Update to WP 2.7.1

I just updated to WP 2.7.1 with the One-Click Install provided by my hosting company. While these quick update utilities are great for most folks, the real thing you have to watch is that they do not replace all your custom themes, plugins or code.

[Update] New computer, new problems

I just came back from lunch where I had to diagnose a friend’s seemingly dead computer. This is actually the one I put together for him two weeks ago, so he expected it to work.
