So I updated my iPhone 3G the other day. While the process itself took quite a while, the update didn’t not error. The upgrade process actually did a restore, so it took quite a while to delete, install, and copy over all my music and apps. However, since updating I have had issues with the phone. Nothing I would call game stopping though.

• Shortcuts made in Safari and placed on the home screen no longer work. I tap them and nothing happens. I have tried deleting them and then recreating the shortcuts … still doesn’t work.
• I opened up the Photos app and there was a brand new picture located in the first spot. I am unable to select this picture directly, however I can select the 2nd picture and tap the back arrow. This is a screen shot of the image that appears (screenshot). It’s a ? in the middle with THM under it.
• I use Mobile Me and have my calendar synced between my iMac, MacBookPro, and iPhone. Since doing the update I get the same alert twice. As soon as an alert goes off I see it on the screen of either of my Macs and the event is listed twice. However, in the calendar there is only one event.

So far this is what I have run across. I did pre-order an iPhone 4 and should get that tomorrow. But I figured I would list out what issues I had when I upgraded my iPhone 3G to iOS4.

I have been following a few posts on TUAW but didn’t see anyone that had the same issues as me. Has anyone else had these specific issues, or anything else???

It’s been just over a month since I started with WFXL FOX 31, MySouthwestGA.com. I am the Interactive Managing Editor which means I maintain the website. FOX 31 is owned by Barrington TV, who owns another 20 something stations. Barrington has a main layout and style for all of their sites, which we aren’t allowed to change. We are however, allowed to created pages and adjust the layout and style of those pages … as long as it fits within the guidelines set by corporate.

Some of the responsibilities I have include editing and uploading video, adjusting titles and keywords for better search engine ranking, and managing our social networking communities on Facebook and Twitter.

I love the job, the hours are a little crazy but I think they work out perfect for me. I’m up really early but then that means I’m off really early too. This allows me to do other things, like develop web sites on the side. So yes, while I do have a new job this doesn’t mean that I am no longer working as Sevenpixels.

Working in the news industry is brand new for me and I’m learning a ton as I go along. What might be good for some sites, isn’t the best for those in the news niche. There is a lot of stuff that works well on any site though. Since there are a bunch of other sites I also get feedback on what they are doing that seems to work well for them and what doesn’t. Everything I learn at FOX 31 I can bring back and apply to my clients sites as well.

This is a win win situation for everyone. I bring a lot to the table for FOX 31, and I learn a lot from FOX 31. I’m very excited about this new opportunity.

Donnie La Curan at Sevenpixels is great to work with. He is knowledgeable and has a good eye for attractive, user-friendly web page design. He is extremely helpful in explaining the operation and management of a site to those who are technologically less proficient. I recommend Sevenpixels to anyone who is looking to design or re-design a web site.
