drew3ooo now with WordPress 2.3.1
To celebrate drew3000.net’s upgrade to WordPress 2.3.1 today, Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez (photographed at left with his posse) has called on oil-rich nations to dramatically reduce what they charge poor countries for the commodity. The poorest countries should only pay about $20 (£9.60) for a barrel of oil compared with current market prices of more than $90, Mr Chavez said. He added that this site’s mid-version update of the popular open source blogging platform provided an excellent platform from which to call on fellow OPEC members to set aside $100bn from oil revenues to improve education and health in poor nations.
We on the Drew3ooo technical team applaud this move by the controversial Bolivarian leader, but would suggest raising the price for oil accordingly on imports to “red” states in the U.S. where President Bush won either popular or electoral votes.
But about the Wordpress upgrade…
