7/3/08 Update: The upgrade was successful, but I had to remove the Recent Comments block from the sidebar because it was using too much of my server’s CPU resources. Comments are active again, though, so post away!

Regular blog visitors might have noticed some downtime since Sunday as well as a switch to a pretty basic Wordpress default theme today. Apparently one of my Wordpress plugins recently went a bit bonkers, and my web host’s bots have been automatically taking the site offline because lil’ old Caustic Musings was using more than its share of the server’s CPU time.

Oops!

Anyway, I’ll be troubleshooting the issues and upgrading my scripts Thursday and generally bringing the various bits and pieces of the blog back up to speed as soon as I can. I am disabling comments until I get everything working properly again. Thanks for hanging around, and please excuse the temporary mess!
