Plenty of new features in this version, like a handy word counter to the right of the window I’m typing this post in. Other features include:

• revisions for posts, which is quite handy for collaborative posts or tracking edits to entries,
• “Press This” bookmarklet, which you can use to instantly start writing a new post right from your browser’s bookmark bar, and pull content from that page right into your post, including media and quotes,
• live blog theme previews, which allows you to see an actual preview of your blog before you apply the theme,
• support for Google Gears, Google’s offline browser application, making WordPress administration much zippier on slower connections,
• drag-and-drop re-ordering support for blog post galleries,
• improved plugin management, including support for enabling/disabling multiple plugins in just a few clicks,
• improved post managment, allowing for multiple post modifications at once,
• added Identicon, Wavatar and MonsterID capability, which automagically generate a unique avatar based on your e-mail address, assuring that your avatar will be unique as well as consistent regardless of where you use it.

Plenty of new features, plus about 200 security and bug fixes. Keep up the great work, folks!

A friend of mine recently bought a product called PrintMaster. He had some trouble installing the software and called me up for some tech support. He was receiving an Error 1305, for which a quick Google search lead me towards the following:

… Completing a clean installation of the program will help to prevent conflicts that can occur. The remainder of this note describes the procedure…

All right, I thought a clean install, let’s read on and see how to do a clean install:

1. Place a small amount of nonabrasive, liquid soap on the shiny side of the CD or DVD.
2. Using your fingertips and warm water, gently rub the soap on the disc in a circular motion.
3. Rinse the disc thoroughly and dry it using a clean, soft T-shirt or lint-free towel. Do not use paper towels or tissue paper.
4. Install the program.

Yep.  Read the original and more here.
