    streem I tried a few microblogging sites lately. I’d recommend having a look at those before creating your own - don’t forget Web 2.0 is much about mashing it all up, having a the social part, combining everything to make something new. At a quick glance there’s something positive about all of them. I see twitter as the current “big guy”, while Jaiku will probably get moving soon with big G in the back - however, both experience downtime when discussion-worthy mews with interest to many people come around (for example the release of Mac Air) and the question is how much they can take if the idea becomes a common day phenomenon..

    If I get the time some day, I’ll have a look at the different API:s. Until, I may or may not keep twittering, and if I keep it up, will probably keep the box in the left bar.

    For a while now, I’ve been in need of upgrading the Wordpress installation for this blog, especially after reading an article over at CyberNet about how easy it was to access old posts with the version I’ve been using. When finally getting around to doing it, I found that an upgrade to Wordpress is one of the easiest things you can do - just follow these simple steps:


    1. Download, upload and activate wp-db-backup if you don’t have it, and make a backup copy of the database
    2. Disable all plugins (there’s a link for that at the bottom of the Plugins page, no need to do it one by one)
    3. Delete all files (no folders yet) except .htaccess and wp-config.php in the root of your install
    4. Delete wp-admin and wp-includes folders with content
    5. Upload the files and folders you deleted, from the latest WP version
    6. Go to (blog.url)/wp-admin/upgrade.php
    7. Click the link, wait a few seconds and you’re done

    Lately, I’ve been enjoying my mornings with reading ‘lifehacking blogs’, such as the popular Lifehacker, lifehack.org and Zen Habits, which give short and tips and tricks for living your life to the fullest. I can recommend reading about for example ‘How not to Multi-task‘, ‘Live the life of a Champion‘ and how to ‘Clean your home in 19 minutes‘. It seems like they have tips for anything in your offline life, and often also for getting more productive online.

    Some of the best tips I’ve found in there are to find goals for your life to help motivating the changes you need, never bring work to home, but work on creating your future, and get rid of things that clutter your life. So find or remember your goals now, and find the way to practice them, and use them to create or do something productive you can show - if you don’t have any ideas of what to do in the area there’s always sites online you can look at to help you with simply getting ideas or to brainstorm by yourself or in groups, there’s tools for everything.. You can find tips for that in other posts on this blog, or at the Lifehacking blogs I linked to at the start of this.
