QuickGold is Quicksilver for Your iPhone [Featured IPhone Download]
iPhone/iPod touch only: Free iPhone application QuickGold is a keyboard-based app launcher aiming to fill the shoes of “Quicksilver for the iPhone” (hence the name). You invoke QuickGold by pressing the home button when you’re already at the homescreen. Once it activates, start typing and watch as its dynamic results quickly match what you’re looking for. QuickGold can match any app on your home screen (including web clips), searches contacts and phone numbers, launches web pages in your Safari history, and even includes built-in keyword search (e.g., ‘g lifehacker’ will search Google for Lifehacker). Available only for jailbroken iPhones through Cydia, QuickGold demonstrates one of the biggest frustrations for App Store development—namely that an app like this will never enter the app store under Apple’s current restrictions. For example, I’m sure this is exactly the kind of functionality Google’s mobile app would have liked to include, but the SDK doesn’t allow apps this sort of access to other apps on your phone. That’s why we have PwnageTool and QuickPwn.

Anti-Theft Lunch Bag Deters Sandwich Thieves [Office Culture]
If office gremlins are making off with your daily meal, innovative designer Sherwood Forlee has a clever solution: the Anti-Theft Lunch Bag. Simply put, Anti-Theft Lunch Bags “are regular sandwich bags that have green splotches printed on both sides.” With your sandwich inside, the bag simulates mold and makes the contents look disgusting. These bags aren’t available for purchase, but the idea shouldn’t be difficult to replicate if you need more sandwich security at your workplace. Thanks Patrix!

Speed.io Measures Your Bandwidth and More [Bandwidth]
Web site Speed.io is a web-based speed-testing tool for measuring your upload and download bandwidth. Speed tests like this aren’t really new—for example, I’ve always been partial to Speakeasy’s Speed Test—but Speed.io rounds out its test with a few other cool measurements, including number of connections per minute and average ping time. It’s always useful to have a bandwidth test like this in your bookmarks when you’re troubleshooting your connection (and making sure your ISP is giving you what you’re paying for), and Speed.io certainly looks bookmarkable. Don’t like it? Share your favorite bandwidth test in the comments.

So I don’t know if all my hosting issues solved my problems with the iPhone/Touch version of wordpress, but I finally got it to work, so I can do more blogging on the go. I am happy now, but hopefully I won’t have anymore issues with my hosting company.

I had a few issues this evening with my hosting company Big Blue Host. I swapped our main domain with our addon domain and all hell broke loose. I have to say I was very frustrated. After much contact with them, they have been very good at moving everything around and making sure that everything is working again. I still have a couple more issues, but they should be resolved very soon. I want to commend them on their effort to make me happy, and they have kept me as a customer.
One of the main reasons I did what I did was because I belive the now secondary domain which is a website I don’t control anymore is going to be moving, so I wanted it to be secondary so when they did move I wouldn’t have any issues.
Again, big kudos to Big Blue Host, and I highly recommend them for hosting your sites, they are very reasonably priced, and I haven’t had any downtime that I have noticed since I signed up with them 2 years ago.
