WP reverts to default theme on file access collision
The obvious work-around is replacing the default theme with your preferred theme (move the default to default-kubrick or something, then make a copy of your preferred theme and name it default).

Twitter and GAIM
I just set up GAIM (2.0.0beta5, under Windows) to work with my Twitter account and thought I’d make a note of how I did it, although it was pretty straightforward.
I typed in my GMail address (the full one, i.e. with the @gmail.com part) at Twitter’s devices page and chose GTalk as the protocol. Then I added twitter@twitter.com to my buddy list in GAIM, for the GTalk (Jabber) account.
It took some time for twitter@twitter.com to come online but eventually he did, and I was able to tell him my confirmation code. He said
That worked! What are you doing? Send OFF at any time to turn off notifications to this device
and that was it, apparently: now I can update my status by talking to twitter@twitter.com.Initially I picked the wrong protocol (Jabber, since that is what GTalk is based on). Things seemed to go smoothly despite this, and apparently, based on my e-mail address, Twitter even knew I was referring to GTalk, but when I added twitter@twitter.com to my buddies list, he wouldn’t come online. The big
Delete and start over
button was very handy, and after doing it the way described above, it worked ok. -
WordPress 2.1: wp_get_links and wp_list_bookmarks
“The way Links used to work is that all links had a “before” and “after” bit associated with them. wp_get_links respected that, and if you had li and /li in the Links manager for those links, then that’s what got output.
But Links aren’t the same as they used to be anymore. So wp_get_links no longer works quite the same way. While it’s not actually deprecated, it probably should be since it just ends up using the new “bookmarks” functions anyway.
I’d switch to wp_list_bookmarks to do what you need it to do.”
Took me a while to find out how to make wp_list_bookmarks work as wp_get_links did. Firstly, upgrading to 2.1 seems to change the link categories’ ids, so they had to be looked up. In the end I came up with
wp_list_bookmarks("category=43&categorize=0&title_li=&show_images=0");– the title_li bit was the most difficult to understand (my initial attempts with double single quotes caused only weird output).
