Stumbled onto this site today. Lizzy Webcomic at Cybernetic Evil Studios.
They produce some really cool flash based comics based on cybernetic story lines. The one I was checking out today was Lizzy . Every page follows the traditional comic style of having multiple frames and word bubbles but with additional sound and animation to spice it up.
Check it out for your self at Lizzy Webcomic and tell me what ya think.
WordPress 2.3 Beta 1 released is available for testing now.
The jewel in this version has to be the built in tagging support. What happens to all those using Ultimate tag warrior then? No worries as there is an Ultimate Tag Warrior importer bundled within version 2.3. If you choose to continue to stick with Ultimate Tag Warrior or Simple Tags you could certainly do so too. There is also a built in converter to help convert your current categories to tags.
I just had 2.3 installed at home so not much testing has been done. Plan to start later tonight.
If you are already running 2.3 make sure it is not production and only for testing. Have your bugs or concerns submitted at the bug tracker to the tester list. You could also join #wordpress-bugs channel on IRC to participate in the first bug hunt for WordPress 2.3

Can you access YouTube? I can’t. All I get is “Http/1.1 Service Unavailable”
Mashable had an update stating that YouTube was down but came back after a 6 hour outage but somehow I still can’t get throug.
Sorry guys, Mashable’s post was from 2006. My bad, totally missed that. Thanks David.
Update (21:11 GMT +8) : YouTube is back up.
Update (22:18 GMT +8) : You Tube is down again. It was up like 20 minutes ago.
Update (09:13 GMT +8) : YouTube is back to normal.
Anyone else facing this?
Skype’s back now.
The major outage experienced by millions of Skype users a few days back was a results of Skype’s load balancing algorithm not being able to coupe with a sudden surge of login requests.
Why the sudden surge in login request? Microsoft had released a patch through windows update and most of the Windows boxes out set to auto update decided to reboot at the same time. Imagine.
Skype has since fixed their algorithm and are quite confident that this glitch will not repeat itself. I can’t really blame them for this, Skype’s always been good to me. I am quite sure that their infrastructure was setup to hale sudden spike but just not as high as what was experienced this time.
At least we can be happy that the outage was not caused by a security glitch or anything else in that manner. Skype’s been good to me all this time and I’m glad to see them back up and running.
