WordPress 3.0

I heard pre­cisely one per­son com­plain­ing loudly when Word­Press 3.0 first released but I’ve hit no snags so far — ele­gant, pain­less upgrade on Web­Fac­tion (Dis­clo­sure: I’ve got an affil­i­ate link in there, 10% of your spend — but I’d rec­om­mend them even if you want to strip the link out) which is more than can be said for most web hosts I’ve used over the years.

Admit­tedly I’m not using the most zany set of plu­g­ins in the world, but it’s nice to know that an open source project can be so darn pain­less. Upgrade, the water’s fine.

Dust storm over Sydney @ University of New South Wales

Sydney’s cov­ered in a dust storm this morn­ing and everyone’s talk­ing about it. It’s pretty funky coloured and unprece­dented in recorded his­tory. Tori says Thank God in her new blog (at least, that’s the blog’s focus :)) — oth­ers say more amus­ing things. Here’s a sample.

““UFO?” — my brother, “no, dust storm” — me. He looked upset.”

“[name] proudly wel­comes you to Syd­ney Ranga Day. You can’t see us, but you know we’re out there.”

“[name] would hate to be hold­ing a cli­mate change deniers press con­fer­ence in Syd­ney today.”

“Appar­ently you shouldnt go out­side if u have asthma” [sic] — stat­ing the obvi­ous award

“[name] won­ders if, due to global warm­ing, jesus will return on a cloud of orange dust?”

“[name] is won­der­ing how he got inside a sepia photo?!”

“[name] wants it to rain so she can make a mud pie on her car”

Hey guys i had this big bag of red dust that i left out­side, but how [sic] can’t find it. Would any­one know where it is?”
