Prices, eWallet, everybody votes on Wii and dealing with DST in Wordpress |
Download Hmmcast #78 mp4
We tend to buy cheap computers, treating them as throwaways, but we still focus on getting good value for the money spent. We’re still looking for a $10,000 car and have our sights on one, but we might end up paying more for something more valuable.
Looks like the Wii is getting into the voting with the free Everybody Votes channel. You can vote and then also predict which answer will have the most votes across the world.
Behind the Hmmcast
I realize the post time has been messed up on this blog again. Daylight savings has bitten the version of WordPress I’m using (haven’t verified if it’s fixed in the most recent version WP version yet). While the time shows as 4:20pm, it’s actually being published at 5:20pm because of the -8 offset in the settings. Instead of using the server time and adjusting it’s using a gmtdate offset without daylight savings calculated. If I change it to the correct time, then comments made between the last time I changed and now will be off by one hour.
Before I started digging in to fix this in the core, I did some searching to see if somebody else had already created a timezone plugin to deal with this and indeed, Kimmo Suominen had.

Thanks Kimmo!





And today 4:20 returns!

my wife and i are enjoying the wii, especially the neat little things like everybody votes…. but we made ourselves go HMMM… this time around when we said to each other: doesn’t isn’t start to feel like the Nintendo is getting to know us a little too well. sorta like, consumers… or a stalker?
