I thought I would start off with a brief tour of the new Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It’s not all that different if you’ve used Windows 7 or a tablet (such as iPad). But when you first boot up, you get this strange Picasso-style fish. The Windows 8 team must be obsessed with fish: You see it everywhere in Windows 8 and during the install. Oh yeah, during Installation, you need your Windows Live/Passport account information (the email/password you use for Windows Messenger, for example). That becomes your login information.

Title says it all. I’ll be working on a post detailing some new features and methods in Windows 8, but what is it others want to know about?

While working on a website, I was integrating an Announcements forum section into the front page and needed to strip away BBCode that was wreaking havoc with displaying only a hundred of the first characters of a post. This is what I came up with (didn’t bother searching online for something else, either)…

This is a really basic word censor that can be used in pretty much any PHP application. It’s pretty simple. I used it in KPFanWorld while I was initially writing it. It can obviously be changed and modified.

It’s amazing, you know? Adults can be civilized until you threaten something they think is valuable. Take a recent experience. When a couple friends and I decided to stop maintaining a fan website (none of us had really done anything with it for literally years – and none of us had the time or money to put behind it), a few fans piped up and said they wanted to keep it around. So, okay. We discussed it amongst ourselves and them. After some period of time it was decided to let one guy implement some much needed security upgrades, and let someone else put up the old original site on their own server while a new version was written, optimized, and secured.

You are an agent of change. Has anyone ever told you that? Well, I just did, and I meant it. Normally we stay away from from politics here at the official WordPress project — having users from all over the globe that span the political spectrum is evidence that we are doing our job and […]

We are not a small group. More than 60 million people use WordPress — it’s said to power about 15% of the web. We can make an impact, and you can be an agent of change. Go to Stop American Censorship for more information and a bunch of ways you can take action quickly, easily, and painlessly. The Senate votes in two weeks, and we need to help at least 41 more senators see reason before then. Please. Make your voice heard.

So, it’s time to put it out there.
