Testing a plugin

I am testing this new plugin which provides a pulse and a fade background color effect. I am just merely testing it.

You can very well ignore this post :-D

WordPress

An update to WordPresss.. Wheeee!

I love it when a new update is announced..It means more bug-fixes and more features. And the new version of WP does not disappoint. It has quite a few bug-fixes and changes. The most immediate noticeable change for me was the colorisation of the activated plugins as I activated them one by one after the upgrade. Makes a lot more easier to identify which are in use and which are lying around unused :-D

Apart from that, I managed to install a lot of cool plugins and update my blog’s look and feel quite a bit. One of the most noticeable changes is the weather updates of my city and an option to allow the viewer to choose a theme to suit to their liking.

Other subtle changes is a date on-hover time modified display (Hover over the date of the entry posting to see) and a insta-comment preview.

I have quite a bit of other plugins lined up too. Will get them online in the next two days or so ;-)

Microsux

All of us have just about had it with Microsoft. Their products suck, period. For our project, we have been trying to install SQL Server, Sharepoint, all M$ s/w. But there is some problem with our boxes cos they just do not want to communicate with each other. It keeps giving some or the other problem due to which we were not able to access each other across.

The guy in the company who was helping us was pretty frustrated too cos he himself with all his experience could not figure out what the problem was. It wasn’t his fault either. It was just that we were/are using M$ products :-(

However, he finally managed to make them work and communicate across and we got the sharepoint server installation done too. Now we need to get to the meat of the project and get done with it. The deadline approaches at a fast pace :-(
