Yesterday I went to my friend John’s house to make up license plate mounts for my buddy Zack’s Dads plow truck – it was definitely fun to actually get out and do something for once instead of sitting here staring at a computer screen all day

I haven’t done much coding today, but I did go through and document the code a little bit so people who test it have at least some clue about what’s going on and what goes where

Today (so far) I have unloaded one load of stone, and will probably do one or two more. I also did one load yesterday before I went to John’s. Me and my Dad are also going to finally bury our Internet lines so they aren’t just laying on the ground.

Also, I probably wont post anything Friday-Sunday night because I will probably be at my girlfriends house helping her Dad split wood and spending some time with her Oh yeah, I also finished the Battlefield 3 campaign today, but I’ll write a review on what I thought about it when I have time

CMS Update
After thinking long and hard, reading a ton of articles and threads, I think I have finally come to a conclusion as far as the feature list which really excites me. I have tons of ideas on things I want to merge or include in the feature list, but most of the things that I saw as unnecessary are marked to be added in, or discussed, in a later version.

More updates to come
The more I think about this, the more it bothers me – I really don’t keep this site very active for very long. This bothers me because I always think of things to discuss, but never really put it out in the open. Part of this stems from the fact that I always want my posts to be well-formed and thought out, almost scripted and revised many times for perfection. But no longer! From now on, if I have anything to post, I’m going to post it regardless of how well-formed it is (or isn’t). Don’t get me wrong though, I’m not going to post random garbage – but if I have a discussion topic that I think will spark interest to someone, I’m gonna post it.

With all that said, that’s about it for now I hope you enjoyed reading it.

0% Publishing Issue
When you finish uploading a video, you get to the publishing state – basically letting you know that YouTube is “rendering” the video to be viewed. However, the percent of publishing sometimes gets stuck at 0 – even if the video is actually finished publishing.

Broken Subscription Boxes
Due to the 0% publishing issue, I am assuming that is why most user’s subscription boxes don’t show new videos.

Unable to Upload content
Again, thanks to the 0% publishing issue, some people are unable to upload videos. I for one get stuck on the uploading process itself because it says the video did upload, but the percent bar just sticks at 99%

So yeah, this post isn’t really informative or anything.. But I felt the need to post it anyways haha

Managing Posts
While finding and deleting posts on your current profile isn’t very hard, it’s about the same to do on the new timeline. Basically, you put your mouse over a post – two icons will “pop up” to the right of the post. One of them is to highlight that post, which will expand the post to the width of your profile and make it more noticeable than the rest of your post(s).

Finding Old Posts
On your current profile, you don’t really need to “search” for your older posts, they simply load as you scroll down your, or a friends, profile. However, on the new time line you can find posts by year, as well as month.

Highlighting Important Moments
As it currently is, you cannot add a specific moment, i.e. getting your driver’s license, on your profile unless you post it as a status. However, with the new profile you can do just that! Simply go to the year (example: 2010), and roughly scroll down your time line (the middle line) until the time, and add the event. Note: You have to be on the middle line, or you will get confused. One way to know you can add an “event” or occasion is because you will see a little + icon on your line.

Want to highlight one event?
Often times, people like to highlight one event or thing that they do, or have done, that they are especially proud of. For me, I would have something related to website design or coding, as I do both of those things and am very proud of my work. However, say you wanted to highlight your recent marriage with a single picture – you can do just that by adding what Facebook refers to as a “cover”. To add one, simply hover over the right top side of your profile, and click “Add Cover” – from there, choose (or upload) an image; and you’re done!

A sign in Stockton, New York

While recently on a vacation with my Mom, Dad and my girlfriend Brie in Stockton, New York – my Mom found this sign. We were all pretty amused by it

Also, before I get to what has changed, been added, etc. – I must say to not even bother downloading this update if you like your game to be lag free, as it can lag heavily from time to time.

Change Log:
- Swamp biomes will be generated
- Water now has a “swampy” feel to it if found in the respective biome
- Vines become swampy if by swamp water
- Jumping by holding the space bar is disabled (but will be brought back in the next update, according to Notch on Twitter)
- NPC’s; though they don’t seem to actually do anything besides walk around

Other than that, I don’t really think that anything else was added or otherwise changed.
