I hate to imagine how long I’ve been waiting for Via’s nano-itx boards to be released. It seems that they are finally escaping out into the consumer world. I won’t be holding my breath though as there imminent release has been reported more than once before! But I want one, I’m not quite sure what for yet but I’m sure it will complement the Epia SP mini-itx board that powers this server.

Purchasing your tax disc on-line
Yesterday when collecting my car from the garage after it had passed it MOT the customer service adviser mentioned that with my new style Computerised MOT certificate I would now be able to apply for my tax-disc on-line.
In turns out that to apply for a tax disc on-line you have to meet the qualifications set out here and then you go to this new e-government website and fill in you details.
I can’t wait to try this out when I have to renew my tax disc next year. Much easier than a trip to the post office to join a queue 😉
WordPress v2.0 Beta 1 Available
WordPress v2.0 Beta 1 was made available late last week and by the looks of the activity over on the special beta forum a lot of people are giving it a good test!
There is a growing list of plugins which have been tested with the beta for compatibility which can be found on the codex and everyone is welcome to contribute. I for one have to work on my version checker plugin to make it WordPress v2.0 compatible as the current css leaves it overlapping the main logout and profile links.
Behind the curve
I’ve been behind the curve for a while now. But no longer as I now have a wordpress.com blog! Not exactly sure what I’m going to write on it but it will definitely be WordPress related. Go read westi.wordpress.com now!
