smart computer use?

I think I like this one the most, out of all the WordPress plugins I have installed and used. This really just does take the pain out of keeping WordPress blogs updated. The WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. Sweet words to my ears.

Really handy if managing many blogs

I think that the importance of using this plugin is magnfied if trying to manage many installations of WordPress. Many sites will mean many upgrade procedures each time WordPress releases a new version, which seems to be quite often and annoying to WordPress users these days, really.

Just being able to make a few clicks to update a blog to the new version takes the pain out of the updating process.

Downloading new files, uploading to web server, running any scripts if necessary, disabling/reabling all plugins… stuff like that gets old fast. This plugin does it all for you. I like it.

Why my favorite?

Because of the fact that it seems that it is the plugin I interact with or come to appreciate the most on a regular basis. Sure, I like Google XML sitemaps for creating maps of my site easily, or even the WordPress database backup plugin which magically emails me database backups, this one upgrade related plugin is just my prominent fav.

I haven’t really noticed anything at all since installing the service pack 1 for Vista that was released very recently. I think it came out within the last couple days. I still need to use the machine a little more, probably, before I’ll start to notice anything different. I hope that all of my applications still work. I’m not too worried about it.

From Heise Online:

SP1 does not perform any fundamental upgrades, but rather it mainly fixes faults and problems. Once the update is complete, Vista is supposed to be faster at copying and unpacking files and the user account manager will not require so many confirmations. Microsoft provides an overview of the updates in Service Pack 1 in a white paper.

I’m hoping that maybe service pack 1 for Windows Vista will help smooth out some of the file copying issues I’ve been having. These particular issues are annoying, and if they are fixed, then that’s great. I’ll be happy. I’ll probably not jump for joy, but I’ll be happy.

There has been a general opinion that people should wait for Vista Service Pack 1 before even considering upgrading to the Vista operating system.

Looks like now is the time to upgrade. At least that is true according to some of the people making predictions. Will Vista finally attain a level of status where the general consensus is to upgrade to Vista?
