Wordpress 2.6 Now Available for Download
The “stable” version of Wordpress 2.6 is now available and wordpress users who have not yet upgraded to this latest version will see the upgrade to wordpress 2.6 link in their dashboard.
Problems with Wordpress 2.6
I already upgraded one of my sites today using the Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin and here are some of the troubles I have encountered so far:
The Wordpress automatic upgrade plugin was not be able to re activate my plugins so for those who are using Automatic Upgrade plugin, it will be a good thing to save a copy of your active plugins first before upgrading.
Some of my plugins won’t work. Actually this is inevitable but I hope plugin authors will be able to upgrade their plugins too so they can work well with newer versions of wordpress.
Wordpress 2.6 features
What made me decide to upgrade to WP 2.6 ASAP is because of the theme preview feature. I always put my site on maintenance mode every time I want to make changes with my themes. Of course the Word count feature also comes handy particularly when I make commissioned posts which require specific number of words. Honestly though, I still have to really try out and familiarize myself with the features of this new WP version.

Will You Buy a Refurbished MacBook Air?
The apple store is selling refurbished Macbook Air at a lower price of course. A Refurbished MacBook Air 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo that is currently available for sale at the apple website is now sold at $1,549.00 from the original price of $1,799.00.
Will you buy a refurbished Macbook Air?
Refurbished macbook air is at least 14% cheaper than brand new macbook air units but is it wise to purchase refurbished items from Apple? I have been browsing online for user feedbacks on apple refurbished products and so far, most have been positive.
According to the apple website, their refurbished products go through stringent refurbishment processes before they are offered for sale plus the units come with a one year limited warranty. The only difference that I see between a brand new macbook air and a refurbished one is the box. Refurbished macbook air units may come with a brown box instead of a black box but who cares about boxes if you can save more than 200 dollars? You can buy a much durable under bed storage boxes for less than 10 dollars.

New Girly Theme for Can Talk Tech
I am getting tired of people thinking that the author of Can Talk Tech (well that’s me!) is a male, thanks to my name that sounds like a man’s name and to the popularity among male bloggers to blog about tech (I guess more women bloggers are actually into personal blogs and shopping blogs) so I finally decided to use a wordpress theme that will tell people I am actually a female (lol).
