Owls Count

WordPress 2.6 has been released. I have upgraded this blog - a rather quick and easy process.

Also, I have moved server recently. Hopefully everything is up and working correctly. If not let me know. The move was fairly painless - just a little while spent working out where all the setting were kept.

The new version of WordPress adds additional protection for cookies. It is very much worth adding the config option mentioned, since it helps protect against problems where a database have already been compromised.

Hot on the heels of WordPress 2.5.0 is the security update - WP 2.5.1.

Rumours that I have as many draft posts as SKG are false - though more than ten will exist soon if I keep leaving them unpublished!

The new version (2.5) of WordPress came out recently. Upgrading this blog went smoothly.

The most noticeable change is the redesign to the admin section. It is certainly a big improvement on the old.

My Route

From waking up on Saturday morning I was never feeling too great and this was reflected in my run. While my navigation and route choice was ok, I never managed to get a decent pace going.

For the first couple of controls my navigation was off. I was not taking enough notice of the map and compass - meaning I was running a way off. Through the next section I kept up a reasonable pace and navigated well. I had a small wobble on the way to 6, but sorted this out when I found 10 on route.

After getting to the spectator control I should have retired - I was not running well. I finished in just over 71 minutes, but should have taken 50-55.

I have been using Minefield for a while. This will be released as Firefox 3 at some stage next year and there have been some good improvements. Recently I switched to using this runscript to solve the problems of using the non-default Firefox. Through the -no-remote switch I can also use Firefox 2 at the same time, which is useful for testing and allows me to have a profile setup with web developer extensions.

How-To Geek recently posted instructions on setting GMail as the default mail client in Ubuntu. In the comments are equivalent instructions for Kubuntu users and there is an altered script that also deals with cc/bcc/subject/body.
