For those geeks out there using Wordpress for their websites – get this plugin. It Automatically upgrades your wordpress to the latest code version.

The only kink I have run into with it is it has a habit of not reactivating your plugins, but really that only takes an extra second. I just finished upgrading the codebase of 5 different sites with it in about 10 minutes. That is about a tenth of the time it used to take me manually uploading the new WP files. I used to wait or delay upgrading site code till I was sure the kinks were worked out, till I got hit with a script attack that poisened every single one of my php files. After that I tried to be a little more proactive on keeping my site code up to date, but it was still a pain. This way, it was so quick and simple, even if there is a bugfix release tomorrow, I will be able to be right on top of it.

Highly recommended!

Plasma torch garbage processing produces usable gas, electricity

Saw this one over at CrunchGear – it sounds neat. Yet I wonder what the net return will be on this. Are fuel costs factored in to ship trash there once the immediate local garbage dump is exhausted? Judging by the scale implied, the plant isn’t going to move from dump to dump, so in the long run trash will have to go there. While the number of trash we produce will easily fuel this concept – can we get it their cheap enough to make it a more viable solution?

Check out Mark’s post on how to get your hands on XP. Officially it can’t be had anymore.

Windows XP has been retired but you can still get it

Mark has pointed out a source for us to try and get it. If you get a new machine with Vista on it, building a PC for mom, etc – might be worth the effort to try.
