Persian 1.0 theme for WordPress. Another groovy theme free for WP users.
Getting Dark
Boston is so weird, it’s only 4 in the afternoon and it’s already almost dark.

MPAA Hardball
Ryan Duff got a letter from the MPAA for using Bittorrent. We need something more secure.
PHP Caching
Just a shared memory PHP caching link to check out later. Has anyone used something like this? Is the Turck shm stuff better? Something from Zend? We shall see.

New Interview on Digital Web
There’s a new interview with me up on Digital Web that covers a lot of ground. The questions come from the lovely Meryl. As it tends to work in these things, most of the answers are actually a few months old, for instance it’s all from before I announced I’d be working at CNET. This is mostly my fault because I got so swamped after the move I didn’t have a chance to sync up with Meryl again. I’m willing to try something a little different though, something along the lines of the old Under the Iron model. If you have any questions you’d like to ask just leave them in the comments section for the article and I’ll do my best to answer everything there. Blogging is all about empowerment, right?
Props to Ryan
I just wanted to take a moment and send major kudos to Ryan for fixing so many bugs this weekend over Thanksgiving break.

Stop Worrying
how I learned to stop worrying and love WordPress, the fascinating story of Dan Sandler’s switch. The site looks great too. Only thing is the URIs are a little verbose.
WordPress Professional
If you’re a professional providing services or consulting around WordPress, definitely sign up for the WordPress Pro List to get connected. Whenever anyone asks me for WordPress consulting I always point them to this list.
Apple WordPress Weblog
It’s been all over, but I’m finally getting to check out the new new Apple education weblog which, coincidentally, is run by WordPress. I would like to thank the people who emailed me about this, in chronological order: Mike Carvalho, Serge K. Keller, Matt Willmore, Michael, John Roberts, Kyle, Michael Biven, Andreas Mayer, Noel Jackson, Manish, Jasmeet. I need to blog faster next time. 🙂 Update: Within the past two hours they commented out the “Powered by WordPress” text on the page. Before anyone jumps the gun it is entirely within their right to do so under the GPL, which I and the other developers believe strongly in, but it’s too bad as I think that could have been excellent exposure.

TrackBack and Pingback at News
TrackBack and Pingback supported by CNET News.com, this is the official announcement. (You heard it here first, of course.) I think the UI for this on their site is a little funky, but this is a huge step for news media.
In Boston
Okay so I’m finally here in chilly Boston, living it up. I’m open to recommendations on places to eat, things to do, and people to see. (Besides the Boston WordPress Meetup this Saturday.)
Case for Ping-O-Matic
Okay you’re blogging or writing a weblogging tool, you can ping 41 services today and who knows how many tomorrow, or just lock in rpc.pingomatic.com
and worry about more important things. Also I wouldn’t recommend pinging all of those services indiscriminately as some are for specific niches (blogs in German or Japanese for example) that your blog might not fit into. Don’t pingspam.
