Fsked the http://mary.yearl.us WP install last night whilst arsing with names. One single bloody typo in “site URL” and good luck getting back into the admin panel. WP does not even offer a warning that changing this might be a bad thing, or potentially so.

Fortunately having access to the database I could edit the value in-place in the tables… now all is well again with the world.

…except for the fact that I felt I had to sign up–finally– for a twitter account just so I could get an API key in order to explore some things on Mar’s blog. And it turns out another yearl.* has @yearlus as his handle. Grrr. for some reason this bothers me. Bothers me to the extent that I offerered him a free subdomain of his choosing under yearl.us. I’d take that deal if I were him.
