WordPress RC1

It’s getting closer, although I was expecting the release at the end of last month wordpress.org today released RC1, which they seem to think is pretty stable from their post…

With the release of RC1, we’re in the final leg of development before the release of 2.7.

280 commits since beta 3 have polished the new admin UI (including new menu icons created by the winners of our icon design contest) and fixed all known blocker bugs.

We think RC1 is ready for everyone to try out. Please download RC1 and help us make the final release the best it can be. As always, back up your blog before upgrading.

Todays little surprise run-in

All hail Malibu – American Gladiator

Plain and simple… this site wouldn’t be the same without the philosophy and optimism of American gladiator Malibu.

The sign off kills me!

Help save the goon bag

Shattering news today of what is possibly the impending death of that great Australian icon, the wine cask.

From the Herald Sun…

“The alcoholic product otherwise known as the “goon bag” or “chateau cardboard” is at a crucial junction where the options seem to be adapt or perish.”

Can you imagine a world without goon? A dark place, where social drinking becomes plain old drinking, where uni students with $13 to their name can no longer have a good time, EVER, and by the end of the night you will no longer have a new hat/pillow/friend/life partner.

Without goon there will be no more goon games ie goon of fortune, it will mean the death of the Larry Layback and there will be nothing good to mix with Orange Juice
Its time to fight the good fight, and if that means buying and consuming all the boxed up liquid gold we can, so be it.

Take up your swords my friends, the challenge has been put before us.

Help us save the goon bag

The flying car here already?

I really hope I don’t see these commercialised in my lifetime!

Not only does it look somewhat like a foetus… can you imagine the chaos of not only having to look left, look right… now you gotta look up, down, diagonally and every other whichaways. I’m happy to stick to the ground thankyou very much.

Facebook actions visualisation

OK I was pretty impressed by this, made by a few guys as part of hackathon, it’s a visual representation of everything happening on facebook in real time.

The interaction part is pretty impressive… showing where people are interacting to and from in the world…

iFun… turn the iPhone into a Wii like controller

“Now SGN is rolling out something a little different. iFun turns the iPhone into a Wii-like controller, but the actual games are played on normal desktop and laptop computers.”
