Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. I never would have thought they would make another AVP movie. The first AVP wasn’t great, but the idea of Predators hunting Aliens is just too darn fun…

WordPress 2.3 Beta1
So, a new developmental version of WordPress was released last night. Being the sucker that I am, I went ahead and upgraded to WordPress 2.3 Beta1, and to my surprise, everything installed without any problems at all.
I haven’t seen a full list of all that’s been changed in this version, but based on my limited usage of it in the past half hour I can tell you about two of the updates that will make the most impact:
- Tags. Posts now support tags without the use of a third-party plugin.
- Plugin Version checking. When you’re managing your plugins, you’ll now be able to see if a newer version of it is available (assuming it supports update checking).
According to the announcement, this version also include “faster JavaScript” and “SEO-friendly URL redirection”.
All in all, it seems pretty stable so far. So, if you do decide to upgrade, know that it’s not a full release, and you’re bound to run into problems. Make sure you backup any WordPress-related site files and database beforehand. Deactivate all plugins. Then upgrade. Reactivate your plugins one by one checking to make sure none of them break your site…
