WordPress 2.1.3 and WordPress 2.0.10 have been released! These releases include various security and bug fixes, so upgrade soon. Also, don’t forget, WordPress 2.2 is set to be released on April 23, 2007! So, keep an eye out for that.
I’ve upgraded, have you?
Since the original IE6 VPC Image is set to expire on April 1, 2007, the IE Team have released a new version. This new version (1.1) includes some security updates and is time-bombed for July 23, 2007. They say they’ll keep releasing these VPC Image’s until they see that they are no longer necessary. They’re a good way to see what your site looks like in IE6, if you have IE7 installed. Also, Virtual PC 2007 is out, so you can use that now instead of 2004.
Download Virtual PC 2007 (about 30MBs)
Download the IE6 Virtual PC Image (WARNING: about 400MBs)

WordPress 2.1.2 has been released due to a security exploit found in the download for 2.1.1. Someone hacked into a WordPress.org server, and modified a few files in the WP 2.1.1 download and added some malicious PHP code to them. So, if you’re running 2.1.1, upgrade immediately, your Site/Blog might be at risk!
I’ve upgraded, now you should! 😛

WordPress 2.1.1 and WordPress 2.0.9 have been released (WordPress 2.0.9 is the for the promise of them keeping the 2.x branch of WordPress “updated” with security patches, bugs, and the like).
I’ve upgraded, have you?
It appears now that Google has opened up the Gmail “Beta” to everyone to sign-up for. This has been reported many times before, but I myself have never seen the Sign-up Link on Gmail’s homepage. But, after logging out of Gmail earlier today, I noticed the content had been changed from the “announcement” of the Gmail App for Cell Phones to more of a “list” of cool Gmail features, and there was a sign-up link under the login box. That’s right, a sign-up link. Shocking, indeed. The sign-up link is here:
http://mail.google.com/mail/signup
Funny enough, when logged into Gmail, there is still a little box on the left hand side for “Invites”. Maybe this will become “Tell People About Gmail”?
Now you no longer have a reason not to switch to Gmail. 😛 Gmail has lots of space (2.8GB+), a good email search, it’s integrated with Google Talk, it has a nice Cell Phone Application and you can easily switch from other popular email providers. You also get things like free POP access, more storage everyday, etc. 😀
Here’s a screenshot of the Gmail homepage, for proof of the Sign-up link:
Update [February 16, 2007]: I found this on Google’s Blog:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/from-gmail-with-3.html
Which says that Gmail has been opened up for all users, worldwide, to register a Gmail account, without an Invite. Sweet, huh?
