Nikolay Bachiyski told us at Oct 17, 2007:
I updated WordPress.com translation with the po/mo files from your trunk. Especially in the admin panel the change is obvious
Check out Meghdut Collaborative Translation Project of Wordpress and don’t forget to give your hand on the localization 
Various gray on the sky… A little fogs… Few drops of rain… Very beginnings of this morning… Sounds of rain drops and Somewhere in Between made this EiD morning a great times… A moment not to forget… A wind from heaven mixed with rain streams, lets breath of dreams…
…to struggle with all your might
You’re up late one night writing code. Maybe it’s a technology you’re just learning or something you haven’t tried before. You’re getting an exception from deep in the code. You can’t figure out why…the blogs aren’t helping, the newsgroups aren’t helping, the docs aren’t helping. The next day you call product support. Since they don’t have your code in front of them, it’s also hard for them to triangulate what’s going on.
Now, imagine you’ve got source and symbols available. With that, you can enable “Break on Exception” in your debugger, run your scenario, and have the debugger stop exactly where the exception was thrown. The code gets loaded up and you sniff around a bit and realize – duh! – you forgot to set some other piece of state in an earlier call or a parameter. You fix your code and you’re off and running.
Even with one of the decompilers (e.g. Reflector) that you can easily get out there, this can be tricky to solve. With the source it’s much, much easier.
And BIG news is Microsoft making .NET framework sources available to developers. From Shawn Burke’s Blog:
For any of you that have been following my blog, you may remember that I made a splash with a post about possible ways to release Windows Forms source code. This generated a lot of discussion and was picked up by many of the major tech websites out there. That was in February of 2005…
…Today is an exciting day for us here Microsoft and our developers, see ScottGu’s Blog for the big announcement: We will be releasing .NET Framework Source Code as part of the VS 2008 (Orcas) release.
They getting code ready for release, the current launch lineup is (in no particular order):
* Base Class Libraries (mscorlib.dll)
* ASP.NET (System.Web.dll)
* Windows Forms (System.Drawing.DLL & System. Windows.Forms.dll)
* ADO.NET (System.Data.DLL)
* XML (System.Xml.DLL)
* WPF (System.Windows.DLL)
Podcast on Scott Hanselman’s “Hanselminutes” contains a lots more detail. Unfortunately their licensing terms mean that developers only have a read-only view of the source and there wont be any ability to reuse it for Mono etc.
We all learned how to multiply with pencil and paper, even great big numbers and decimals. But when it comes to something important like a blueprint or a scientific formula we reach for a calculator – or a spreadsheet. That’s much more reliable, right? Well, not if the spreadsheet is Excel 2007. Over the weekend a member of the microsoft.public.excel newsgroup revealed that Excel 2007 thinks that 850*77.1 is 100,000. What’s the correct answer? Anybody? Anybody? Bueller? Anybody? Right, it should be 65,535. Other members verified that the error carries over into some (but not all) calculations based on the incorrect result. Microsoft has been informed of the bug, but hasn’t yet formulated a response.
UPDATE: Microsoft recognizes the problem and assures us that Excel Will Learn to Multiply.
GOOD NEWS: The Excel team has dissected the problem in detail and is working feverishly to swat this Excel bug.
If it were just 850*77.1 that gave a wrong answer, we could probably work around that. But there are tons of other problem numbers, as I discovered for myself. I set up a spreadsheet to divide 65,535 by every number from 1 to 65,535 itself, then multiply the number by that result. So, for example, it divided 65,535 by 26 to get 2,520.577. Then it multiplied 26 by 2,520.577 to get… 100,000?! Over ten thousand of these simple calculations gave the wrong answer.
Auttomatic Team releases Wordpress 2.2.3 is a security and bug-fix release for the 2.2 series. Since the release comes with security fixes you shouldn’t be lazy to upgrade. Two of the fixes are high priority as bellows:
There are few others normal bugs closed with this wordpress 2.2.3 release.
I just upgrade my blog to Wordpress 2.2.3. And waiting for the Wordpress 2.3 final release. Few hours ago Auttomatic released the Wordpress 2.3 Beta 3, the announcement:
Beta 3, the third and final beta for WordPress 2.3, is now available. Many bugs have been fixed since the second beta, and we could use your help finding and fixing more bugs in preparation for the first Release Candidate due next Monday. The standard disclaimer for betas applies. Beta 3 is pre-release software that is still being tested.
gmail-lite is an HTML-only interface of Gmail. It makes use of libgmailer and removes all those Ajax fancy stuffs to provide a clean, neat interface to users. It originally targets browsers on PDA (such as Netfront), but its simplicity should allow it to work on any browser on Earth, from lynx to IE3 to firefox.
Last two days I’m using GP internet (Grameen Phone) and I’m anxious that I’m not able to login Gmail nor any Google.com services! If I have authority sure I’ll punish ‘em well!
In the meatime gmail-lite is the only option to keep in touch as I’m hardly using Gmail for my all emails. I install it to http://gmail.banglasavvy.com and it’s working fine!
If you ever can’t login to Gmail either for your low bandwidth speed or any reason such as GP (god bless them), you should have your own copy of gmail-lite or you may use this one.
Web Applications 1.0, more commonly referred to as X/HTML 5, is a new version of HTML that is vying to replace HTML 4 and XHTML 1. The X/HTML 5 specification is being developed by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG).
X/HTML 5 introduces new elements to HTML for the first time since the last millennium. New structural elements include aside, figure, and section. New inline elements include time, meter, and progress. New embedding elements include video and audio. New interactive elements include details, datagrid, and command.
Development of HTML stopped in 1999 with HTML 4. The W3C focused its efforts on changing the underlying syntax of HTML from Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) to XML, as well as completely new markup languages like Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), XForms, and MathML. Browser vendors focused on browser features like tabs and RSS readers. Web designers started learning CSS and the JavaScript™ language to build their own applications on top of the existing frameworks using Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax). But HTML itself grew hardly at all in the next eight years.
Recently, the beast came back to life. Three major browser vendors—Apple, Opera, and the Mozilla Foundation—came together as the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WhatWG) to develop an updated and upgraded version of classic HTML. More recently, the W3C took note of these developments and started its own next-generation HTML effort with many of the same members. Eventually, the two efforts will likely be merged. Although many details remain to be argued over, the outlines of the next version of HTML are becoming clear.
This new version of HTML—usually called HTML 5, although it also goes under the name Web Applications 1.0—would be instantly recognizable to a Web designer frozen in ice in 1999 and thawed today.
Read the nice article by Elliotte Rusty Harold for details. The Future of HTML by Edd Dumbill could give some good idea about what going to happen next.
X/HTML 5 Working draft by WhatWG is here and this is the W3C Editor’s Draft for HTML 5.
LOL! Tried to visit Technorite right now and got this funny message:Technorite is borked right now!
