I just upgraded this site to WordPress 2.6. I probably should have held off a bit, but there were some things I really wanted to be able to use, like the new Gears support, version history on posts, Opera-related fixes (too bad Gears doesn’t work with Opera yet), and improved image management. And the theme and plugin APIs are supposed to be “pretty much identical,” so there wouldn’t be much risk of breaking anything.
Call it an impulse. 
Fun facts from the Dashboard: This is the 1,649th post on K-Squared Ramblings. Hard to believe. Also: there are currently 2,744 comments. Admittedly that includes local pingbacks, but still, that’s a heck of a lot of comments!
Judging by the comment IDs, roughly 40,000 spam comments have been deleted since this blog went online. Fortunately, most of those are handled automatically by Spam Karma. And just think, that’s not counting however many Bad Behavior blocks before they even get processed!
