Sorry for the interruption in service, things should be back to normal now. *ahem* If you missed it, someone guessed my not-at-all secure password to this blog and posted an entry and changed the “siteurl” setting. (21)

Well, I’m glad to hear that its not a security bug in WP 2.0.3 It did prompt me to update my WP installs to 2.0.3 just in case there was for some reason a left-over 2.0.2 install running here.

Randy, Matt is like normal running trunk/, therefore 2.1-alpha2, as you could see from the generator meta tag.

Well at least they didn’t do anything too extreme (and the message they left was kind of amusing). I guess I could change my password once in a while…
