WordPress 3.4.1

WordPress 3.4.1 is now available.

One interesting point from the release note:

  • Adds early support for uploading images on iOS 6 devices.

I bet there are significant numbers of iOS developers running their own WordPress site.

For those who are running their own WordPress installation, what are you waiting for besides making sure all the plugins are compatible?

Securing your Wireless Access Point.

There are many reasons why you should secure your Wireless Access Point (WAP). We were informed that an 86 year old woman received a Notice of Copyright Infringement by the ISP for downloading a Pokemon game through BitTorrent. How can an 86 year old woman be downloading Pokemon game through BitTorrent? Upon investigation, the 86 year old woman had an unsecured wireless network which she uses to connect her iPad. It is the likely scenario that an unknown individual was using her wireless network to download the Pokemon game.

Since then the wireless network has been secured with WPA2 encryption.
