word press is a PITA
January 1, 2010
It sure is. The machine I normally use does not have enough CPU horse-par to use the word press WYSIWYG editor. So i have to use a faster machine.
Lets back up. I have an antique computer with antique OS. A quaint Dell Inspiron 8100 with win2K that has had its kernel patched more than my grandma’s quilts. It’s nothing to brag about, only 1.2ghz, 512ram, and 160gb drive. But it has a 1600×1200 screen which is pretty damn bad-ass when it comes to writing code. Oh yeah, and thanks to the patch work – virtually no DRM. The machine is junk by consumer standards which makes it all the better. Below is a picture of my nifty laptop which lacks the cpu to run word press’s editor.
You see that? I remove that damn touch pad. Nothing like an input device that requires more strokes than you would give yourself. I thought it would be neat to use a real PCB in place of the plastic. While at it i decided to make my own touch buttons for the mouse since the OEM buttons are not placed properly for my thumb.
So needless to say, i use that machine all the time – even though i have a Thinkpad that is 4x better in every aspect other than video. The think pad’s video blows hard core, think 1024×768.
