Hey everyone, just 14 hours ago another essential WordPress Security Update was announced. It should patch your wordpress copy to version 2.3.2 – if you have setup WordPress using Subversion you can either run

svn up

from ssh using PuTTY or (somehow this did not work for me) you can try

svn sw http://svn.automattic.com/wordpress/tags/2.3.2/

happy updating (takes around 5 seconds actually).

Maybe another quick update from my side: I have finished translating the first eight (8) themes from English into Portuguese – they will be released once I have cleared all formalities with Samba!
The themes come updated in English, Portuguese and in a “branded” Samba! version. So you have three packages to choose from, but I doubt you are interested in a Samba! branded version if you can get the clutter-free English or Portuguese one.

Anyway, have a great New Year’s Eve in case I do not post anything else this year any more.

I am currently working in connection with Samba BR to release Portuguese translations of all my themes. In addition, new themes will be released, both in English and Portuguese. If you have other language translation requests, please let me know.

The themeviewer announced on December 11th that work is being done at the moment: they are trying to establish a SVN-like system for themes (as they have for plugins within days) right now. I will keep you posted with more wordpress news!

“Just wanted to do a quick update for those wondering when you’ll be able to add new themes or update existing ones here in the directory. We’ve been working very hard on a new Subversion-backed database for themes that will allow you to upload themes as you did before, as a plain ZIP file, and we’re transparently check it into SVN so changes can be tracked just like we do for WordPress development.

There will also be moderation and review so that we can scan themes for XSS problems, malicious code, spam links, and other ways that people have been distributing malware themes. I’m sorry this has taken longer than I thought it would, but the problems involved with doing things “right” are non-trivial. Most importantly we want to ensure that once the re-launch is done you’ll have easy, fast, and stable access to the best and brightest in the theme world, and you’ll never have to think twice about the code you’re downloading.”

Dear readers,
sorry for the lack of updates, I have been rather busy with university. Hence I am the General Manager of a small student company selling cardboard chairs (Fold ‘n Joy S.C.) and we have had some selling events recently most of my “dedicated web time” was sucked away. Some weeks ago, I sorted out zone.net’s blog, if you care, check it out.

Also, in the meantime I am writing a fifteen pages coursework about Offshoring and how western companies can benefit from it.
Then, concurrently there is another paper of twenty pages to be written. It is about a frozen food and should empower students to apply theoretical knowledge about international market screening and portfolio models. Sigh.. it´s really a lot of typing, thinking, deleting and re-doing things.

Once I am done, I´ll have to finish that Paris Hilton header for Gareth, work on themes for a Brazilian telecommunications company, carry-out some internal theme changes (gosh, the menu here looks way screwed on my MacBook – now as I got one I can tell) and then -IF- there is some spare time, do another Mischland mix for Deviantradio.

There is also a jungle/oldschool collection getting dust on in the cellar, I really need to get hold of another mixer (I own a Pioneer DJM-500) that is more interactive. It is really understandable to me seeing the RSS-readers count go down (from 390 in June when I released all those themes, to 250 when I posted some link collections to now 94 from inactivity…) – but believe it or not, I already scheduled a come back for December (only minor though, will be doing theme work then for Brazilian company), and the bigger one in January, where I have four week of lecture free time. I hope the themeviewer will then (at LAST!!) be fixed.

Will I be rumbling about Macs now as I got one? Not sure, but I guess so- my transition from PCs to a Mac have been rather unspectacular. I already call my Macbook CRAPbook (I hate not having a ‘right-click’ button but pressing “apple-key” – click)… well guys, see you around and thanks for sticking by.

I have some Harvey Birdman Attorny at Law (all episodes) piled up, just waiting for a free moment to release the links (I found).

Thanks for the Great feedback received on Rainbow Feather Theme Version 2 (includes bugfixes and is valid xhtml and valid css)
You can get your Rainbow Feather WordPress theme copy here.

I have been away, as you might have noticed, for about ten or so days. Sorry for the lack of updates. I have been to Sardina, Italy. Using my newly acquired Canon EOS 350D I took some interesting pictures (some 460 MB). Some are landscape, water, fire, plants, object pictures, others are hard to describe. Soon to come.

University is moderately occupying me, I worked on two themes in the meantime (two business style themes) – still the themeviewer at wordpress.net is down to updates. I wonder what the people maintaining it are doing. It is a community thing, isn’t it?
If they fail to patch it up, why not ask for help, I am sure many people would volunteer to help out.
I am overwhelmed by all the spam-themes removed from the themeviewer, it is really a joy surfing the corrected version. Have you tried it out recently?

In other news, there is a lot to do and my PC (using zalman reserator v2) is dying every randomly 3-5 hours or sometimes even 30 minutes. No warnings, nothing, just restarts. This is great when working in Photoshop, Word or Coding stuff. (not really)
I wonder if they can exchange it. Also my Sony notebook is being repaired once again. Quite a “monday”-model I got there. I tried out adconion when I was away and made a whooping 20 Euros vs. 140 Dollars that I usually make with Google Adsense. Now what? Keep Adconion, as they are nice and even call in, or change back to the more lucrative Google Adsense?

I am off, listening to Above and Beyond – Anjunabeats Volume 5 1-Hour Promo Mix and doing some work for university. Thank you all for your plenty comments, I promise when the next vacations come (in four weeks or so?), I will be dedicating it to updating my sites and themes. Maybe by then, they are done updating the themeviewer. sigh

You should have seen Apple advertisements: Even though they are short (around 30 seconds each), they are really taking the piss out of PC’s. Personally, I use PC’s: I have two desktop PC’s and one Notebook, however I thought about switching the notebook over to ‘the other side’, the ‘bright side’. Check those ads out and feel free to post additional ads in the comments.

“Accident” – depicting the Mac is safe with the MagSafe connector on new Mac notebookes comes disconnected with a tug, while PC can hurt if power cord has been yanked.
