Dispatches from Iraq: Tom’s home!

I’ve been delinquent in relaying this fantastic news!

To: [a bunch of people]

Well everyone, my time here in Baghdad is about over. In fact, I leave here on Tuesday some time to fly back to Qatar with a return to the states somewhere around the 1st.

I must say that I am very happy to have experienced everything out here. It gives you a different perspective on things to be here where things are happening that you don’t get back at home. I am proud of the job we’ve done, and I’m proud of the jobs the men and women have done even more forward than I. It’s certainly difficult, and at times you wonder if it is even worth it. But then there is the one event that makes it all good. If you ever get a chance, ask someone who has returned from out here what they felt and how it has changed their life. One thing will always be the same…no one leaves here the same as when they came here.

More after the cut.

Urgent note for others running WordPress

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

If you downloaded and installed the recent 2.1.1 version of WP, it is critical that you upgrade to 2.1.2 immediately.

Long story short: If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

Full details over at the WP DevBlog.

Remember when MTV played music videos?

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

No? Let’s flash back to MTV 1983.

What we have here is three hours of vintage Music Television, hosted by Mark Goodman, and complete with commercials!
