WordPress 2.7

Alrighty.  Well, it does appear as if the new revision of WordPress has released.  Might have been awhile ago, but I’ve been neglecting this site for awhile now.  So, without further ado!

Initial look and feel of the new Dashboard is pretty damn sexy.  I mean, not as sexy as my girlfriend or some of the FHM or Maxim girls, but definitely intarweb sexy.  I am already liking the feel of it.  Layout is clean, dynamic and easy.

As I’ve stated many times, these are pretty much key factors when looking at what I use that are a must have.  Granted, I work in IT, but that doesn’t mean I want to use that knowledge when attempting to post simple text, images and video to the internet.  This update makes that process cleaner and smoother.  On mouse-over, approve/unapprove comment selection right from the main page, awesome.  Yes.  Yes, I think this will do just fine.

Overall, the software has really become… what’s that descriptive word I’m looking for?  Polished.  Definitely more polished then other revisions.  I did take a look at what was being asked of the users in a poll to see where this was all headed and I can happily say, without participating, well done!

Anyway, I’m off like a prom dress on prom night.

Peace.

The Note.

Are you fucking kidding me?

I can’t believe people are actually still considering NOT giving the auto-makers the cash.  We did this with Chrysler and made it back, with interest within three years.  It really seems like a no brainer.  Give them the cash.  No oversight.  Done.

We are weighing in the balance millions of jobs across the country.  Mechanics, sales, assembly – parts dealers, you know, those leather seats everyone enjoys so much?  We’re already seeing jobs fly out the window as time goes on.  You think injecting a few million people into the job market is going to help the economy?  Regardless as to whether the cars they make are GREEN and wonderful, they still need to exist for us to function as a country.  Now I’d say if from here, giving the money up, they do not function correctly or do not move forward in a decent manner, THEN we can talk about oversight and such.

I don’t have the time to listen to this bullshit about flying on private jets and returning in hybrids.  You are wasting peoples time in this in trying to grand stand and make a moot point to something the public already gets and further mistrusting the auto industry.  This lame-duck charade that is going on with people in power is ridiculous.

Anyway, resolution?  Give them the money!  Quickly!

Peace.

Holy shit sticks intarweb!

That is supposed to be a play on ‘Holy rusted metal Batman!’

I know, I suck at humor. Keep reading and enjoy.

So!  Firefox.  I’ve grown to really enjoy this browser over time, but there are more and more things about it that increase this as time goes on.  Seems to be a generally quicker browser then most, loads pages correctly, and now I can customize the backend without even thinking of it.

I’ve done some of my own, but rather then try and explain it, I’ll include this post I’ve found that gives a pretty good breakdown on what can be changed:

Also, here is another set of them that seemed decent.  Few over-laps, but still another good list:

Ok!  Fine.  Go fuck yourself, here is a full and complete list you anal-retentive, power hungry, good for nothing, intarweb whores!

So, yes, I’d include Internet Explorer here as well, but it violates the EULA?  Nah, I’m just not to big a fan on registry hacks anymore.  If its a ‘feature’ then I like to be able to access that by making a change from within the program.  Hats off to Mozilla for making that possible.  Plus, keeping IE intact is a great way to have a fallback browser to flame me about how you jacked your shit up.

Whiners.

Really though, I did find the browser.http request changes to speed site loading significantly on some sites and recommend that people at least check that part of it out.  I’ve not seen if this is multi-platform, but I have no reason to believe they would remove this from the browser in another OS.

That’s all for now.

Peace.
