Stuff I Learned On The Internet[s], Recent History Edition
People approach me and say “Doug, we haven’t seen you post recently. What have you been learning on the Internet these last two weeks that you haven’t been posting?”* I learned that Matt Mullenweg started WordPress partially of a desire to help out his church. I learned that one does not mess with Finns named…

WordPress 2.5 Is Out
WP 2.5 has been released. I’m going to move LB.org over to it as soon as possible, so there may be some downtime some time in the very near future. Stay tuned.

Meagre Offerings
Busy, busy, busy am I. Thus, amuse yourself with the following parody of Nintendo’s forthcoming “Wii Fit” product: Also take note of the Toribash v. 3 trailer:

A Bountiful Link-Filled Catch-Up
I am fully cognizant of my delinquent blogging — apologies all around. I’ve been in full recovery mode since taking the redeye from SFO to PHL on Friday night. Short observations on that flight?

Airport Blogging
I’m sitting in PHL waiting for my flight to arrive and ferry me off to Apple’s WWDC ’07 and must admit to a good deal of excitement. Not only am I going to get to attend my first Stevenote (one that should include iPhone and Leopard info aplenty) but, as Matt Mullenweg mentioned, I’ll be…

Descartes, De Horses And Jumping The Gun
It looks as though I may have spoken too soon yesterday. Owen has posted his thoughts on the [dis]continuation of the Philly WordPress Meetup — I probably should have solicited his honest opinions before posting as I did. I can definitely sympathize with Owen’s concerns — it stinks to be coming in from out at…

‘Scuse The Mess
I took the plunge and upgraded Literal Barrage to WordPress 2.1 on Thursday/Friday. I’ve been slowly picking away at the transition, re-enabling plugins, moving old artwork, etc. over. I know there are a bunch of things that still don’t work correctly: contact form, archives and a lot of my old images among them. If you…
