I just finished uploading ServiceTweaker to my server. This is a program to manage Windows services.

It can change the startup type of each service and it can also start or stop them.

I hope you find it useful, and as always, i will appreciate any feedback or comments about it.

Remember that you can use the contact form in the About page of this site to send me information about errors or bugs, or anything that you like to add.

The program page has been published and the download links updated.

The site is running the latest version of WordPress.

Upgrading WordPress Download WordPress 2.5.1

As promised, here are the links to download Windows XP SP3. You need a BitTorrent client in order to download them. I recommend getting uTorrent or Deluge. They are free and easy to use.

Both links are for the final, RTM version of the SP3 intaller which you can use to slipstream it to your current disc of SP2 or to upgrade your current installation.

I just finished taking screenshots of the slipstreaming process and i will upload the guide later today.

Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available.

It contains an important security fix and about 70 bug fixes, along with other performance improvements.

Here are some important changes:

• Performance improvements for the Dashboard, Write Post, and Edit Comments pages.
• Better performance for those who have many categories
• Media Uploader fixes
• An upgrade to TinyMCE 3.0.7

It’s important that everyone running WordPress upgrade to this new version. I will do so during the day. Remember to backup everything first, and if you have the chance, test it locally .

WordPress 2.5.1 Release Notes

After finishing all the testing and exploring the new options in Wordpress 2.5 i upgraded my site. Now i can focus on posting again.

I will make some time to explore the Wordpress Plugin Directory to enhance the site a little more.

It took a little longer than expected because of the formatting of my desktop machine, where i make most of the posting. Later today you will find more content posted.

Finally, after some weeks of waiting the highly anticipated Wordpress version 2.5 is released as final.

This new version includes new features, a great design overhaul for the user interface or frontend and tight security measures to prevent hacks or takeovers on blogs.

All the work is done after six months of development. A few weeks ago, Matt, the founder of Wordpress posted a screencast for people to see the new interface in action.

The new features are extensive, if you want to read about the mall, go here.

Be sure to read all the documentation before attempting to upgrade because some plugins or themes may not work with this new version. I posted some instructions on how to upgrade earlier versions wordpress if you want some advice.

Today Launch 1.0 is released. It is the first public release of this program.

With it you can execute, with paramaters if you want, any file type. It is a simple but effective solution to replacing the Run box in the Start Menu of Windows.

I have test it thoroughly before uploading it to make sure everything is working as expected. If you find any error bugs or simply have suggestion on how to make it better, don’t hesitate to send your feedback.

You can find the detailed description and screenshots in the program’s page.
