You should sign up for a Vimeo account and add me as a contact. [...]

Whoa! The Number 10 Spot is Mine!

by Matthew Smith · July 24th, 2008 · No Comments

Some frequent visitors may remember a few articles written last summer involving the ranking of digivation.net against a few search terms. One of specific interest to myself is a google search for my name, Matthew Smith.

Texts from your BlackBerry have “@” between the words?

by Matthew Smith · July 15th, 2008 · No Comments

So, yes, I just recently joined the bandwagon and enabled sms messages on my cell phone. No, I’m not “slow” or “behind the times.” My phone was, until recently, attached to my parents’ family plan - and they blocked all messages instead of paying the extra $30/month.

It’s that time of year once again, when the last final is completed, the calculators and pencils are put away, and the books are burned (just kidding - they cost too much). However, I’m feeling a little melancholic for I have finished the last final of my undergraduate career. Five years of college, four years [...]

New MacBook Pro!

by Matthew Smith · April 3rd, 2008 · 5 Comments

Yea, I know… I’ve converted to the dark side.
If you’d told me two years ago that I’d be owning a Mac sometime in the future, I’d have laughed. However, over the past two years, I’ve used various Apple products at the computer store and helped friends with their Apple computers. I have become quite a [...]

Upgraded to Wordpress 2.5

by Matthew Smith · March 31st, 2008 · 3 Comments

I just finished upgrading to the newest version of Wordpress. So far, I must say that the administration back-end has received a fantastic overhaul and I’m enjoying the new features so far.
I will soon update the theme to take advantage of the new features, but until then I can’t really comment on the coding aspects [...]
