K2release candidate 3 was released a little over four months ago. Today, as I was going through all my feeds, I saw there were some commits to the K2 SVN. The log for one of the commits stated that the version for K2 has been bumped up to release candidate 5. Here’s a piece from the commit:

Upped version to RC5. Preparing release.
This is rather exciting for me, especially the “preparing release” portion of that. I’m hoping “preparing release” means they’re getting ready to drop K2 1.0 as opposed to getting ready to release a download for K2 release candidate 5. As you probably know, Unwakeable is based on K2. Once K2 1.0 is out, I’ll start building Unwakeable 2.0.
I got so excited last night when I watched this on my Xbox 360. There’s only been one other game I’ve been this excited for, and that game was Halo 3. Gears of War is one of my favorite games of all time. The other day, I had an urge to play some Gears. A buddy and I sat down played through the whole campaign on Casual in a few hours. It was lovely.
Duncan Mackenzie released an application in May of 2007 that checks your Xbox Live status and sends your status to Twitter so all your followers on Twitter can see what you’re playing on your Xbox 360.
A short while after the initial release, Microsoft made some changes to Xbox Live that broke Duncan’s software, so he came out with an update. Then, a short while later, both Xbox Live and Twitter made some changes which totally broke Duncan’s software. It hasn’t worked since those updates were made.
Since then, I’ve been looking for something similar every few weeks or so. The other day, I set out to find a replacement for Duncan’s software and I came across Martin Hinshelwood’s blog.
Martin has picked up where Duncan left off with his Xbox Live to Twitter application. Martin was having trouble getting Duncan’s software to work, so he just wrote his own. I’ve been using Martin’s Xbox Live to Twitter app for a few days now and haven’t had any problems with it. It’s been posting my Xbox Live status to Twitter like mad.
WordPress version 2.3.3 has been released. This release, like the previous one, addresses an urgent security vulnerability that was found in the WordPress XML-RPC implementation. The flaw could allow any valid user on your blog to edit posts made by other users on your blog.
WordPress 2.3.3 also fixes some other minor bugs. If you don’t care about those minor bug fixes and just want to patch your blog against the XML-RPC vulnerability, you can download a fixed copy of xmlrpc.php and copy it to your WordPress installation directory, replacing the existing xmlrpc.php file.
