I think I fixed a problem where RSS feeds would be cut off by the more tag in WordPress. This tag makes it so that I could show excerpts on the front page, else it’d look all cluttered. The only problem is that it would also cut off posts in RSS feeds, which would basically defeat the purpose. Hopefully it’s now fixed, thanks to the Full Feed plugin.

I just saw this article where a guy managed to easily listen in on BlueTooth devices (The ones people have been getting, the ‘hands-free’ ones so that they can talk while driving). He only listened in on when the device is not being used, that is, when the person isn’t calling someone, I figure for legal reasons. It’s also supposedly possible to inject audio into the BlueTooth device. He did all this using a flat, compact antenna which he put in his backpack. He faced away from a StarBuck’s with the backpack on his back facing the Starbucks, on the other side of the street. He then controlled the whole procedure with his Nokia phone using some Linux programs. All in all it was pretty cool. He heard some guy ordering some stuff at StarBuck’s. Good stuff.
I just updated all my WordPress sites to version 2.3.2., which supposedly fixes some security vulnerabilities or whatever. Thankfully DreamHost had this in their one-click installs so the upgrading process was painless, I just had to re-add some things in the wp-includes/widgets.php file which was easy because DreamHost backs up the site before upgrading so it was just a matter of copying and pasting. At first I was having some problems on the instagib site with some canonical URL problems, but after re-installing WP-United, everything seems fine.
Nice to be updated.
