Yesterday I worked from home for the afternoon so I could pick up my new computer – a Mac Mini server running OSX Lion (version 10.7). This is a first for me since I’m used to Windows laptops (and sometimes old laptops and desktops running UNIX). This post is about initial impressions as I’ve barely [...]

It looks like I’m in the clear with the hack, assuming WordPress 3.1.4 and the plugins I’m using are safe.
