No, I’m afraid the Oirish show hasn’t finally been cancelled. But this is pretty amazing too, eh?

WordPress 2.3.3 Security Update

05/02/2008

Get it upgraded folks, particularly if you’re on one of my servers!

WordPress: WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. A flaw was found in our XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow any valid user to edit posts of any other user on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here.

Also, there is a vulnerability in the WP-Forum plugin that is being actively exploited right now. If you are using this plugin, please remove it until an update is available.

Since we are talking security, remember to use strong passwords and change them regularly. While you’re updating WP and your plugins, consider refreshing your passwords.

MMM: “The next [Bugatti] will be even more expensive”

Autoblog: Rumors of Bugatti’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, while rumors of a second Bugatti model have been confirmed. In a recent interview with an Arabian Gulf journal, Bugatti spokesman Julius Kruta revealed: “Even though it is not economically viable for us, we will do it again. We have bigger plans for the future and the next one from our stables will be even more expensive than the Veyron.”

I’m not really posting this for any reason beyond the cool image. I’ve never been able to decide if Dekotora itself is actually cool or not.

Jalopnik thinks it looks like a willy, but I think you’d have to be a bit willy-ixated to see that tbh. I think it’s cute. Presumably that says something about me.
