Asymptomatic

The delivery truck dumped its cargo of Grolsh beer all over the road. Drunk bunnies cavorted on the broken glass.

On 2005-02-17, senators offered a bill to repeal the 22nd amendment, which would let Bush rule forever.

I’m dismayed at the choices of candy bars in the convenience store.

My first issue at the candy rack: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. What the heck? They’ve come out with all of these different styles of cups now: Chocolate Lover’s, Peanut Butter Lover’s, White Chocolate. Where’s the stinking plain?!

Here is our media cabinet. My mom built this thing to our specifications for storing all of our DVD movies and such. We were originally thinking of moving our CD collection in here, too, but there just isn’t enough room.

In the left-side door are all of “Abby’s DVDs”, the Disney ones and the Muppet ones. There are also a few of the Miyazaki movies that have migrated to that side of the cabinet. Most of our other movies are too violent, obscene, or lewd for Abby to watch, which is why we’ve separated them.

There is a set of DVDs on teh topmost shelf that we’re going to sell at some point. Maybe on eBay. They’re great movies like Dude, Where’s My Car? and Dick. They’ve gotta go.

I have a database of DVDs around somewhere, although I’m sure it’s not complete since we’ve added quite a few since the time I scanned everything with the CueCat. Maybe I’ll get back to that to keep it up-to-date. There is somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 to 300 movies in there, and it would be difficult to sort out which ones I had already scanned and not.

The complete list from the last time I scanned (a couple years ago?) follows. Seen any of these?

I caught the post by Ryan via the WordPress Dashboard (I suppose that if I was still hooked into the WP mailing lists I would already have known about this) about SVN commits for version 1.6. I should de-geekify: The developers of WordPress have submitted some changes to the WordPress code repository for the next version of WordPress.

I want to make clear right here two very important things:

First - You should not use this code. It is not finished, and it probably doesn’t work. It will certainly make going back to version 1.5 impossible, and break your web site. Stay away.

If anything, you should use this review as an excuse not to try installing 1.6. Look at the pretty pictures, read the details, comment on the features, and wait.

Second - The features described here do not constitute final features in their full functionality. New features may be added. Features I describe may be removed before final release. Then again, you may get exactly what you see.

A couple of less important things to note: I did not fully test any of this. What you are about to read is the result of about 30 minutes of tinkering and reviewing code differences. You should probably look at the 1.6 Features on Codex for more information about what’s going on. Considering the scale of proposed changes, I don’t expect this version number to be the version number on the release, but that’s conjecture, as is most of what I write here, including this.

Now, on to the good stuff.
