Proof that anyone can nod their head to a Daft Punk song.

Important Security Update For SyntaxHighlighter Evolved
If you use my SyntaxHighlighter Evolved WordPress plugin, please update ASAP. There’s a security issue with the Flash file that is used by version 2 of the highlighting library. This file is meant to be used for allowing one-click copying of the code to your clipboard (since normal copy/paste doesn’t work with it) but the file reportedly suffers from a cross-site scripting security issue.
Even if you use the better version 3 of the library (the default for my plugin), the file from version 2 of the library will still be included in the plugin’s files.
As a temporary fix, I have emptied out the file. This unfortunately means your visitors will not easily be able to copy any code you paste. I recommend switching to the superior version 3 via my plugin’s settings page. Code highlighted using the newer version can be selected and copied normally.
Feel free to leave any questions you have about this security issue on this post but please leave other general SyntaxHighlighter comments on the plugin’s homepage. Thanks.
Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” Single Is Out
A single called “Get Lucky” off the upcoming Daft Punk album “Random Access Memories” came out earlier today and it is absolutely epic. We’ve been hearing samples of it over the past couple weeks/months but it’s great to finally here it in it’s complete form. I’m so pumped for the full album, due out May 21st!
“Bad Motherfucker”
The Russian indie band Biting Elbows apparently does the coolest music videos ever. These two are really worth watching, especially the second one. Very original.
Warning: if you’re easily offended by violence, these videos aren’t for you. 🙂
