Upgrade to Wordpress 2.5.1

Finally time to upgrade to 2.5, cause 2.5.1 is out.

Also, some hacking to get the little subtitle under the post title to display the tags, not the category, which I don’t really use.

Really, just an excuse to try out the new tripped out admin interface. Silky smooth.

Olympic Torch Protester Arrested

These two cops appeared to be in charge of the 100’s (1000’s?) of cops on the ground:

Head Honcho Olympic Torch security

What. A. Day. The only violence I saw was a cop shoving someone out of the street. Definitely less violent than the last time the SFPD had battalions of officers running around in riot gear.

Least we forget:

Tiananmen Square, 1989

China still has a long way to go.

Millions of Billions of Gagillions

I want to give a quick shout out to my buddies over at OpenDNS. They just recently served up their trillionth DNS query (that’s a 1 followed by 12 zeros). Not bad considering 30 months ago this was two 23 year-olds and a pile of servers humming loudly on the desk between them.

In other news, blog.fogel.ca just recently hit 1,000 unique pageviews. wooo-wooo!
