I recently upgraded my blog to Wordpress 2.5. The manual process is real cumbersome. Today I came across few plugins which help in almost automating the upgrade stuff.

Wordpress Automatic upgrade: As per description this plugin first takes backup and then upgrades. I didn’t try this one, though.

Instant Upgrade: I upgraded one of my blog using this. It doesn’t take care of backup but otherwise the upgrade was super smooth. Just few clicks and you are done.

Happy upgrading !

If you use Gtalk and Winamp simultaneously and tried to set the currently playing track as your status, you might have been faced by Gtalk hanging. I also struggled with this for 2 weeks until  I did a bit of googling and got a link which gives a trick to get rid of the problem.

The trick is to create an empty winamp.m3u file in \Program Files\Winamp folder and you are done.
