I wrote over 18 months ago about LinkedIn; and some trends I saw of people just linking with unknown contacts.
That’s still rife; I see colleagues who are linked to people and I know they have no idea who they are.
Guy Kawasaki wrote an interesting article about using LinkedIn – certainly good basic information; especially for those looking to hire or be hired. I especially like the comment about tracking down your potential manager.
Hot on the heels of WordPress 2.0.6 release candidate – is WordPress 2.1 beta 1.
I tried the alpha from subversion on this blog a while ago; it looked promising. Now we are at beta 1.
You can get the beta from here; knowing the test and release team – it will be live in weeks.
It was the Christmas of 1981 that I received my first computer; a Sinclair ZX81.
It’s been over 25 years since I started using Wordstar and dBase on CP/M running on TeleVideo TS802 and later TS803 machines.

I’ve been working with the next version of ZENworks all week; and for several reasons I needed to clear up my MSI database on several Windows machines.

Update time again – this time for another security issue.
Here’s the mail from wp-testers:

http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2006/Dec/0463.htmlWe also changed how we escape HTML attributes. Escaping is done with a new
attribute_escape() function.http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/4656
This touched a lot of files so we need to do some broad testing to make sure we didn’t fat finger anything.
Should be GA soon; advisable to upgrade.
