Ya, it was useful and we disagreed on the topic :) I emailed you the link. I thought it was great dialogue for my first entry though. Thanks!

@Mike: Ah good, so clearly others have been complaining about this and the message has got through.

Not sure I remember being the first commenter on your blog – what did I say? I suspect it was either incredibly useful or slightly too aggressive.

Wordpress is currently on a two month hiatus from asking developers to work on releasing new version 3.1. I learned this info from a recent WordCamp event I attended. They are doing it give developers a chance to take a break and look over other platform issues. I agree the constant updates (and plugin updates) are a nuisance. My domain blog is down right now (database backed up and I’m going to launch a new looking site with this week) because hackers gained entrance through a plugin I didn’t update.

Kieren – you were actually the first commenter on my domain blog :) That was when you still worked for ICANN. Remember that?

Well said Kieren.

These sorts of “upgrade” have become beyond a joke. But I know why they do it – they wrongly assume that your life revolves around their their pet application just the same as their own life does. Wrong!

They are simply some rather boring tools we occasionally use to facilitate whatever it is *we* have that’s important in *our* lives.
