This will be the only release candidate before the final release before the 2.3 final release scheduled for 24th September 2007.
Download WordPress 2.3 RC1 here and report any lingering bugs here. Also, if you have multiple plugins installed then update the plugin compatibility list. This will helpful to the plugin authors fixing incompatible plugins and also users looking for plugins.

Hot Ubuntu Wallpapers
Like to see ladies on your desktop? Ravi over at All About Linux (Thanks Ravi!!)has compiled a list of hot Ubuntu wallpapers from gnome-look.org. I’m quite sure that your manager won’t be happy if he saw a pair butt chicks with Ubuntu tattooed on them on your workstation.
My favorite 2 would be the bent over devil and the butt chick with Ubuntu tattooed on it. Hot!!
I don’t feel the wallpapers are suitable for children so please be cautious while viewing them.

WordPress 2.3 Plugin Compatibility List
WordPress 2.3 Release Candidate 1 will be released later today. Since I’m in Malaysia where it’s 13 hours ahead of the US, I will have to wait till tomorrow to read the official announcement.
There are quite a few changes being implemented into 2.3 that are concerning a lot of people especially in the plugin compatibility area . The biggest change has to be the addition of Taxonomy support and the DB schema changes that come with it.
Plugins that depend on categories are most likely to break. Life will be difficult for some but this is where the beta releases and release candidates come into play. Plugin developers will have sufficient time to play and test the latest release and update their plugins accordingly.
Rest assure that since WordPress has a large user base and great community support, updates for broken plugins will be released within a matter of hours if not days from the release date.
As an end user what can you do?
I would suggest getting comfortable with the new upcoming 2.3 release and understanding the changes. Test run the betas and release candidates to identify bugs or incompatibility issues with plugins.
Also think about contributing to the Community maintained WordPress 2.3 Plugin Compatibility List. The list is made up of plugins that work and break with the new release. The goal of the list is to ease the discovery of working plugins and those that need work.
I am certainly looking forward to 2.3. I get excited every time a new version of my favorite softwares get released. Boy’s toys effect I guess 
Save the dogs, sign the petition
Image reads: The people’s dog catching competition.
Who on earth would start a competiton to catch stray dogs? Let me tell you who, the municipal of Selayang, Malaysia. This is crap and to add injury to insult they are throwing in 15K,13K and 11K in prize money to the winners(jackasses who catch the most dogs!!).
The Selayang municipal council is doing the wrong thing and from the looks of it trouble coming their way. We live in a country where people would rob an old lady for cash so imagine what would happen when they find out there is 15k on the table for catching dogs. Will your dogs at home be spared by these people?
I agree that stray dogs need to be taken off the streets and given a home but not in this manner. They are such loving and gentle animals. Can’t we show compassion? SPCA, PAW should be ready to handle this, where are they?
I live in an area filled with cats and I hate cats. They get into your home and take a dump, eee!!! I’ve tried complaining to the neighbors but they decide to ignore. What kind of pet owners are these people? I want a pet but not the responsibility that comes along with it. Sometimes I feel like putting shotgun to the cat’s head when my dog has them cornered and pulling the trigger but I don’t. Why? Well I believe no one on planet earth has the right to taken the life of another being. Simple…
We need your support to save these poor animals. Please sign the “Stop The Hunt petition” to stop the competition.
Look at the smile on his face. What is he so proud of?

No space left on device
The DBA I work with was reporting this error on the server she was working on. Every time she tried to add a new cron job the error would come up.
[oracle@###### - /db/home/oracle]
$ crontab -e
crontab: installing new crontab
cron/tmp.5821: No space left on device
crontab: edits left in /tmp/crontab.5821
From the error it’s quite obvious that it’s a space related issue. It’s not fun when you get woken up at 3am but anyway this is how I fixed the problem. read more
