when attempting to call applescript from clozure cl, there's a noticeable delay. it took me a while to remember how i solved that problem last time, so i'm keeping it here as a reminder. mac os x requires clozure application, and that presumably applies to other applications, to be signed in order to skip AS runtime validation (???). it's possible to self-sign, and avoid paying the developers' license. the procedure is exhaustively described in GNAT's documentation, https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gnat_ugn/Codesigning-the-Debugger.html.

above is wp-content folder that comes with wordpress 2.7 and includes classic theme (30k) and kubrick (94kb)
also a patch to fix the comments fix for mp's spamatron
i did further work on mp's copy of wordpress. specifically there's a dodgy attempt to modify get_avatar to support loading avatars from user's url in addition to supporting existing methods. the attempt is somewhat broken, but provides the right place to start looking at the problem. i also silenced all the particularly noisy errors, the ones that you get on each normal page refresh. the patch also includes changes from the above patch, so it's a superset.
