Yes it's true - Yours truly tried his hand at Wordpress earlier this year. In a way a retaliation for Google disapproving our advertising partnership :(
I'll try to find the address for my one entry and share it by the time I get to the end of this entry.
BTW these days I'm using 1.5 GB of my 10.1 GB email account ;)
Wordpress didn't make me switch blog host providers. It seemed nice and functional, but really, compared to what I have going here with Blogger, I really have no real reason to make the change. It was nice to try something so-called "new" and "different"; although I found the make up of the site to possesses neither of these traits.
So really what my Wordpress experience offered me was reassurance in something...by the time it's all said and done, it all comes back to the quality and relevance of the original content that the service hosts. Content that is sought after, consumed and enjoyed whether in a positive or negative way.
As I rediscover my Wordpress page a smile comes across my face. Because as I said, it's about the unique Original Content
Now get a load of this URL and Original Content - Plain up hatin' w/ rustled jimmies 2013

The World went got itself in a big hurry
Hi all,
To loyal followers, it's been awhile - I struggle for ideas worth sharing. Although by the stats it seems my "legacy" posts are still relevant and worth reading...with pleasing visitor figures. To you all I thank you.
Lately I've been thinking about the resources available to us in 2013. Yes, it's a technology entry :)
A person in my exact position, but say 50 years prior to this day, may have had the privilege of access to a typewriter for documentation and correspondence. A landline telephone and dealing with a population a fraction of what exists today, with a narrower scope of cultural diversity to acknowledge and respect.
These days it's a laptop PC and/or tablet PC so you may be on someone's beckon-call seemingly 24/7...in case you smart phone's battery has drained from constant bombardment of messages, requests, reminders and even phone calls. At a desktop you may have 2 display monitors, or more.
Television comes in SD/HD and sometimes 3D, perhaps via satellite or cable and channels went from perhaps a total of five 20 years ago to over 15 today on free to air TV (Australia).
...And there's a whole lot more websites these days....
Makes me wonder with all this efficiency how many jobs do need to exist versus the people that 'need' to work, because of an economic model.

Screw Android - DELL
Technology giant DELL have revealed that they will be withdrawing from the smartphone market and Android at least for the short term future, with website 'techbuffalo' reporting the news.
Instead DELL look to gear themselves up with their range of MICROSOFT O/S tablets. Is that a big middle finger to Google from DELL?!? Sounds very much like it to this observer :)
Source:
http://www.technobuffalo.com/2012/12/12/dell-says-its-retiring-from-smartphones-not-going-to-invest-in-android/
Additionally, "Google says that it is not developing apps for Windows Mobile or Windows 8". It's not even the end of 2012 and Google decide to give modern Windows products the cold shoulder with DELL doing likewise to the Android OS. This should make for interesting times. Again, in this observers opinion, this sounds like a severe case of Google being a whiny little runt of an organisation. So much self involved and proud are they that they won't develop for what could be a key market for everyone.
And to think, if Windows had combed out their undesirable app developers andf Google were on it, a stink would surely have been created over it.
With a strongly fought battle between Apple and Samsung over the mobile O/S device market already and with these announcements all us tech-enthusiasts can do is sit back and watch the fireworks and place bets on who will get buried first.
Adsense Penny-Pinching
Greetings all.
Just a quick entry to my loyal followers and visitors. Something has changed to this site...ads are no longer hosted. Why? Reason's unexplained. What I can tell you is that I have used Google Search for approximately 10 years, Gmail for approximately 6 years, etc, etc.
I am now reconsidering my use of any and all Google services and products.
The problem is that my content has generated a little money on the side, which I have disclosed openly, and was investing for renewable power (solar energy). The money earned but not paid out (In Australia you have to rack up $150 before Google release it, no doubt earning interest off the work of Australian content hosts) has simply disappeared - A root cause of my just anger and disappointment.
The money is not a big deal, but instead the accusations that I have done something wrong and the fact that the money I earned honestly will line someone else's pockets when I was going to use it to benefit the environment as well as educate others by sharing the experience. Google has dented that dream from coming to fruition, delaying it by a time period unknown - As this will become an ongoing financial pick-pocketing by Google
My right of appeal was rejected (valid points ignored?) and my YouTube 'channel' advertising ties have also been cut as well as any opportunity for my account/s to earn revenue through their systems.
Watch this space as it, along with all other content hosted on Google may be removed and hosted at a more loyal and trusting service provider.
Same great service, none of the Google horse-crap.
Do I sound jilted? :P

End of an Era - HOPE Folding Team
Approximately at the end of 2007 or during 2008 the 'HOPE Priority Limited' Folding @ Home Team with the intentions of demonstrating my own contributions to the distributed computing project as well as the individuals I influenced to become involved in the cause.
From the beginning of 2013 I will cease to credit my work units to this particular team. I will not be decreasing my work efforts, I will simply be having my workloads credited to a different team altogether, perhaps a new team of my own creation.
With about 2 weeks left of folding to go in 2012 I am aiming to churn through as many work units as possible :)
The current total work unit credit count accredited to the team CURRENTLY stands at over 3,400!
The legacy will live on forever :)

New Blog, New Vision, New Generation
Well it's been awhile since entries. Some of you be wondering what's been happening. In short, as happens from time to time, I've run out of steam in regards to my blogging for the time being - I do have my occasional bursts of creativity, flair and desire to share ideas and thoughts.
For whatever reason I developed a new blog page which can be found at:
http://idgafptyltd.blogspot.com.au
As you can see this newer blog has a similar feel and focus (this page had one?!?) to this page you have come to know and love - along with the amount of traffic that finds it's way to View*Know*Do
And like this page, is created in Australia, by an Australian/
Check out this new blog for all the usal topical issues, news, current events and a running, honest commentary by the author - Be sure to check it out and if you made the decision to follow this page, you may want to consider doing the same for http://idgafptyltd.blogspot.com.au
And don't write-off this blog yet, it may still have some champagne quality entries to come. Keep your eyes peeled on both!
Thanks always for your time and support.

Windows versus Mac - PC changes in ~10 years
The picture below was originally (at least when I first saw it like 10 years ago) the windows guy frustrated because "M$" was complicated and Apple was 'idiot proof'.
These days, as you can see, some people aren't satisfied with Apple devices (among others *cough cough SONY *cough*) because they are so closed down.
With Windows 8 and the whole Microsoft Surface/Tablet device raising concerns about a 'locked down' Microsoft hardware perhaps Android will be the cream that rises to the top.
I've known Apple Fanboys who agree with articles that say that Apple haven't brought anything much new to the table lately...I have had a Windows Mobile 7 phone (now 7.5) for years and see no reason to upgrade. Perhaps I've had my technology fill? I'm not big into 'App's, 3D still seems a novelty to me and most new state of the art games have become too complex and involving to be fun for me anymore - though they are very impressive.
