A security release for WordPress is out today and it is highly suggested that you upgrade. This is two major security fixes from the WordPress team in recent months. Props goes out to Matt and the rest of the team for staying on top of this. The note from the WordPress site is below.
We would like to announce that WordPress 1.5.1.3 is now released as we continue the availablity of a highly stable and extremely popular branch based on the 1.5 Strayhorn codebase. Development has moved on to some exciting new features for the next major release, but an important security issue was brought to our attention which required an update for our users. The problem is not yet public but you should update your blog as soon as possible to 1.5.1.3. If you are unable to do upgrade in the short-term you may protect yourself by deleting the xmlrpc.php file from your WordPress directory.

Gah! I just spent the past hour or so trying to find out why I have been getting HTTP 500 errors on the info crew website that I’m working on. Well, it’s because I was using a relative path and not a static path! Add that to the fact that I have a bunch of .htaccess rules that filter content around and no wonder it didn’t work. In any case, it’s working now.
Also, the Flickr API is wicked easy to use.
Yesterday Jamie and I went out to dinner in Bellevue at Sushiya and saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Dinner was just alright. The rolls were huge and hard to get a hold of. It wasn’t the worst sushi that I have ever had, but it wasn’t the best either. Good thing I had the Entertainment Book to cut the cost of the meal in half.
After dinner, it was off to the movie. This movie was a selection by Jamie, but I didn’t have any problems with it. I mean, she was taking me to a movie with a wicked hot actress in it, so no complaints out of me. But, as Jamie says, they (Brad and Angelina) are just beautiful to look at. With that aside, the movie was actually pretty good. Better than what some critics had to say about it. One thing that I’ll have to give them is that this movie is just a action comedy. It’s nothing that’s going to make you think too hard or say, “wow, that was good!” Simply put, it’s fun, witty, sharp, and fast. All of these things combined added to my liking of the movie.
Besides the witty comedy style of the movie, the rest of the flick wasn’t half bad either. The action scenes, while completely unreal, were sure fun to watch. You got to see Angelina Jolie go all Tomb Raider on the people attacking her and it was just fun to watch. That, and the scene in the Smith’s home is pretty sweet too.
The movie seemed to just coast by and when it was done I was satisfied with what I saw. I personally liked the last line of the movie, said by Mr. Smith when at the therapist, “Ask me that sex question again” as he motions 10 with his hands. It will make more sense when you see it, but the opening scene in the therapist’s office pretty much sets the comedic tone for the whole movie.
Overall, it’s a good summer flick if you’re looking for some action and some witty comedy on the side.
