I can say I am now a Sun Certified System Administrator (SCSA) for Solaris 10. I did the Solaris 8 certification years ago, and have just popped down and whizzed through the upgrade test. I didn’t need to study for this one, but will for the Networking and Security certifications which are next on my list.

Got more news on Firefox 3 for OpenSolaris. Contributed builds are indeed available, but they don’t count towards the “Download Day” record.

Well, I’m on my way to contributing to Habari and have just submitted my first defect ticket (#332 - Monolith’s “Manage %s” doesn’t show draft pages or entries) and even supplied a patch containing a possible fix.

I was a little slow on the uptake, but Wordpress 2.5 was officially released to the world yesterday. I’ve now upgraded all my blogs (lildude.co.uk and colinseymour.co.uk) to WP 2.5. Now to put the finishing touches my SmugGal plugin and I may just had a workable pluggin for everyone within a few weeks.

lildude.co.uk is now running on Wordpress 2.5 RC2. Hopefully this will iron out some of the niggles I encountered with RC1. If you’re tempted to upgrade, check out the screencast showing some of the cool new features.

Fixed a tiny typo I made by including an extra “}” in phpSmug (line 203) (Ticket #17). This has been removed in phpSmug 1.0.9.

I’ve updated phpSmug to improve the caching and to take into account the SessionID 6 hour inactivity timeout after rolandk98 brought up a caching issue. I’ve also fixed a problem with escaping apostrophes when using a database for caching.

I forgot to take into account the ImageKey returned by image_upload() and image_uploadFromURL(), and AlbumKey returned by album_create(). As of rev 1.0.7/1.1.5, these functions now return an array holding the ID and key. Thanks to devbobo for pointing this out so quickly.

I’ve updated phpSmug to support the new security features introduced. You can find more details of the new security measures here.

I’ve been meaning to sort this out for ages, but completely forgot. Thankfully b-root reminded me by logging Ticket #14. phpSmug (as of rev 1.0.5 and 1.1.3) now uses SSL/HTTPS for all login.with* methods to ensure login information is not sent across the wire in the clear.
