Whoops!
Forgot to throw the switch on the Maintenance Mode plugin when I updated to the latest 2.5 trunk build. It also pays not to try to login before the "wp-includes" folder is uploaded. Makes for all sorts of worrisome PHP warnings. I don’t make these mistakes very often but when I do I go whole [...]
