Finally Wordpress 2.7 is released, but don’t you just hate all the endless upgrades, especially if you have code base modifications in place.
Whether or not you like Wordpress as a blogging platform is debatable, but you have to agree that it does have a large slice of the market share. And when you get to be a tall poppy like Wordpress, just in shear numbers you will get (that is find) your security problems as people poke holes in your product.

Some people can suffer distractions more than others, where as others can be total immune from the usual distractions.
Ever had a morning where you seem to be not getting any thing done. You check email, forums, feeds and twitter (the Loop). The phone rings, then you answer some new email. IM fires up, you deal with that. The doorbell rings a courier turns up and the distractions just go on and on. Sure you are scheduling tasks, and getting on with the short ones, but still it feels like you are spinning your wheels. You seem to have all your task management working just fine. So what is the problem? Maybe its all the minor distractions just getting to you.

It’s an interesting point you want to organise a professional event; do you go with the traditional conference / seminar format or the more relaxed popular unconference (aka barcamp).
Well having attended and been involved with organisational aspects of both it is clear they have their places. There are a number of points that you have to consider before committing to one over the other.
Organisation
- Unconference - It’s very relaxed, informal, embrace it, attendees control the proceedings.
- Conference - Very formal. The attendees will have little if any say in proceedings.
