Wordcamp – Las Vegas this weekend!

So, myself & Steven will be attending Wordcamp Las Vegas this weekend. I had known about it for a few days as a few of the folks following me on Twitter will be attending. Ah, social media!

There’s a number of exciting topics being discussed and it should be interesting as it’ll be my first time actually stopping in Las Vegas for anything more than gas. I just drove through this weekend on my way across the United States, a 2,400+ mile trip in my mean little Elantra.

If anyone is attending or in the area you should poke us. I’ll be staying in Vegas tonight and attending the first day of sessions. I’ll be hanging around in Los Angeles with Steven getting a few projects completed and enjoying the sunshine!

WordPress 2.7 released, worth the wait

WordPress 2.7 was just released a few moments ago (Found out on Twitter, where you should follow me) and I must say upfront: My, oh my, was it worth the wait.

Before I’ve even had a few moments to dig into it after upgrading about sixteen installations of it manually, I’m taken aback by just how thorough of development Automattic has put into the interface and every aspect of the backend. I’ll have more shortly but if you haven’t yet, upgrade!

Wordcamp Toronto, Day One.

Matt Mullenwag at Wordcamp Toronto

Matt Mullenwag delivers his ‘State of the Word’ address in front of a crowd of developers, designers and regular old wordpress users at Wordcamp Toronto. The event was a success and I’m looking forward to tomorrow. The lunch Fused Network sponsored at the event (as well as tomorrow’s) was excellent. It was a great opportunity to meet some faces involved in design, development & open source — worth a visit :)
