  • In the time it takes to install PHP on Windows, I can install a Linux server from scratch, complete with LAMP stack and my web app. #
  • When you Google for a Linux problem, you are referred to a manual to read. All Windows results seem to consist of software downloads. #

What Was Your First WordPress Version?

James Huff of Weblog Tools Collection asks the questions: what was your first WordPress version? Since I’ve been using WordPress for a few years now, my memory got hazy and I didn’t quite remember. It took me a couple of minutes to dig the truth out.

According to my archives, I’ve migrated this site from NucleusCMS to WordPress on April 9, 2005. A quick check with WordPress versions history suggests that my first WordPress version was 1.5. It was released on February 17, 2005. Version 1.5.1 was released on May 9, 2005 and I’ve upgraded to it, not migrated.

So, for six and a half years I’m using WordPress and I’ve never regretted it even once. That’s quite an achievement, I think. Huge thanks to WordPress folks. I hope that you will continue to bring us more WordPress awesomeness for years to come.

Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition 2011

Via this Big Picture post I’ve learned about this year’s Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. As with any micro photography, the images are captivating and confusing. Half of them are so mesmerizing you’d want to use them for a wallpaper. And another half are so scary that you’d worry going to sleep for the next couple of days.
