Flying to Madrid on Delta today via JFK to spend ten days with Michelle in Zamora and then ten days with Automattic in Budapest. Rented three movies on iTunes (Forest Gump, The Jackal, and 180 South) to accompany Edit Flow hacking.

Edit Flow v0.6.5: Fixes post timestamp issue when using custom statuses

Aside

Edit Flow v0.6.5: Fixes post timestamp issue when using custom statuses. Pretty annoying bug: if you set a post or a page to a custom post status, the publication timestamp would be set and saved.
