. Seems to be a common thread of application installation that kills it. 

I understand El Jobs himself has said there's a fix coming for application instability, etc, but I still don't understand how installing a single application can brick the entire phone. Surely this is a fairly major bug, and I haven't seen any widespread reports of people having this issue. Maybe I'm doing something differently, no t sure how, but who knows. From my understanding of the Sandbox nature of third party applications on the iPhone, they're totally self contained little bundles of goodness. So how is it that the installation of a single application can brick the OS?

I love my iPhone, I loved my first gen iPhone, and I love my second gen one too. But I'm forced to admit that it's also one of the buggiest phones I've owned since old Nokia 7210, and that's saying something. I really hope the 2.1 release brings some much needed stability and reliability.

So, I've jumped in and made use of the new custom domain feature Posterous just introduced. Glad they finally got on par with Tumblr. Had been getting annoying not being able to do this.

So, I had a quick flick round the new Tumblr beta site, quite interesting the things they're working on. I don't know how much of a hurry up Posterous has given them, but they've made some big moves in the right direction, and into areas I know the Posterous crew are moving too. Things like tags, post privacy levels, back dating, etc. Admittedly, I only had a quick play, and haven't read an official comprehensive list yet, but those seemed to be the big things for me. I guess the best thing was that those features are there now, and they're available in the main UI, unlike Posterous, which is sorely lacking in editing features on the web side. I know they're coming, let's hope it's not too long though. I'm getting bored switching back and forth :-)

Got a leaving party tonight, and a wedding tomorrow. My better half is away all weekend, but looks like just as well, wouldn't have time for anything else anyway!

Finally got round to tying my Posterous account into some of the services they support. Fantastic new feature. What's next guys?

Finally managed to get hold of a Wii Fit yesterday, got home, tried it out for 40 minutes. My god, hadn't worked that hard in ages. Felt tired but good afterwards. Fantastic bit of kit. I guess the trick is to see how long it keeps you hooked to it. Definitely a few weeks at least, which for me is a long time. Here's hoping! Need to get that lil' Mii of mine slimmed down.
