WordPress 2.1 was released on 01.22.2007. Upgrading looks like a total bitch. Here goes nothing.

EDIT: Done. Went well.

EDIT2: Well. I broke the anime weblog’s ability to post with the visual editor and the theme I was using (lowstream) even after I upgraded the software to current. I’ve swaped themes at least for now and it seems to have fixed things. I lost a LONG post in the process.

EDIT3: The spell checker in the visual editor also seems broke.

EDIT4: Lowstream 2.2.4 seems to have fixed my visual editor issue.

Zoom Player 5 was recently released. I tried out the RC for a bit and was very impressed. I’ve been a ZP user for quite a long time and think it is fantastic. The new version adds a super fantastic skin and much improved codec/filter management. The options screen is also much more smartly laid out.

On a related note, I recently switched to using the Haali Video Renderer instead of the overlay renderer. It is suppose to use pixel shaders. I don’t see a difference but that is pretty neat.
