Kanok’s Balcony

Last October was a very busy month, don’t know why.  Three project in the pipeline and one starting.  Weekend also a handful one, 3 places in 4 weeks!  Hopefully will be ease up by the end of the year.

I just upgrade the Wordpress engine to the latest version 2.6.3, mostly for security patch.

Yesterday was Loy Kra Thong festival.  Went to Chula Uni and faced with big crowd.

Just want to let you know that Microsoft just release Live wave 3 or 3rd edition of Live suite.  Number of online application are included but the one most people know is Messenger.  The new one has Aero look and feel, also can login from multiple PCs.  The other is my favorite, Live Writer.   Let’s have a try.  

Go to http://download.live.com/ and select download.

I’ve successfully upgrade my blog software to Wordpress 2.6.   What’s new and improvement can be found at www.wordpress.org or if you have 3 minutes and 29 seconds spare time, you can watch the video below.

ใครที่เป็น blogger ตัวยงก็คงจะรู้จักโปรแกรม Wordpress ดีพอสมควร ตอนนี้มี version 2.5 release candidate 1 ออกมาให้ลองเล่นดูแล้ว ใครสนใจก็ไปลองเอามาเล่นดูได้ที่นี่ครับ

Update 31-03-08:  Now WordPress 2.5 is officially released.    Kanok.net/blog has also upgraded to 2.5

Just a quick notice that WP has release version 2.3.3, a security release.  Learn more from this release at Wordpress blog.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. If you have registration enabled a flaw was found in the XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow a user to edit posts of other users on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs.

The [MySQL server has gone away] problem has been fixed by the info from this blog.  Actually it is a problem about the way WordPress talks to SQL server which I don’t know a bit. At least the photo page back to work again.  That’s all I care.   ChaiYo!!

WordPress  software ตัวเก่งของผมที่ใช้ทำ blog อยู่ขณะนี้  ออกรุ่นใหม่คือ 2.3.1  ซึ่งทาง blog development แจ้งมาว่ามีการ update หรือ bug fix อยู่กว่า 20 รายการ  ที่สำคัญๆ คือการแก้ bug ของ Windows Live Writer ด้วย  ก็หวังว่าคงไม่ทำให้ blog เล็กๆ อย่างนี้ต้องเดี้ยง เพราะ version ไม่ compatable นะ

One thing I like about WordPress is plugin support.  This allow almost infinite variety of custom plugin.  Now I have almost 10 running in my blog both on user side and admin side.  The newest one is the Post Rating that give user ability to rate the post.  The other one is Simple Tags that manage the posting tags.  Even though WordPress has built-in tag functionality, this is more manageable.

Now I have full feature tag management online, wish the WLW that I use to write the post has the same ability too.  I wonder are these plugins load my web server a lot?  May be I need to install another plugin to monitor it.. 

After upgrading to WP 2.3, Flickr page seems to have lots of problems. Or may be it already has got problem before the upgrade but I didn’t notice. Any way, now weather page has to wait and all effort is on fixing photo page. Sorry

I start this blog less than a week. Haven’t announced to the public yet. Now I upgrade the blog software already.

Almost next day after I start the blog, WordPress releases a new version. This version 2.3 improves many feature but the one I decide to upgrade is Tag support.

Let’s see what brakes by this upgrade..
