*WordPress 2.6.2 Released* – WordPress 2.6.2 was released earlier this week to fix a security problem dealing with the mt_rand php function.

Happy 4th of July all! I hope you are all enjoying it – although, I am remote from Campgrounds, I still do my Segment, your probably wondering, why? Well, as any podcaster would tell you.. “Stay as consistent as possible” and I will keep consistent with my Segment, as much as possible. Now on with the Segment notes!

Future of TechCast

Thanks to any and all of the supports of the TechCast. We move forward to stage 3 of TechCast. It’ll now be called, The Media Tech Show, thanks to Rob White for coming up with the name. There are still several segment slots open for the show.. Send me an email if you feel that you have a segment that would fit well for the show. It is not a live show, but maybe in the future. We’ll release more details in an announcement episode in the near future.

Segment Name Change

I’ve changed the name of the Segment to the Budde Podcasting Network Segment. Although, we’ll bring in stuff from every show, not every show every week. But, You’ll hear content from each of my shows, except for TWTHS.

Wetpaint Update

Wetpaint was down on Wednesday for a good part of the night – They added new servers to the network because they are nearing the creation of the Millionth wiki. Along with them nearing this – They have a lot of things on the White board for future releases.

Wetpaint Contest ALERT: Wetpaint is having a contest to see if you, yes you! can either create the one millionth wiki or refer the person that creates it. If you create the one millionth wiki you will be getting a Wetpaint “Going Green” package and you will be able to give an organization a “Going Green” package. Along with the Creator, the Refer will receive a “Going Green” package as well. What is this going green package you ask? Read this below to find out:

Wetpaint will offset the approximate annual emissions of the average U.S. home (25,210 lbs. of CO2), the average U.S. vehicle (8,403 lbs. of CO2), and 50,419 lbs.of CO2 of emissions of the organization of choice of the millionth site creator and referrer, if eligible, for a total value of $500 per package. Applying offsets to be provided by Terrapass.

As I said last week, we’re 3 weeks behind in development.. I am getting there, not ready for testing quite yet. But, we’ll say by the end of next week we should be good to start the testing on the new design and layout. Stay tuned!

Josh’s Blog Update

UPDATED: I have disabled Disqus comments so that I would be able to enable the Comment License for the Blog and any comments that were posted during the Disqus implementation have been re-added manually by Me.

I have added a new theme to my blog along with a newly designed sidebar. We’ve kept the Disqus comments and I am working on getting two new plugins called Comment License 1.2 and Pingpress 2.1.4. Those should probably be up and running by tomorrow sometime.

As you probably know by now, Formerly Tech Nation, is now not live and I am currently not creating new episodes. You will realize, if you stay subscribed, You’ll get Announcements, Segments, Tech/Web News, and more.. But, before we dig to far into those parts of the new show layout —We need to figure about what the new name of the show will be. What do you think?

Suggested names are:

• The Tech Deck (Chris Riddle)
• Lets Get Technical (TVSeriesFinaleFan)

What do you think the name should be? Although these changes are happening, this does not mean my other podcasts are going away. TWTHS, Josh’s iLife, Weekly SVU Podcast, Wetpaint Nation and the Daily RSS Podcast are NOT going to be leaving. So, let me know what you think of it and of course I’ll also pick one that I like.

As stated here, the Budde Podcasting Network should be returning mid-July, about July 14 or 15th. Check it out all on the Latest Segment blog post, here on the NMP Network.

This post should have went out last week, but due to me being busy with Finals this week. I just got to it tonight.
