New Tech Stuff
Two new updates for my techie side.
Wordpress just released version 2.1. I’ll start playing with it soon enough for my ancillary sites. ScalpEm.com will always be the last to upgrade since it needs to be stable. However, I’m going to get the old Groomlake site going again, so that ScalpEm.com will have it’s fun test best for templates and new versions before I go and break anything on the main site. I’m happy to hear that they are supporting 2.0.x branch until 2010, but I’m not sure that I like the Ubuntu method of major releases on a regular schedule.
In my other techie news, I picked up another BFG Tech 7600GT graphics card. My final plan for the computer is complete and it will be running SLI. That should tide me over until the next major upgrade of the computer two or three years from now. The only reason for me to upgrade to Vista anytime soon would be for gaming, and since UT2k7 will be DX9 to start, there is no reason to rush to Vista and DX10 AND a new $500 graphics card. The prices can come down on that. By the way, NewEgg.com is running a special on those 7600GTs, for $89 after rebate.
