I’ve set up a guest account on my Linux boxes using xguest. The Mac has a Guest account. I’m guessing most Windows machines do, too.
So why doesn’t the iPhone?
The iPhone is still enough of a curiosity and non-ubiquitous tool that people are always asking to look at it, use it, fondle it. I’m happy to oblige my friends, but I wish there were away to squirrel away my private data, open applications, and email. You know, a guest mode.
How about it, Apple?
I don’t like setting my alarm clock on vacation, but I’m glad I did this morning. We went joy-riding with the blue-hairs up the Rogue River! We saw ospreys and eagles and deer as we traversed grandiose scenery, had lunch, and got wet “braving” the rapids. The splashing was mostly gratuitous showmanship, but nonetheless I tittered with all the grandmas as we banked turns on the water and sped through narrow channels.
We have now crossed the California border. Tomorrow: redwoods!
A week or two ago, I finally upgraded WordPress from 1.5.x to 2.6.2. After the upgrade, I had problems with the layout of the initial page, and problems logging in. Removing the inScript plugin directory and disabling wpPaginate (and updating the Giraffe theme) seemed to fix things. In the meantime, I got many spam comments.
The spam should have been cleared now, and the blog working as normal. Let me know if you encounter any problems….
BTW, I recommend the WordPress Automatic Update plugin. It does make life simpler.
Day three of our honeymoon finds us at The Inn at Spanish Head. This is the first building in my experience where the street-level lobby is on the ninth floor. Balcony views of the coast and an outdoor swimming pool lured us to pause our drive south for an extra night. The hotel restaurant and lounge offer lackluster food and service (though the chef’s smokehouse salmon is good). But no problem: after a late night swim, we snacked on Croatian fig jam and Camembert cheese baguette sandwiches, ingredients courtesy of our local Whole Foods back in Seattle. The plan for today: beach walks, more swimming, reading, and maybe geeking out.
