There’s another WP upgrade to 2.9.2. The problem is with logged in users, they can peek at trashed posts belonging to other authors. If you have untrusted users signed up on your blog and sensitive posts in the trash, you should upgrade to 2.9.2.

Flash Player 10.1 coming to Motorola Droid

Stephanie — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:08:02 +0000

For those of you with a Motorola Droid, you’re probably anxiously waiting for the release of the Flash Player 10.1. Motorola Announced on January 6, 2010, that the Flash Player will be released soon. This is an awesome step for mobile browsing to not have limitations anymore on what content can be accessed by a smartphone. I love this idea of actually being able to surf the web and view Flash websites and components.

You can view some info right from Adobe http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplatform/2010/01/flash_player_101_coming_to_mot.html of Flash Payer 10.1.

Brandon’s Eyes is a recent boutique web design project that I completed towards the end of 2009 with custom illustrations of children.
