Wordpress now has a bit of dale in it.

I'm one for gloating, so I thought I'd try and raise ye old ego a bit more (as you do ;)). Anyway as you may (or probably may not) know I hacked apart wordpress to leach some of its sending trackback function and found a very small bug. The bug being if you ran wordpress on a non standard port (i.e anything other than 80) then people would be unable to send a trackback to that site. Wordpress ignored the fact that someone may have enter a port number into the trackback url. Only a small bug.
So I emailed the good matt ( http://www.photomatt.net ) about the problem and included a fix for it. Less than 24 hours later wordpress is patched and the latest nightly build includes this small fix.

It's just cool that anyone can help add/fix things to open source software. So praise open source (and wordpress for being so).

w00t

/end ego boosting post ;)

no I'll never like wordpress, shutup! :S
