Today WordPress had released the final version of 2.5. I have successfully installed it into my Sandbox and am playing with it aggressively. I will be adding information as I go, but here is what I had so far:
First of all, for those who don’t know what a “Sandbox” is, this is an area I designated as a test area. In this case, I have a computer at my home in which I installed XAMPP (an acronym for Apache, MySQL, PHP and PERL – the X stands for the “Four”). The Sandbox is a great way to test new plugins, CSS code or anything. One thing to keep in mind in mantaining a Sandbox, though – make sure your Sandbox matches your websites credentials (example – if your Sandbox is running PHP 5 and your website runs on PHP 4, then the test area is pointless).
So Far I have done the following:
This week we talk with Groucho Marx – famous Comedy legend from early film and stage.
Don’t you think? Cnet yesterday laid off 4.5% of their workforce – 120 jobs in the news department (US) were “Streamlined”. The difficult decision was made so the company could get back on track.
What is Ironic about it? Well, if you search online, you will notice one major source missing. In fact, I went to their website and search specifically on the subject and found nothing.
Cnet news isn’t reporting of the layoff.
Web browsers are just as debated as Operating Systems and Political affiliations. The Web Browser is the program that allows you to browse the web, so you want the best experience possible. And Just like Operating Systems you can also choose the web browser that you use. So which one is it? IE or Firefox. Maybe Safari? Maybe even Opera?

2 Comments »Last week we did a clean install of 2.5 and all went smooth. Today we’ll run 2.5 on an existing database.
The First thing I did was backed up the existing Database. Once that was accomplished, I proceeded to install 2.5 in a clean directory.
Next week we’ll talk about installing plugins and widgets to get 2.5 back to where it was before.

On the new live show, Bot came over and chatted. We had the recorder on. Here is the conversation:
*Lights Dim*
Ladies and Gentlemen. It is time for our feature bout. And it’s for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE! In this corner, In the Red shorts, bringing you news since 1999, Drew Curtis and FARK.com. And in this corner in the Blue Shorts, bringing you news since 2004, Kevin Rose and Digg.com. So, with the thousands in attendance, and the millions drinking a cappuccino and not really caring a lot, LETS GET READY TO POST!
Ok, so it’s not the fight of the century, but it’s pretty interesting. A few weeks back, Fark.com posted an article pointing to Digg.com. The article was a Digg that pointed to Fark. Infinite recursion and Duke still sucks (You have to be a real Farker to understand that one).
