Jealous of Microsoft Outlook users’ system tray icon notifying them of new messages, I’ve begun using Google Notifier to help sate this jealousy.
- Growl support — why go through the trouble of using your own notification system? How about, if Growl is installed, use that instead? Growl has many advantages over Google Notifier’s built-in bubbles, and it would be great if this could be supported.

The WordPress and PHP 5 debate has sparked up (again?), mostly brought on by the discussion on the mailing list and Matt’s post on PHP 5. I think this post on funkatron.com explains it pretty well — what we do now with a mess of code could, in a lot of cases, be made into OOP code that is a lot simpler, plus PHP 5 has many advantages such as PDO, which the Habari project …

WordPress 2.2.1 has been released, which includes many fixes for bugs that sprung up, and most importantly of all, fixes a few rather major security holes:
