We’ve recently made some changes to help improve the communication between plugin authors and plugin users about the changes that are made between versions.
We feel that all software should have a changelog that details, at a high level, what changes have been made in each version so that the user can make an informed decision about when to upgrade and how much testing they should do with their site.
In order to make this an easy and open communication channel we have added support for a Changelog section in the plugins readme.txt file. This changelog information is then displayed as a separate tab in the plugin directory and also in the back end of your WordPress blog when you view the details on a new version of a plugin.
The new section is formatted as follows:
We would also like to recommend that you also provide meaningful log messages when you commit changes to the subversion repository for your plugin so that people who want to dig further into your changes can see why things are changing (At the moment is seems a large number of plugin authors leave this field blank which isn’t very helpful).

We are extending the JVM with first-class architectural support for languages other than Java, especially dynamic languages. This project will prototype a number of extensions to the JVM, so that it can run non-Java languages efficiently, with a performance level comparable to that of Java itself.
Our emphasis is on completing the existing bytecode and execution architecture with general purpose extensions, as opposed to a new feature for just one language, or adjoining an unrelated new execution model.
We want the new languages to co-exist gracefully with Java in the JVM, and to benefit (like Java) from its powerful and mature technologies.
We are looking to remove “pain points” already observed by implementors of successful or influential languages, as opposed to attempting more speculative work on unproven features or niche languages.
Major sub-projects include dynamic invocation and extensions to class loading. There is a large number of more speculative, lower-priority sub-projects. These are included in hopes that someone in the community will become excited with us at the prospects of a more dynamic JVM, to the point of sharing in its creation.
Wonder why Nokia developed BL-4C battery.
It is such a waste of money and devices compatible with it could have been made compatible with BL-5C, a far superior battery from Nokia which most of the phones from Nokia use.
The Nokia BL-4C has a very little charge life, and also the lifetime is short too.

I am a big fan of simple themes, so i keep looking for simpler themes.
And i keep a copy of these at my local drive, what if the designer thinks of pulling the theme off the web, silly indeed;)
One of the recent themes i found is a custom theme designed by Noel Jackson of Automattic for his personal weblog at http://jcksn.com/
here is a screenshot of his about page:
Another of a post:
There are other themes too that i liked very much.
Those are Cleanr by Chandra Maharzan, Thematic by Ian Stewart and Hybrid by Justin Tadlock
Cleanr is a fine theme with medium size fonts, it is a sensible design. The theme is a two column one with everything so clear and clean it is a great design. Cleanr is available for download at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cleanr.
Demos are available at author’s site Cleanr demo and at http://wordpress.org at http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/cleanr.
Thematic has been designed by Ian Stewart of http://themeshaper.com/, It’s description at wordpress.org goes as follows:

Well i have been on twitter.com, and i still do the twitter thing.
To me it’s a wonderful thing to happen small bit size blogging, i would call it “Bit blogging” or “Nibble blogging”.
Truly a bird’s twitter how good it sounds, well it’s a totally a wonderful phenomenon, and i like very much.
But what i don’t like is people trying to milk twitter too, there are companies out there that offer links to post in “Tweets”, the Twitter updates, that’s what they call it. 
These links are advertisements, holy crap!!!!! ads even on 160 word size posts??
Yeah it is happening and leave alone those who are twitter marketing, i mean marketing on twitter.
Just join twitter and you have followers selling money principles and ideas, they have their money formulas ready for you.
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
I mean Twitter guys are so patient and may even be incurring losses but they haven’t put up advertisements on yet. don’t know how they are compensating their costs, hosting etc.
This twitter thing has grown so big yet twitter folks have kept a mum on whether they would do active advertising on twitter.
And then there are those bots etc on twitter too!
It’s a shame, i mean why can’t you leave a free small, cheerful service like twitter alone?
Today i had the honor of viewing the web advertisements by Google on my blog at http://blockport.wordpress.com.
Yeah i am talking about this very blog. I searched my blog through Google and the page i visited had a simple half – banner ad on it but the custom ad matched the blog theme very well and it didn’t seem odd as ads on other websites does.
Wordpress does deploy Google ads on public blogs at http://wordpress.com to cover their costs.
but they do it occasionally.
It is the first time i have ever seen an ad on a http://wordpress.com subdomain.
We had a post regarding desktop browsers. Firefox does rule the Desktop world but for mobile devices Opera Mini is the king
i use a set of browsers for desktop browsing primary among them are Mozilla’s Firefox, Google’s Chrome and Opera Desktop Edition but what i really like, is also my favourite browser that is the good old Opera Mini Basic.
It is world’s smallest browser at 57 kB but one of the fastest and most wonderful little being it is.

Intense Debate vs ordinary wordpress comments
In Uncategorized on July 25, 2009 at 12:07 pmIntense debate is a new phenomenon and Automattic is proud of it as it features Intense Debate on its front page along with other useful and wonderful services.
But Intense Debate takes its time to load and thus increase the overall loading time of the page.
i trued Intense Debate and am still using it at my WordPress installations and at my Blogger blog.
Intense Debate is wonderful in other respects but the default fonts are small in size, yes it does save space but these are too compact and overall commenting is clouded, increase the font and line spacing a but might help.
I am used to WordPress and Blogger usual commenting systems and they do look good in their default font sizes.
Another thing is this load time increase, the intense debate commenting system or say setup increases the load time of the page overall and the spacing meant for intense debate loads after a while after rest of the page has loaded itself.
In Blogger situation worsens because it takes far more time than in WordPress installations, but overall it is a great tool and a revolution in commenting world, and i love it.
