Probably old news, but it turns out waves can be embedded in Wordpress with Wavr.
This Day in History: The Facebook Land Grab
So I bought into the hype (what else was I supposed to do?) and spent half an hour watching the clock tick down at facebook.com/username.. confident that I would be able to claim my spot as the number 1 sherwin on the internets. After all, I already own the much coveted twitter.com/sherwin.
I sat and waited, following the events as the unfolded on the Mashable chat.. half expecting Facebook to implode under the load of a billion page refreshes. Fortunately it didn’t.. and from the goings on at the countdown I found that my countdown timer was running slightly slower. This is understandable, but I suspect that this was what sealed my fate as not being able to claim the spot of #1 Sherwin on the internet.
Because of this 1 second delay, another Sherwin swooped in and claimed the username I had been eagerly waiting for since the announcement was made more than a week ago.
So now I’m facebook.com/sherwinhuang or facebook.com/sherwin.huang or facebook.com/sherwin-huang take your pick.
Not too bad I guess! At least I’m not sherwinhuang28912317

WordPress 2.7: Finally, a downside to the upgrade
Tried to install the WordPress Lifestream plugin, but I got an error message. Since the upgrade to WordPress 2.7, I’ve found myself faced with a variety of memory errors such as this one with a number of plugins, and even when publishing:
“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 311296 bytes) in /*/*/*/*/*/wp-content/plugins/lifestream/lib/simplepie.inc on line 4152″
