Firefox 3.5 beta 4 is out and among the news is support for various open-source video formats. The following video shows just a few examples of what to expect.

Basically the video acts like a normal web page controlled by JavaScripts and according to TechCrunch this might be the beginning of the end for Flash movies.

You can always get the latest beta here if you want to give it a go. Developers will find answers and info here.

Now I’m just waiting for the final release – what’s your thoughts about the new “no-plugin needed” thingy? Will it open a new world of security holes or will it be for the better?

Just a quick post to announce that WordPress 2.8, codenamed “Baker”, is available. A brief introduction is found below:

The latest release fixes 790 bugs and all parts should be faster and smoother (as always).

More release info is found here, and further insight for the curious here.

I’ll try to get it all done today – and with any luck the site will still be up and running. If you’ve already updated please let me know if you’ve encountered any strange happenings!

Update

Things look like they are working after upgrading – some bugs on the Dashboard but after refreshing it should go away (I hope).

If you encounter the following error under your “Incoming links”; Fatal error: Call to a member function get_link() on a non-object – please let me know and I’ll dive into it as it could be a bug…

Update 2

Bug fixed – well not really a bug to be honest, but problem solved at least…

Opera released the first beta of Opera 10 a few days ago, the newest version of the company’s industry-defining Web browser. Opera 10 beta sports a surprising array of new features, a fresh look and feel, and enhanced speed and performance. It is completely free for Windows, Mac and Linux users from www.opera.com/next.

Visit the news room to read the full press release.

I’ve only tested it for a few days but must admit it looks nice. Also I believe it is slightly faster than previous versions. Start-up time also appears to be quicker.

If you’ve tested it let me know which of the new features you like the most.

This may not be the greatest SEO idea but it may be useful in some cases. Anyway I thought I’d share this little trick as it proved very handy for one of my recent clients.

Basically WordPress allows you to manipulate your configuration file so that when certain criterions are met you can override the default home and blog URI’s set in the database.

By doing so you can have more or less unlimited domains pulling the same files and data from one single WordPress installation.

Here’s how you do it

Open wp-config.php in your favourite editor (Notepad, Dreamweaver etc.) and add the following:

if (preg_match("/\bwww.example1.com\b/i", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) || preg_match("/\bwww.example1.com\b/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'])) {
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://www.example1.com');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://www.example1.com');
}

If you need more domains just add more by repeating the above starting the next “block” with elseif.

Feel free to comment and/or suggest different ways of doing this.
