Upgraded to WordPress 2.9

Just upgraded to WP 2.9, as always, I was a bit late to upgrade my WP. This time was better though, just ten days after the released date (December 19th). Now the coolest new features of this version (according to WP Blog) are:

  1. Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
  2. Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
  3. Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
  4. Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).



Are they really cool or what! I haven’t tried any of those yet though! Soon I will, especially the image editing tools… However, just four days after the released date they found a new bug!

Unfortunately, the recent 2.9 release triggered a bug in certain versions of PHP’s curl extension. With these versions of curl, scheduled posts and pingbacks are not processed correctly. To fix this problem as well as a handful of other, lesser issues, we are quickly releasing 2.9.1, the first maintenance release of the 2.9 line.

So be ready for another upgrade. Aiyayaa… so many update!

Merry Christmas To All

Merry Christmas

It’s only hours before Christmas (the countdown widget up there is clearly not using my time zone), so I thought I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas before I got busy with family. We’re going to church to attend Christmas Eve service tonight and have family dinner at home.

Have a blessed Christmas everyone :)

It’s Beginning To Look Like Christmas

Our Christmas Tree

Our Christmas Tree

Look what we found when we came back from dinner last night… a Christmas tree. Finally, we had a Christmas tree in our living room.

It was a little bit late, you might say. It was! However with hectic days we had for the last couple of weeks, we really didn’t have time to decorate the house, even just to put up our small Christmas tree. Initially we planed to decorate the house two weeks ago but then My husband was occupied in the office till late, while me busy with the baby and son’s school and Sunday school’s events. Everything seemed to be piled up at the last days of the year.

That’s why I was so happy when my dear nephew volunteered to to install our Christmas tree. He was in school break and came to the house yesterday afternoon. His first intention was to show off introduce his current girlfriend but when he saw no Christmas tree he said they would do it for us.

I joked to my nephew that years ago his dad (my cousin) was doing the same thing to my mom. He came to the house with his girlfriend and decorated our Christmas tree, but at the end he didn’t marry that girl! They just laughed when I told that. Later we left the house for dinner so those two love birds could enjoy their time alone while trimming our Christmas tree :) .

When we came back we already had a Christmas tree in our living room, built with love by two teens! It hasn’t finished yet as there were still some decors I wanted to add. Still, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our house :) .
