After quite long time I manage to save some time for my WordPress. There was a big gab between versions and there were some new releases of WP. So to be short I updated two public plugins:

• Plugin List
• Custom Logo

There are still two public plugins to update and also I am thinking about releasing some private plugins for free.

Happy using

Yep, I upgraded my workstation to Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala Linux. Upgrade process was as usually smooth without any troubles.  I again put myself into risk by upgrading over remote connection using VNC. But no problem at all. Just better performance and more polished desktop. Ubuntu just rocks. Thank you guys!

I have to say that I am not surprised by news about London Stock Exchange. It is just an example of enterprise software status these days. It is shame that someone is promoting 100% availability. It is just not possible… 99,8% maybe but definitely not on top of MS SQL 2000. Small quiz: Why companies like Amazon or Google are not using Microsoft technologies? I think it is not a question of money for licenses .

Microsoft published a preview of SharePoint products and technologies 2010 technical  developer documentation. Archive white papers and SDK documentation. Not much, but interesting.

Novell released SUSE Studio 1.0 – a web tool that allows you to create Linux-based systems and appliances for example for VMWare or XEN. Great tool! Great work Nat.

Recently I wrote about my current spare time project WordPressUpdater. It’s purpose is to help with updating and backuping of multiple WordPress sites. It is still under development, but it will be available soon. At least beta version.

I am long term Windows developer (not only of course). I always tried to be fair and objective when I was talking about Microsoft, Linux, Open Source and such topics…  But today I came about this link. It was classical example of total ignorance that will lead to dead of company in a long terms. Not now, not tomorrow, but will die in a few years from now. I felt really sad while I was reading that lies. I know it is not about technology, it is about business and money . Thank you very much, I prefer different world.

Yesterday Wolfram|Alpha launched it’s grid computing platform running on thousands of nodes all controlled using Mathematica. I was interested in Wolfram’s work since I first read some of his papers and books. Anyway you can watch them in action over on justin.tv.

I am happy to see that Microsoft responses to multi core challenges with a new weapon – a new programming language targeted towards concurrency named Axum (previously code named Maestro). As Erlang lover and .NET developer, I am really curious what is behind and looking forward to play with it (it will be hard job to convince me that Erlang  is not best in this area ).
