I’ve turned it off and you can now leave comments again. Ãœber-weird. Sorry about that.

I’ll have more posts coming soon, by the way. The every-other-day goal has been steamrolled over by a number of other things that have come up, and this week will be just as busy (getting the next issue of my magazine out), but I’ll have a post about CONduit up soon, along with reviews of City of Bones and The War of Art and a cool new iPhone book reader app, Eucalyptus. (Telling you all this is called public accountability. It helps me get stuff done. :P)

(And even then the Tiger-like admin interface didn’t show up.) Well, Firefox here on my Mac works fine. As does Safari. Yet another reason not to use Windows if I can help it. ;)

Using this Dell keyboard with OS X was getting a little frustrating, since I kept hitting the wrong keys (Command was the Windows key, etc.). Then I found a way to switch the keys so they’re where they should be:

  • Go to System Preferences
  • Click on Keyboard & Mouse (it’s under Hardware)
  • Make sure you’re on the Keyboard tab
  • Click on the Modifier Keys… button
  • Change the Option Key to map to the Command key
  • Change the Command Key to map to the Option key
  • Click OK and enjoy!

And yet I can log in on Internet Explorer. That’s sad (and wrong :)). It may just be a bug in this particular version of WordPress (2.0.2). I reset the password, but to no avail. There was one moment where I actually did log in, but when I tried it again, the error returned. ~sigh~ I also deleted the wp-content/cache directory, again without result. There’s a thread on the WordPress forum about this, but without any resolution.
