Death by risk-aversion

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Death by risk-aversion is the latest post on Creating Passionate Users, one of my all time favourite blogs. This is a must read post for entrepreneurs, middle managers and CEOs. The title of the post really says it all ?Äì those that play it safe are destined to a slow painful death or at least never reaching a level above basic mediocrity. The winners in the new business arena are the innovators who give the middle finger to the status quo. Playing it safe could cost you your business.

Memo to Microsoft: you’ve got people doing some amazing things over there. If you could just get the hell out of the way, the world might change for the better.

Risk-aversion is the single biggest innovation killer, and of course it’s not just Microsoft that’s been infected. Taking risks is… risky. But if not taking risks is even riskier, then WTF?

WordPress New Release Available

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

WordPress, our favorite Blog software, has announced a new release of its software that cleans up a number of pesky bugs from their previous release. If you havent tried WordPress, now is the time to go get it. You wont be disappointed.

It?Äôs been exactly one month since we released the well-received WordPress 2.0 release. In the past 4 weeks we?Äôve been listening closely to feedback, squashing bugs wherever we find them, and watching how 2.0 handled under different loads.

We?Äôve rolled up all the most important fixes into a 2.0.1 release, which is now available for download.
All in all we?Äôve closed 114 bugs in the 2.0.1 release, which you?Äôre welcome to check out if you?Äôre curious about every fix. To summarize:

  • You can now specify an upload directory, and whether to use date-based storage or not.
  • Caching has been fixed under certain PHP enviroments.
  • Permalinks have been fixed for weird enviroments as well.
  • XML-RPC uploading works.
  • Compatibility with older versions of PHP.
  • Several WYSIWYG fixes and cleanups.
  • Imports now use much less memory.
  • Now works with MySQL 5.0 in strict mode.

Happy blogging!
