Jish is Back
Jish stopped blogging a few months ago but he is back and better than ever with Destinova, a traveller’s weblog. Great usage of WordPress, sub-categories, and the link manager. Not to mention the blog itself. 🙂

Old and New Apple
Tantek put an old Apple sticker (as old as me) on his iBook lit logo and you can see how they’ve changed the shape. It also just looks cool.
Anil’s Links
Jeremy’s New Job
New Job (Again) for Jeremy Zawodny.
OS CMS
Open Source CMS review at Linux Insider. “Although WordPress appears to be very simple, its power lies in a well-planned interface and design. In addition, its product development is extremely active.”
WP and Safari
This ZDNet article says Safari doesn’t work with WordPress as well as IE. I’m assuming he’s referring to the quicktags which just can’t be done in Safari because of JS limitations, but is anyone else having issues using WordPress with Safari?
PHP Charts
The PHP + Flash chart maker has been updated with some neat new features. Been very happy with this over at Ping-O-Matic and we’re going to expand what we’re doing a bit.
Metadata-Aware Grep
Wouldn’t it be cool if once Reiser4 and other metadata-aware filesystem are more widespread you could have metadata-aware grep that allows you to search from the command line like you can from the iTunes search box, keying on any or all of the available data.
Typo
I had a small typo in my new random photo SQL code so on every page load it was selecting all 9,000+ photos in random order instead of just one. Fixed now, so page loads should be a lot faster. (Everything is cached except for the random photo.)

Jimmy Wales
Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, is blogging with WordPress now. Hat tip: Joi and Jean-Luc.
15 Questions
Zeldman asks Derek 15 questions in 1998. Kids these days need 21 questions.
Yahoo and RSS
Yahoo is standardizing on RSS 2, and everyone knows Google loves Atom 0.3. Battle of the titans?
Global Test
Now you too can take “The Global Test”.

Bloglines Trouble
“There is a problem with the database. Please try again later” — Been seeing this a lot at Bloglines lately. I wonder if they’re going to go through the same awkward growing period Technorati went through.
Command Line Tricks
Senuti
Senuti, iTunes backwards. Clever. Hat tip: again Steve Jenson.
