WordPress version 2.9 “Carmen” named in honor of magical jazz vocalist Carmen McRae has been released to the general public today.

With more than 500 enhancements, bug fixes, ticteks, etc… This is the best riding WP ever!

They have added a global trash can giving you 30 days to bring back to life a deleted post, comment or page. They also added support to easier embed videos – just put the link in a line by itself and your video is posted. How about a picture editor built right in? Word Press 2.9 has it! You can now bulk update your plugins with a couple clicks also.

Check out wordpress.org for more information and watch the video below:

What is Google planning now? Is it simply a countdown timer too New Years or could it be a new product launch? Could it be the long overdue highly anticipated Nexus One AKA Google Phone?

Whatever it is Google has placed a rather large countdown timer right on their home page. How do you see it you ask – simply hit that “I’m feeling Lucky” button without typing in any query and there it is in all it’s glory counting down in seconds. Apparently as of writing it has approximately a little over 15 days left to go.

Maybe Google is finally too big for Earth and is heading for the moon to dominate …LOL!

Later!

“Bring open web technologies to your browser”

I was just looking at my Google Reader which is where most of my news-you-can-use comes through these days and I found an article about Google Chrome Frame – Runs IE8 10X faster! I was interested so I read on. It’s kind of funny that Google comes out with an IE plugin (BHO) but I must say (WOW).

I can say I’ve been using Chrome since the very beginning and the speed is undeniable. I never thought I would replace IE. I’ve always used it and everything (for the most part) works within it. Chrome is just fast and that was apparently enough because I use Chrome 100% now on every computer I use.

However I do miss IE and oddly enough, the Google toolbar mostly LOL. I don’t believe I will ever go back to IE permanently but it is a fresh of breath air to revisit the browser and when I go to others computers who only have the default IE in place, I can install this add-on and be happy with my visit and take credit when they later go on the internet and feel the extra speed boost.

With the recent attacks against high-profile New Zealand domain names including Coca-Cola.co.nz and F-Secure.co.nz, fingers are naturally pointing to Domainz, the registrar of record for these domains, as the party responsible for this lapse in security. While domain name registrars certainly need to ensure the security and stability of their systems, domain name registries must also step up and take responsibility for mitigating risks posed by hackers.

I hope I can make it up to you with literally tons of free resources from software, articles, links, tips, tricks of the trade and so much more with a littel time. Anyways I hope you like the new site design but I know more than anyone a pretty site with no content isn’t worth the platters it’s printed on.
