Nurses Meeting Lounge

I felt this one just as I was trying to get to sleep this morning. It shook the bed and rattled the wardrobe. Associated Press reported it as the Second largest UK quake since 1984. The BBC reported it as the biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years.

The rest of the house slept through it, including the dog!

Of course, for old timers on this blog, this isn’t the first time I’ve mentioned earthquakes

wpdevel.wordpress.com is a new Prologue-themed blog that will follow the release of WordPress 2.5 through frequent updates from various WordPress developers. I’ve already posted lots of stuff there on recent bug fixes, API additions, and new features.  As the 2.5 beta cycle heats up, I’m intending to blog as much of the day-to-day development as I can.

WordPress 2.5 is now in feature freeze. No more new features will be added. Today we enter our beta cycle with full force. Concentration will be on fixing bugs, polishing up the new admin design, and finishing off the new features that are already in. We still have some styling work to do on the new design, but the big changes are already in.

We’ve set March 10th as the release date. This gives us a month of bug fixing. We’ll start off our bug hunt cycle with a hunt on Wednesday, February 13, 2008 at 17:00:00 UTC.  If you’re comfortable with testing almost-beta code, stop by #wordpress-bugs and help us polish up the new admin design, test the plugin updater, and fix bugs.  After the bug hunt, we’ll announce the schedule for our weekly beta packages and bug hunts.

WordPress mugs are now for sale. Here’s a shot of mine.  They’re cobalt blue and over-sized.
