  The inside scoop on WordPress 2.7
  WordPress 2.7 is about to go live, but are you ready for it? There are a host of changes in store for you, mostly good and maybe one or two clunkers (personally, I think the vertical menu is a bit of a step backward). There are also some improvements to the API that I'm sure theme developers are going to want to implement right away. To help usher in this new WordPress era, Technosailor tells you 10 Things You Need To Know About WordPress 2.7.

  Easy one step ISO image of your data in Linux
  I love extremely simply tips to make computing easier and this is one of the best. If you use Linux, you don't need any fancy CD burning program to create an ISO image of your data. Instead turn a whole directory into an ISO image with one command: mkisofs -V LABEL -r directory | gzip > cdrom.iso.gz. Hat tip to: Tips4Linux

  NASA teleconference on Phoenix's status this afternoon
  NASA will be holding a teleconference this afternoon at 4PM EST to discuss the status of the Phoenix Mars Lander. You might already know that Phoenix has been silent for a week now. Has Phoenix succumbed to the cold of the advancing Martian winter? It was inevitable, but I had hoped she would last longer. Either way, Barry Goldstein (PML's project manager), Peter Smith (PML's principal investigator) and Doug McCuistion (Dir. of NASA's Mars Exploration Program) should be able to give us a better idea of Phoenix's status. The teleconference audio will be streamed live.
