kanok.net/blog (WordPress 2.3.3)

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.

What’s new in PMA

logoPMA is one of the big photography show of the year while the other is Photokina. Each year the announcement of new product attract lots of news people including blogger and many web site. You can sit and relax at home browsing these blogs and webs to find what’s happen in the show.

I recommend DPreview.com which is one of the most well known web for photo news. The coverage always extensive including review.

OpenID (again)

Now with new PHP v5.x and WP-OpenID 2.1.2, I can officially announce that my blog is now fully support OpenID.

To recap the OpenID the definition is…

OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity. OpenID takes advantage of already existing internet technology (URI, HTTP, SSL, Diffie-Hellman) and realizes that people are already creating identities for themselves whether it be at their blog, photostream, profile page, etc. With OpenID you can easily transform one of these existing URIs into an account which can be used at sites which support OpenID logins.

Sound too technical!!!  Let’s try this..

OpenID is a free and easy way to use a single digital identity across the Internet

With one OpenID you can login to all your favorite websites and forget about online paperwork!

Sound easier?

Two places I usually recommend to get the OpenID for yourself and read more about it are..

OpenID Enable!

openid_logo.jpg Now I’ve added OpenID to my blog. OpenID is a new concept of one login on multiple website similar to Windows Live ID or Google Account. One good thing that different from others is this is the open standard which anyone can use and implement to their website.

Now my blog reader can use their own OpenID to register and login. Thanks to WP-OpenID WordPress plugin.

More on OpenID can be found at their project web here. The recommend site to get an OpenID is from VeriSign here and it free.

Now let’s see who will the first who login using OpenID

Become a TV drama series

Talking about the post on Pantip.com about her (real?) Flight Attendant life on Thai Airways which easily be come the top hits.  Later this become a book.  Then not long after I post to my blog about these posts, now I heard that Exact has bought the right for making TV series called สงครามนางฟ้า (Flight Attendant’s war).  Umm hopefully all the characters who may have exist will not sue the producer.  If this is her real story, it would not hard to guess who is who, isn’t it?

And these are some of the actor/actress:

พี่หนิง — ป้อง ณวัฒน์
พี่อิน — ก้อง สหรัถ
ริน — บี น้ำทิพย์
หนุ่ย — หยวน ดราก้อนไฟว์ 
เชอร์รี่ — เป้ย ปานวาด
หนิม (ในเรื่องชื่อหน่อย) — ไอซ์ อภิสดา
คุณแม่พี่หนิง — ฮันนี่ ภัสสร

Blog is Back in Business

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!!

Upgrade woes

Ha ha. The Photo page breaks again after I upgrade the plug-in to the new version. This one use database to keep cache instead of files. May take sometime before I have time to look at it. Anyway, all of my photo still there at my Flickr page

WordPress 2.3.1

images 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

Post Rating and Tag

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..  🙂
