WordPress 2.0.7 is out

Yes, it’s only ten days since I mentioned that WordPress 2.0.6 was available, but a combination of the FeedBurner issue and a nasty security problem that could be a major problem for WordPress installations on some servers has led to the rather rapid release of WordPress 2.0.7.

This is a security update, and all WordPress users are advised to upgrade. If you’re already on 2.0.6[1], you just need to replace six files, which are listed on the Development Blog. If you’re on an earlier version, you might want to look at Bryan Layman’s nifty upgrade script. I used a slightly earlier version to get to 2.0.6, and a much earlier version for 2.0.5, and it worked nicely for me.

However you upgrade, make sure you do.

Version 2.1 is scheduled for release this time next week. But if you’re not ready for the major changes that will bring, don’t worry – the developers will continue to maintain 2.0.x for a long time to come.

One quick picture…

Cardinal Basil Hume

I can tell I’m not going to sort out all of today’s pictures this evening, but I thought I’d put this one up as a start. It’s the statue of Cardinal Basil Hume, which stands outside St Mary’s Roman Catholic Cathedral in Newcastle, just a short walk from the station.

I’ve been meaning to walk along there and have a proper look, as it’s a very interesting piece of work, with lots of lovely texture. Much more lifelike than the traditional statues in other parts of town. I was mildly surprised to find that the statue and its surrounding memorial garden were opened in May 2002 – I knew I’d left it a while, but I didn’t think it had been nearly five years[1].

Anyway, this is one of the better pictures I got today – I was aiming to have the statue in sharp focus with the Cathedral blurred in the background, and I think I just about managed it.

More pictures to follow, including the latest in the Westgate House series.

Week Three

I was running late this morning, and caught the bus instead of walking. I really shouldn’t have bothered, because there was a seemingly endless delay at Gateshead, and I ended up getting to the office at much the same time as if I’d walked. And I was just in the wrong mood at home time, so I caught the bus home as well. That did get me there a bit quicker than walking, though.

I did have a bit of a walk with my camera at lunchtime, and I’ll be showing off the results of that later.

And this evening, I persuaded myself to get on with the exercise routine:

  1. 10km on the exercise bike
  2. A Bullworker set
  3. 120 crunches
  4. 5 minutes on the rowing machine

My peak heart rate was 153.
