KRON 4’s Brian Shields Reports on Wordcamp.
Opera Fixes
Opera 8.0 Beta 2 fixes an important CSS bug : “Fixed issues with styling of <fieldset>. This solves display issues with the WordPress administrative interface.”
Usability Testing
We’re doing some usability tests in New York City, want to join?
Fake Steve Unmasked
The New York Times has figured out who the blogger is behind Fake Steve Jobs, and even links to his personal WordPress.com blog. I had no idea we had FSJ in our midst. Mr Lyons, if you’d ever like to move the blog to WordPress we’d be happy to make you a VIP.
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.
German WordPress Book
This German WordPress book is, as far as I know, the first to be published exclusively about WP. Here’s to many more. They sent me an email and hopefully I’ll get a copy in the mail soon.
RNC Timeslices
We ♥ Laura. Parents will always be there. Fantastic picture.
Original Indiana Jones
For the first time in his life Rahn met someone even more obsessed with finding the Grail than he was. Indeed, so confident was Himmler of finding the Grail that he’d already prepared a castle – Wewelsburg in Westphalia – for its arrival. In the basement, surrounded by busts of prominent Nazis, was an empty plinth where the Grail would go.
The original Indiana Jones: Otto Rahn and the temple of doom. Truth is stranger than fiction.
XML-RPC Vulnerability
To clarify for all the confused people WordPress is not affected by the recent XML-RPC problem that lots of other apps were. We use different, more secure libraries for XML-RPC. The problem was discovered by the same guy though, I imagine he was auditing our code and found totally unrelated, which we fixed in our recent release. Of course you wouldn’t guess that from the title, “PHP Blogging Apps Vulnerable to XML-RPC Exploits.” Let’s go down the list: PostNuke – content management; WordPress – blogging; Drupal – content/community management; Serendipity – blogging; phpAdsNew – ad serving; phpWiki – wiki (not blogging); phpMyFAQ – FAQ management. If it bleeds it leads, right? 😉
TEDMED
I’m going to be attending TEDMED this year. I think we’re at a crucial juncture for health, where in my lifetime we’ll look back at our treatments today with the same wonder as we have when contemplating medicine before the understanding of germs. I have a feeling TEDMED will be the best spot to get a glimpse of this future.
Prince on WP
Prince uses WordPress at 3121.com. Hat tip: Ben Yarbrough.
Cappadocia
Arriving at Museum Hotel, underground cities, rock-cut temples and ancient churches.
International URIs
Internationalized URI support in WordPress. Does your weblog tool do that? (This means you can have characters like جØخدذ in your URIs.
Africa, Ulusaba
Arrived at the Ulusaba Game Reserve in South Africa with Richard Branson, saw some hippos, elephants, and a cheetah, followed by a delicious dinner — the last one from their current chef.

Mac Theme Development
Round 2
I could enjoy these more if I cared for the design of the site itself. Sequels always have trouble.
Shirts Apart
Oh no, someone went and did it, a somewhat crude blogging shirt parody site. They’re sparing no one, as evidenced by their Screw Template Tags WordPress spaghetti tank. I have no idea who’s behind this. Note: If you want real WordPress swag, we do have an official store.
Paris WordCamp
At WordCamp Paris and dinner afterward.
