More changes for the blog

Today, I made a CNAME record for blog.nztechie.com so it would point to my Google-hosted blog. I was advised by my domain host that it would take 4 hours. However, it seemed to propagate instantly and my blog was now under the nztechie.com domain.

I updated the links on the nztechie.com homepage to reflect the new URL for my blog. I also updated the RSS feed which I had recently added to my website.

Since the change, my Blog title graphic is not operating as it used to. I have temporarily reverted it back to the previous text title until I resolve the problem.

On other matters, when I use my Motorola V3x and record a video in better, or best mode, it will not be accepted by Youtube. It will also not be played by Apple Quicktime, or by the Nokia Multimedia Player. Tonight I purchased a 1GB Transflash MicroSD card from Harvey Norman (NZ$35). The specifications for my Motorola V3x call for a maximum external memory of 512MB. The unit appeared to detect and utilitse the full 1GB of storage available.

The extra MicroSD card did not extend the maximum video recording time of 3 minutes. I am contemplating using one of the online hacks to extend the video time.

As appears to be standard among smartphones, including my last Nokia 6680, the V3x seems to have trouble using music on the memory card as a ringtone. I moved my ringtone from the memory card into the main phone memory.

Using the Motorola V3x with Windows XP as a mass storage device does not seem to play as well as my Nokia did.

Useless Information: When Coca-Cola began to be sold in China, they used characters that would sound like "Coca-Cola" when spoken. Unfortunately, what they turned out to mean was "Bite the wax tadpole"
