    The next version of WordPress – version 2.1 is to be released later today and Aaron Brazell has a good post outlining 10 features of WordPress 2.1 you should be aware of. One that I love is the AutoSave feature. I have lost several posts during writing which I wouldn’t have lost if I had…

    A couple of people mentioned to me that they were having issues leaving comments once more on this site. On the advice of Donncha (lead developer for WordPress.com), I installed wp-cache 2.0 on this blog along with Donncha’s own patch for it.

    The presentations I gave to Microsoft Belgium this morning went really well and I received tremendously positive feedback. I have been asked not to talk about the content of the talks so I can’t say anymore about those. I met some cool people there. Dave and Tom organised the event, and ran it really smoothly,…

    In my last post, I was wondering how to fix the issues people were having leaving comments on this site. Attempts to leave comments were timing out and the comments were not being posted.

    I have had several reports from people who have had issues trying to leave comments on this site and it concerns me greatly. Conor made six attempts to leave a comment this afternoon (fair dues to his persistence) I initially thought it had to do with the number of comments in my Akismet queue but…

    Jeremiah Owyang is on a trip to China at the moment. He put up a post on his blog the other day saying he couldn’t access Robert Scoble’s blog from inside China – it seems to be blocked by the Great Firewall of China for some reason. I don’t know if this applies to all…
