Every once in a while, you’ll find that an upgraded version of a software isn’t the best version of it to have. In PHP 5.2.7, magic_quotes_gpc is permanently disabled, not that you should be relying on it anyway.
The fix for this was alreaday commited to the PHP CVS so grab a snapshot if you’d like. Otherwise, PHP 5.2.8 will be released next week.
Lately I’ve been working (somewhat) on a little side project that’s got nothing to do with security - TwitImage
Basically what TwitImage does is to retrieve your latest Twitter update every hour and display it on an image on a background. You can login to TwitImage using your Twitter username and password (courtesy of Twitter’s REST API) to modify how you want your TwitImage to look like. You are free to change fonts, font size, font colour, text alignment and save them to be generated that way each time.
Yes, I know the site looks ugly for now. :)
Hope you guys enjoy TwitImage 
A complementary desktop application Twitella (made with Flex / AIR) was created by Chalit. It rides on the REST API as well and provides all the functionalities that Twitter provides, allowing you to post status updates, direct messages and all. You don’t have to put up with all of Twitter’s timeouts either. 
Enjoy these apps
