Even though the article is about WinXP and 2k, I thought I’d try the registry fix. Sure enough — it works! So I will probably start adding stuff to the site crawler again and may actually release it!

So, Automatic upgrade for WP has been broken for some time. Now there’s a stupid coding error that’s responsible for a worm attack. This is what I get for following the trend and not researching some software that I start using.

A possible switch to a different blog software may be in the works if they don’t get their act together.
