Control Option Command

Update: Bug squashed. So buried deep in the archives there was a comment in which the author had innocently copy/pasted the characters “⌃ ⌥ ⌘” from my post. This was for some reason not sanitized in the SQL, which somehow borked the XMLRPC endpoint to the blog. This in turn meant that tools such as Marsedit, the WP iPhone app and pretty much anything that uses XMLRPC wouldn’t work.

Problematic as that may seem, the worst part is when shit like this fails silently. I pretty much cut the database into bitesize chunks, wiped the entire blog and restored each bit of data manually before I tracked down the perpetrator.

Things are pretty much back to normal now, except for a bit of maintenance work such as restoring categories and plugin settings.

Thanks for waiting.

Original post:
My site is currently experiencing something analogous to a heart-attack after 50 years on a steady McDonalds diet. It’s a crying shame, but with all the garbage that has been put into it it wasn’t really a huge surprise.
What I’m trying to say is that the site is slightly borked, that it’s my fault, and that I’m sorry; but it’s late and I’m too damn tired to fix it right now.

If you actually happen upon this blog in the couple of hours before I can get it repaired, expect a few “stnanks” here and there. I’ll update this post when the waters are safe agai
