There haven’t been a long time on the launch of Wordpress 2.9, of which we are all waiting for so long time. Today Wordpress launched Wordpress 2.9.1 Beta which had some fixes of scheduled posts and pingbacks errors. As per Wordpress Official Blog:

Unfortunately, the recent 2.9 release triggered a bug in certain versions of PHP’s curl extension.  With these versions of curl, scheduled posts and pingbacks are not processed correctly.  To fix this problem as well as a handful of other, lesser issues, we are quickly releasing 2.9.1, the first maintenance release of the 2.9 line.  Help us get 2.9.1 ready to go by testing 2.9.1 Beta 1.  The easiest way to test Beta 1 is to install the WordPress Beta Tester plugin, elect to get on the point release development track, and then perform an automatic upgrade via the Tools->Upgrade menu.  You can also download the Beta 1 package and install manually.  Fourteen tickets have been fixed in 2.9.1 Beta 1.  Since the curl problem and a couple of other problems are dependent on specific hosting configurations, any and all testing help is greatly appreciated.

It seems that the error list of Wordpress will never end, but the good thing they does launch new versions immediately after fixing those bugs.

If you still do not know about Wordpress 2.9 then you should watch the below video, or read about the features of Wordpress 2.9.

Actually that’s typical of any open-source software.

Ya apparently they forgot to add 3 letters to a line of code, now WP 2.9 forgets your scheduled posts.

*Quietly waits for the update*.

I just upgraded and it seems everything is ok now. However, I did not know why WP was so hurried to release Wp 2.9 version while they knew there were a lot of critical bugs, is that a gift for Xmas?

Let’s look at this culling of cows for a minute.

Imagine a Sustainable solution.

First you ask the question is milk more expensive than any other place in the world?

If it is, then cull.

If it isn’t then you might think of developing a bell curve of costs for the individual dairy farmers who produce milk to a standard of quality but at the lowest cost and still make a profit. What is their break even cost?

The Sustainable approach. Or a Sustainable approach would be to find those dairy farmers who produce milk at the standard of quality and the lowest possible cost and do what you can to help them to continue to produce as much milk as possible.

Those ultra low cost producers could have their output segregated out of the fresh milk category and moved to the powdered milk category. For Export!!! You do know we have a balance of trade problem and we have people starving!!!

I know I am oversymplifying but this Eco Worldly —- should be a place where outside the box thinking is needed.
