Here’s my boss, CEO of Mashable, Pete Cashmore with a full 8 minute long pod on CurrentTV. I watch a lot of CurrentTV, but hands down (with little bit of bias) this is a great pod.

Please take the time tonight to gather your thoughts as you come up with ideas on how to spread the word about AWESOME people! I am looking for blog posts, twitters, powncers, facebooking, digging, flickring, stumpling on all things that are good about PEOPLE!

Also,  for the full details always check out the full list of changes. Here’s what they had to say for themselves on WordPress 2.3.2 :

WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Get 2.3.2 now to protect your blog from these disclosures.As a little bonus, 2.3.2 allows you to define a custom DB error page. Place your custom template at wp-content/db-error.php. If WP has a problem connecting to your database, this page will displayed rather than the default error message.For more detail on what’s new in 2.3.2, view the list of fixed bugs and see the changes between 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.Special thanks to Alex Concha for his help on this release.

I’m excited to try this out since I’ve been meaning to play around Joomla in the near future.

Here’s the full report via MakeUseOf:

BitNami makes it easier to download and install Open Source software packages (i.e. Wordpress, SugarCRM, Drupal, phpBB…) by bundling each package into preconfigured 1-click setup file. No need to deal with configuration settings or dependencies. Just download a package you need, run installation wizard, and that’s it. Once done, you will have a fully-functional and configured copy on your system.

“The BitNami Project was created to help spread the adoption of freely available, high quality Open Source web applications.”

Bitnami -

  • Advanced search: browse and search open source packages by category (Blogging, CMS, Collaboration, CRM, Wiki, Photo Sharing, etc.), technology (ASP.NET, Java, MySQL, Python, Ruby on Rails, etc.), license type (Apache, Creative commeons, EPL, GPL, …) or tags.
  • Recommend and vote on the next to be stacked apps on Bitnami polls.
  • BitNami forums: Get help and provide feedback on the BitNami stacks.

Microsoft really dropped the ball, again… FolderShare, which has been in beta for many many months now STILL isn’t Vista compatible. Microsoft’s own product isn’t Vista Compatible!!!

Honestly, I wrote them 2 months ago and again 2 weeks ago about Vista support and still no response. Yesterday, I checked the site and it was down. I got excited! Alas, this was the message when it comes back up:

What’s New?

newsNovember 18, 2007 - Windows Live FolderShare maintenance has been completed. All services are back online.
For the latest on FolderShare, visit our newsgroup.

Bastards! Still not Vista compatible. Idiots!

See the story of them promising to do more at: Foldershare admits problems - promises improvements soon (via LiveSide)
