I just made a request for KG Archives to be hosted in WordPress official plugin repository. I don’t have the discipline to put it under version control on my local machine.

HP Deskjet D2360
We got a new printer at home for my daughter’s school projects because our old Epson’s printer head gave up. The cheapest one on display was HP Deskjet D2360. We took it despite of us not having the slightest idea if it would work with Ubuntu. Yes, we (including wife and kids) use Ubuntu Linux at home.
HD Deskjet D2360 surprisingly worked without a hitch. It prints nicely even though it’s not using the exact printer driver but the class driver Deskjet D2300. It’s good enough to print some eBooks I’m dying to read for quite sometime now. For higher resolution needs, we go to the family business office to print.

PayPal Philippines, finally
Read the news first from J Angelo that Philippine residents can now receive payments through PayPal. I would like to think that this was made possible in part by the PayPal Now campaign.
I don’t have a US bank account but I do have a VISA debit card issued by Unionbank which I use for all my online purchases.

Whitespace Theme by Brian Gardner
I have no idea why this theme didn’t have the designer’s link in the footer or sidebar. He deserves a link for creating an awesome theme.
The theme is called whitespace by Brian Gardner.

Upgraded theme and WP2.3
I finally found time to upgrade to WP2.3 and at the same time change the theme again. 90% of this blog is new except for the posts.
All plugins used here are also sparkling new.

Testing Sideblog and KGArchives against WP2.3
I’ve tested Sideblog and KGArchives to be compatible with my WP2.3 test install. I will be upgrading this site tomorrow to the latest release candidate for live testing. After which, I’ll list Sideblog and KGArchives as WP2.3 compatible in the WP2.3 plugins compatibility page.
As long as I’m using WP, be rest assured that these plugins will be updated to the latest WP release unless WP incorporates similar features in the core as what happened with UTW rendering it obsolete.
I happened to browse the WP plugins compatibility page and it seems that some plugins I’m currently using are missing from the compatible list. That could pose a problem but not as critical as Sideblog. They’ll likely be disabled until their authors update them.

1 thing you need to know about WP 2.3
Others have 10 things. I only have 1: WP 2.3 is going to break a lot of plugins. So there. Go ahead check your plugins if they’re compatible with the next WP release 3 days from now.
I’ve updated KGArchives and Sideblog. They’re not final yet but you can have them tested with your WP 2.3 test install. And do report back the bugs you find. The plugins will not be compatible with WordPress versions earlier than 2.3.
Get KGArchives v4.0 here: http://katesgasis.com/downloads/kgarchives40.zip.
Get Sideblog v4.0 at: WP plugin repository.

Opera mini
Wrote this using opera mini on a low end nokia handset. It render pages nicely even with a very small screen.
