Yeah it’s certainly not great falling sick at this time of the year. Hope I can get well soon and enjoy my holidays (which has a lot of work to be done).
Just to remind you that WordPress 2.7 is out and you can download it over here: http://lorelle.wordpress.com/2008/12/10/wordpress-27-available-now/.
I’ve upgraded this installation and will do the same to the theme demo. Arras.Theme – Gaming Edition seems to have no issues with this version, but if there are, do let me know by emailing me.
My friend mentioned about ditching WordPress to Sweetcron, simply because he doesn’t have the time to post on his blog, and has been using Twitter instead to post updates. Probably a great idea for me to do the same, maybe work on a couple of themes for that CMS too. 
I might be moving this web over to a new hosting company soon, and I’m thinking of MediaTemple. So there will probably be some downtime, which I trying to either completely avoid it or to make it as minimal as possible.
