WordPress 2.5 Up And Running

Posted in WordPress on March 29th, 2008 by William Speruzzi

wordpressI just upgraded to the new version and things might be running a little out of wack for a while especially with some of the plugins not upgraded for 2.5. Not all of them are 2.5 compliant like the Print This Post plugin for example.

I’m pretty impressed with this upgrade and I know a lot of work went into it to make it load faster with a lot of other built in enhancements. Thanks to the WordPress team and all the developers for creating an excellent publishing platform.

Feel free to contact me if something isn’t working correctly.

This is a big one so read up before installing or maybe just do the prudent thing and wait a week or two. The hell with that, install now.

Got Scripts?

Posted in Personal on March 19th, 2008 by William Speruzzi

Does anyone out there have PDF versions of Into The Wild and The Darjeeling Limited? It seems that the studios who so generously posted scripts for download on their sites have made them all unavailable.

Please contact me if you do.

Update: Got The Darjeeling Limited PDF from Paul and Into The Wild from Gil. Thanks again guys.
