WordPress 2.9 is out
Just finished updating to WordPress 2.6 today. Here’s a few features which caught my extension.
- There’s a new recycle bin feature now called “trash”. You get to undelete posts, you get the idea.
- There’s a new built in image editor. You can crop,flip,scale any image you upload.
- Batch plugin updates. Finally, you get to update all your outdated plugins in one go.
- Oembed, embed videos directly into posts now without the need for extra plugins. Just paste your video’s url and wordpress will automatically embed it into your post.
For the full list read Matt’s post on WordPress 2.9.

Twitter Hacked
Reports are coming in that Twitter was hacked ealier today by an Iraninan organization known as the “Iranian Cyber Army”.
Twitter was defaced and the image below is what you got when you accessed Twitter.
Negative publicity like this is never good for giants like Twitter. Hopefully they will have better mechanisms in place to deter this from happening again in the future.
Twitter has yet to release an update on what happen or how much data was compromised. I will try to keep you up2date.
Update: Twitter DNS provider Dynect was compromised and not Twitter directly. Source
Update: Dynect was not compromised, someone logged in using a Twitter staff id and changed the DNS entries.
