WordPress upgrade

I did it manually as described at http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress in “Manual Upgrade” section
Avangate antifraud system
Thursday, October 24th, 2013A few days ago they approved the order from Chinese user with email address of owner for crack site (crackzq.com).
I submitted the request to refund this order but still now the request is not processed. On refund page they wrote that they need approx. 2 hours to process.
Something strange is there in last months. They are not my primary registrar (they are third after ShareIt and PayPro) but anyway I’m waiting the better antifraud system and better response for customer requests.

часовой пояс на космическом корабле
Monday, October 21st, 2013На космическом корабле день и ночь это понятия субъективные и зависят не от светло-темно, как на Земле, а от того, когда включили или выключили свет. Интересно, а по какому часовому поясу они там живут? По тому же времени, как на месте старта?
Windows 7: Root Certificates Update
Thursday, October 10th, 2013By default, the KB931125 is available for Windows XP only, not for Windows 7 or Vista. And you can’t download this update manually for Windows 7.
But you may download the update at http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/trustedr/en/rootsupd.exe
If to run this tool under administrator privilegies, the root certificates will be updated in Windows 7 succesfully.
Why I need this update:
Delphi XE4 checks the serial number using certificate center. I don’t know what root certificate they used but by default, this certificate is not available in Windows 7.
So as result, you run the XE4 IDE, all packages loaded, you see how many days is left to use the reg.copy and in end of loading the IDE closed, opened the browser with the next url:
www.embarcadero.com/ru/product-validation-error
As solution there you need read the http://support.embarcadero.com/article/40373
But this is for XP only, not for Windows 7 or Vista.
After rootupd.exe run the list of root certificates is updated and XE4 will validate the license file.
Driver license
Saturday, October 5th, 2013Today I got the new driver license. Valid until 2043
