If you use the Bad Behavior/Bad Beha­viour plu­gin for Word­Press, you will need to update it imme­di­ately if you don’t want to be blocked from access­ing your own site (which is rather dis­con­cert­ing). More details at Bad Beha­vi­or 2.0.11. Simply over­writ­ing the old files with the new should work; anoth­er option is to rename the bad-behavior-wordpress.php file to some­thing else, which will dis­able it, so you can then log in to the admin pages as usual.

Kudos to the plu­gin author (Michael Hamp­ton) for find­ing and fix­ing the prob­lem quickly!

I see Flickr has announced online photo edit­ing, some­thing that will be really use­ful for those times when I just don’t hap­pen to have some oth­er pro­gram handy. In par­tic­u­lar when I’m try­ing to get the col­our bal­ance on my stash pho­tos right, of course <grin />. I won­der wheth­er the tempta­tion to punch up the col­ours and bright­ness on pho­tos to make everything more inter­est­ing will increase? And wheth­er that will make people start to see the real world as a poor sub­sti­tute for the view seen through a cam­era lens? One reas­on I don’t take a lot of pho­tos is because you can doc­u­ment exper­i­ences (by pho­to­graph­ing), or you can be part of the exper­i­ence. It’s hard to do both at once. But I’m still glad that touch­ing up pho­tos I do take to make them more real­ist­ic will be easier.
