Wordpress 2.5 RC1 - Bad Experience

Posted on March 23rd, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Blog.

I tried Wordpress 2.5 RC1 today. Spent some time to upload and backup my original files.

Again, my main concern and attraction is the multi-upload as told by Wordpress in their latest release. I was hoping to get good and easy way of uploading photos to my blog, as I share a lot of photo at my blog, which makes file uploading an important feature for me.

After installing WP2.5RC1, I have to spent some time to get use to the new interface. I think the orange dashboard is ugly, but nevermind…just personal preference.

I reactivated back all my plugins (I deactivated them before installing the new version), all works without problem except for WP-STATS software I have to re-keyin the API key. No problem, easy job since I have ASKIMET that uses the same key. Just copy and paste and done.

Lightbox plugin works without problem.

Now…I tried with my first post with WP2.5RC1.

1. Typing is easy, posting is no problem.
2. I want to upload some photos…how? Yeah…found the new insert picture button. There is an insert video feature too…I wonder how it works…but nevermind for the time-being as I have no video to share.

Easter 2008 - Sunday Service

Posted on March 23rd, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Church.

We went to Easter Sunday service today (Megumi Kyokai, Saijyo, Hiroshima, Japan) on 23rd March 2008.

(My church in Japan - I took this photo a on 16th February 2008)

Kato sensei preached about Jesus’s tomb being guarded after he was died. Chief Priests and the Pharisees uses many methods to make sure that nobody was able to steal away the body…as they remember that wen Jesus was alive, the preached about resurrected from death after three days. They do not want to Jesus body to be stolen away by his disciples and created more deception. They still do not believe in man resurrected from death.

Bible verse that we study in church today was:

Matthew 27:62-66

62The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. 63“Sir,” they said, “we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 64So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first.”

65“Take a guard,” Pilate answered. “Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how.” 66So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.

The guards have used many method to ensure that Jesus body will not be stolen away.

1. They use a big ROCK to seal the tomb
2. They sealed the stone
3. They posted guards to guard the tomb

With such tight security, nobody will be able to steal way Jesus body, yet when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb, Jesus is not there anymore and there were as violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

Matthew 28

1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”

Jesus is alive! His resurrection is undeniable.

Our heart is like a grave…sealed with many earthy things…eg. money, luxury, greediness, hatred, internet, lust…etc. Nobody can open up our heart, except Jesus Christ.

We did not seek God, but God comes to us and lead us to Him.

We deserve no mercy, but God comes to us and give mercy on us.

We deserve to die, but God comes to us, die for us and give us eternal life.

How do I know Jesus is alive? I know because He lives within myself today!

Emmanuel…Hallelujah, amen!

Easter is to remember the rise of Jesus Christ from death, he sacrifices for us on the cross, died for 3 days and risen from death on the 3rd day. Last Friday is called Good Friday, to remember how Jesus Christ being crucified on the cross for us, and today is called Easter to remember He is the son of God that has risen from death!

A peaceful day…and memorial day…a day where love is shown onto all mankind…a day that shows the power of God that is not restricted by death…a day that gives us hope for eternal life!

Let us all remember this day…remember how Jesus Christ has sacrificed for us and saved us from all sins.

Thank you, God…thank you Father…thank you Jesus. Amen.

Wordpress 2.5 RC1 - Released!

Posted on March 23rd, 2008 by KhoKing.
Categories: Blog.

Wordpress has released their latest version of the ever popular blog software - Wordpress 2.5 RC1 on 18th March 2008 (5 days ago)!

It seems to have some new features that make posting and using wordpress more fun, but I have yet to try it…backuping my site at the moment before I upload the new version over my site.

RC1  - what does it means?

With a RC1 at the end of 2.5…it means the software is not a full release yet. RC = Release Candidates, which is very close to full release, and according to Wordpress team, the software is very stable and has been tested by many, and is very close or same as full release. Software cycle normally is beta, alpha, RC then only full release. So, you can see that RC release has actually gone through beta and alpha stage, so it should be relatively stable and safe to use.

Yes, I am going to install it later and post a report on it. My most wanted feature: Multiple upload - is now in the new release! I have wanted this feature for a very long time (currently using an multiple image file upload plugin which got errors after uploading). Standard feature on Wordpress is definitely BETTER than plugin, and I would want to keep the number of plugin to the minimum in my blog.

Happy blogging!
