For an open source project the WP 2.7 release is significant enough. The dashboard (backend) looks pretty damn nifty and I just hope 3.0 will introduce an equally pretty frontend. I would NOT mind using that as my default theme!

So the other week I have been working on my dedicated box, just to make it a bit easier to work with in the future. One of the things I was trying to understand and learn was yum update and bash scripting. So why not combine the two? Right.. This blog entry is the result, hopefully also of some use to others.

In a few of my other blog posts I have already used the example of Gmail and https to improve security. But I feel with the recent improvements Google introduced that it is time to emphasize security and email again.

On my internet service providers’ “underground” forum there was a topic created that new series have been added to the video on demand section. Including Criminal Minds season 01. Awesome!

Here is a short reminder and some tips about how to be smart about your JTV account.

Today I’d like to announce that we’re moving forward with the we talk web site wetalk.tv by changing it from a single site to a network of sites. wetalk.tv will remain a single working site, but it is part of a bigger network, with as alias wetalktv.net.

Before I continue, I want to be perfectly clear: I love Sasha, she’s one of my closest friends on JTV, and after this I am sure we will remain friends.

Back story: That said .. this is the story of Sasha broadcasting last week in her channel, and owning everybody with a Rick Roll. “Oh .. my .. god .. Not my friend Sasha too”, is what I thought and I pormised her in the chat while she was rolling us with a huge ass smile on her face …… that revenge will be sweet.

Hey everybody,

This thread is a serivce request to those who wish to help out build a new community from scratch, as part of a network of sites that I own and run. It has been over six months since I started the last one, so it’s time to move on to the next one. Hopefully you can help on a volunteer basis. Any return to staff is via satisfaction of being part of the team, link backs to your site(s), ad spots sharing, and hopefully over time sharing advertising income.

With MySQL v3 out of the way, and MySQL 4 and 5 being used everywhere now (and if you have not upgraded to the latest stable .. shame on you) I think it is time to point out that you can use MySQLi for your code, software and sites. This blog is to inform you about MySQLi and give you information so you can decide to upgrade and if you have already to perhaps use it on your vBulletin installation.

There ya go, some changes to my blog !

Upgraded to wordpress 2.5, upgraded the plugins, and started blogging again.

I’ve also created a new tab for “find me” with details on my social profiles and stuff like that : http://mrfloris.com/find-me/
