No..not another Wordpress version!!
I logged in to my blog account 2 days back, after a verrry long time (I blame my project move in the professional world). I was surprised to find out so many things have happened in the Wordpress world. A new version has been released, many more vulnerabilities have been found and fixed…WAIT…a NEW version?? NOOOO! It feels like I just updated to a new version…is there a new one already!???
Wordpress is churning out new versions faster than my C2Duo / Vista machine can boot 
Don’t believe me? Look at these dates:
| Wordpress version | Release date |
| 1.5 (Strayhorn) | mid-Feb 2005 |
| 2.0 (duke) | Dec 2005 |
| 2.1 (Ella) | 22 Jan 2007 |
| 2.2 (Getz) | 16 May 2007 |
| 2.3 (Dexter) | 24 Sep 2007 |
| 2.5 (Brecker) | 29 Mar 2008 |
| 2.6 (Tyner) | 15 Jul 2008 |

WinSAG: Windows GUI for Simian (& other tools)
Recently one of my peers inherited some legacy code from an Israel team. It had around 800 C/C++ language files and 30 ASM files. The task for my peer was to somehow make sense out of it and port that to an embedded environment with a big size restriction. The size of the code […]
Cascade Virus: Down the memory lane.
I have always been fascinated with computer virii. My first exposure to computer virii was back in 1994, when my 360KB floppy disk got infected by STONED. The hype around virii was so much and I was so misinformed, I kept that infected disk in the jacket, away from all other diskettes I owned for […]
Virus group 29A disbanded - who’s next?
Couple of weeks back, 29A officially shut down business. 29A’s published work was one of the best (IMHO) sources for cutting edge virus technologies. Their e-zines provided a sampling of what was happening in the Virus underground during that period.
This was the last message posted by VirusBuster in their site:
I tried to contact ValleZ for […]
Yahoo vs Google: why Yahoo lags behind?
You wanna know why Yahoo lags behind Google? Look at the image below that I took from Yahoo’s careers site today (WW10.4). It shows all open reqs, sorted by date (descending).
As you probably noticed (follow the arrows please! ), the sort hasn’t happened properly. How did the coder miss this? No unit tests […]
Chess UCI protocol tracer utility
I have this bad habit of starting coding on some application, bringing it to an alpha-ready stage, dropping it and moving on to the next one. Fortunately I don’t do this in my day job, else I’d have got the boot long time back.
Couple of months back, I was working on a chess application. I […]
Good programmer = Sense of humor + Programming skills
I was trying to setup a debug machine today. My setup required a specific version of BIOS; I booted in to DOS and tried flashing the new version. The flash went on well and during the verification phase, the tool found couple of invalid regions. It automatically tried erasing/flashing again. I was impressed; “Good. The […]

Coolcode.cn (Wordpress plugin) site down!
Today morning I was surprised to see a couple of mails complaining that the videos I posted earlier here and here are not working! I checked them last night (ok…at 1am..technically it is today morning!) and they were fine. I use the excellent coolplayer 9.3 plugin in my Wordpress blog. I logged in to my […]
WP-Mollio comment_form hook fix - HowTo?
If you are using WP-Mollio theme in your Wordpress site, I’d suggest adding the comment_form hook in to your comments.php. Only if you have this statement, the plugins like “Subscribe-to-comments” will work.
How to add this hook?
Open comments.php
Find the lines of code shown below. You will find it near the end of the file.
