The new version of Apple’s iOS (the new name for the iPad/iPhone/iPod operating system) went live this afternoon and I rushed home to get it… sadly I am now looking at “Backing up…” screen and have been for almost an hour now…

It seems like this is not an uncommon issue so I’m just patiently waiting taking in as many reviews and bits and pieces of info as I can on the upgrade while I wait.

Things I’m looking most forward to:

• Folders – some argue this should have been a day one feature of the post-app era iPhones (and I agree to an extent) but I’m just glad it is here now
• Spell checking through out the OS – I type at about 140 or so WPM and I can assure you I type faster than I think most of the time.  The result of this has always been a trade off in the spelling department
• Upgraded Mail Client – Unified inbox anyone?
• Apparently the upgrade has a tonne of polish and who would turn down some polish?

Now all I need to do is hope this actually works… The upgrade is going.so.slowwwww

ryanosullivan.ca has been my primary personal blog now for a year (Oct 25th, 2008 I installed word press on this domain) and it’s been really slow to come in to its own.

For a while I was using a theme that I really loved but it was out of date and wouldn’t work with many of wordpress’s bells and whistles. This limited my ability to add “cool shit” to the site and that hasn’t helped with my lack of inspiration to do much with this blog.

But enough of that – I’ve spent some time today trying to kick this blog back in to gear and if work doesn’t kill me first I’ll be making an effort to post here more often (and on adventuresoftaas.com as well!) – (Editor’s note: look, a blogger saying he’ll post more, how cute).

So welcome to ryanosullivan.ca year 2… I promise this year will be even more interesting then last, and that ain’t saying much…
