I see that the Wordpress programmers have released a new update to the open source Wordpress blog software package today, to fix some security issues, and even give users a taste of what is in the upcoming release of 2.1.

2.0.3 of Wordpress includes:

Small performance enhancements
Movable Type / Typepad importer fix
Enclosure (podcasting) fix
The aforementioned security enhancements (nonces)

Upgrading is fairly simple, just overwrite your old files with the latest from the download. When you go to your admin it will give you a link to update your database.

Doesn’t seem like much on the outside, but of the many blogs I am running (over 15), I’m running 1.5.2 for this blog and a couple more, while the rest are v.2.0.1. I need to do a little catching up.

In other news, MSNBC has a disturbing article about the health problems being reported and measured from the 1st responders who suffered all kinds of environmental toxins at Ground Zero, and inhaled a toxic cocktail of asbestos, mercury, silica, fiberglass and other potentially hazardous materials released when the twin towers collapsed.

On to the wild side…there is continuing talk of the US attacking Iran this summer is coming around again, this time from Prison Planet and Alex Jones. A Former CIA Analyst Says Iran Strike Set For June Or July, according to Ray McGovern. Read some of the tripe McG brings to the world, of reasons why this attack may, or may not, occur….

Personally, anything Alex Jones brings to the table, I will ALWAYS take with a grain of salt. I don’t know of a SINGLE news item he has released that has PROVEN to be true…always conspiracy…always an EEEE-vil Federal Government….ohhh…scary….

For those of you looking at career opportunities, and with an interest in digital video, I’d like to recommend a very cool and quite helpful magazine called Digital Video. Click the link and sign up for a completely FREE subscription. Let me know if the link doesn’t work for you…I hope it does. They ASKED me to share and recommend it…and I do appreciate the knowledge I’ve gathered from it…give it a try.

And now for something completely different…

Tom Flocco is a nut job. Completely.

I hope you’ve heard of the REAL reason for the shut down of the Capital in DC this week, due to “gunshots” being heard there.

The national news covered it here…and here…

Tom has a completely different alternative reality, which involved spies, terrorists, bombs, the shut down of the rail lines between DC and NYC, and a passel of Secret Body Shop Guys being flown in under cover of darkness….well, you will just have to read it for your self…..ewww….

That’s it for now…
