Wordpress 2.7

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

The latest “major” version of Wordpress was released today. And though I’ve not actually used it yet, Wordpress 2.7 looks awesome. While there is a lot in the new version, two things I’m looking forward to are a much overhauled admin dashboard. The 2nd feature I’m looking forward to is actually two similar features. You can now install and update any plug in from the Wordpress repository without having to fool with downloading, unpacking, and uploading. The other part of this actually allows you to upgrade Wordpress itself.

I’ll be giving Wordpress 2.7 a go on my test site in a bit, with an actually upgrade to come (hopefully) soon after.

iTunes 8.0.2 & iPhone/iPod Touch 2.2 Updates

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Apple has released iTunes 8.0.2 which in addition to some fixes and enhancements brings along the iPhone and iPod Touch 2.2 update.

With the iPhone / iPod Touch (IPIPT?) 2.2 update comes with a number of enhancements to the Google Maps, including street view, walking locations, and the ability to share locations via email. Safari also gets the goofy update that changes the “search” icon next to the address bar to look more like a search box. Who cares?? Though the update does claim to improve stability and performance in Safari, now that’s what I want to hear!

For a complete list of what’s available in the 2.2 update, check out the Apple Support website.

Whoops! Site updated.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

So, I decided that I’d upgrade my WordPress install to v2.6.3. It’s actually something that I had been wanting to do for a while, but haven’t had the time. Finally got around to doing it, and messed up big time.

You see, this is the first time I’ve done my WP updates from my Mac. When doing them from Windows, you’d just upload the files, and it was done. Files that are there would be left alone, unless they needed to be over written. Not the case with the FTP upload from OSX. OSX decides to delete the existing folder, and replace it with exactly what you uploaded. This means my theme, plugins, and other settings went buh-bye.

Thankfully, I had a backup copy of my theme… the plugins, well that’s another story. :D However, I think I’ve managed to remember everything I used, and those have hopefully been reinstalled. Let me know if anything breaks, and I’ll see what I can do to fix it.

Neowin.net gets a facelift

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

Neowin.net today released an update to their site called “Finity” or Neowin v5. IMO this is probably one of the better redesigns I’ve seen in a long time. Very sexy!

And if you enjoy the Neowin.net Forums, they have a spiffy iPhone and Windows Mobile version available as well. Yeah, they are that cool. ;)

Wordpress 2.6.1 Released

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

A minor maintenance update has been released for WordPress. The non-essential update addresses a number of things for international users, and a permalink bug for IIS users.

While it isn’t a required update, I’d recomend installing it just for good practice.

Apple iPhone 2.0.1 Update

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Yesterday evening / last night Apple released a new update for the iPhone software. The update description given by Apple is just “bug fixes”, so who knows really what that means. Hopefully it’ll fix the app crashes and the laggy keyboard problems that have been reported by just about everyone.

First Post With WordPress 2.5.x

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

WordPress 2.5.0 was released back at the end of March, but I’m just now getting around to doing my update (been busy, remember? :P ). Actually, I’ve upgraded the site to WordPress 2.5.1, so I think that makes it a 3 version update (one was major).

As with any update, it’s possible that you may run into something that acts a bit odd. If you encounter anything, let me know and I’ll take a look into it. I did a quick run though the site, and I didn’t notice anything. Hopefully, everything will work flawlessly.
