A few things as I sip on some tea that I’ve just realized I absent-mindedly put sugar in twice. Fuck. I keep forgetting to mention it, but if for a couple of days last week you tried to leave a comment and couldn’t, feel free to try again. I didn’t notice a problem at first …

It’s Up, It’s Down, It’s The Vomit Comet
Not sure how many of you this is happening to since it seems to be rather intermittent, but if in the last day or two you’ve gotten some unusual errors or something hasn’t loaded quite right, yes, we do know about it. And unfortunately, as best I can tell, we’re powerless to fix it. All …
The Site Was Hacked, But You’re Probably Ok
Never have the words the system is down been more appropriate. Ug. If you happened to stop around these parts yesterday, you’re probably wondering where the hell we went. The short answer is offline, because we got hacked. Twice. The first one happened on Sunday. I learned of it while I was on a train …

Server Move 2015 Complete…We Think
It took slightly longer than I’d hoped because I really don’t know what I’m doing, but between me, Google and James who is awesome and actually knows his ass from a hole in the ground, the site is back online and should be running as normal. But I’ll say what we always say at times …
Welcome To Server Move 2015
At some point in the not so distant future (today or tomorrow would be a good bet), you might start noticing some weirdness with the site. This is because it’s moving to a new server. Hopefully it won’t take long, but I fully expect to screw something up somewhere along the way so lord only …
Please Excuse The Impending Site Weirdness. I’m Fixing Stuff…I Hope
Quick heads-up. If the site looks more broken than usual in the next little while, it’s because I’m breaking it. We’ve been planning on changing the theme for a while and today I decided screw it, it’s time. Hopefully it won’t be too complex an operation and we’ll be back to normal soon after only …

A Guest Post And A Note About Yesterday’s Unexpected Disappearance
This was meant to go up yesterday, but two things happened. 1. I was flattened by some sort of unpleasantness that woke me up in the middle of the night. I’m still not quite over it though I feel miles better than I did. 2. Some tech issues flattened the website for several hours yesterday, …

What Blew Up?
Update: Well, things dont’ seem to have been as bad as first thought. For the most part, I think that everything what needed an unbusting has gotten it. Now let’s hope it doesn’t do that again. And as always, if you see anything that just ain’t right, let us know. I won’t be able to …
A Wee Bit Of Comment Jiggery Pokery
A quick heads-up for those of you who still use the comments. An update to the email notification system gave me a few new options to play with, so I’m testing some of them out. If all goes well you won’t really notice much of a difference aside from oh hey, there’s html in the …
Welcome Back To The Land Of The Living, Steve’s Twitter
My Twitter account is back up and running. The nice folks at Twitter didn’t tell me why they suspended it, but at least they were nice enough to give it back pretty quickly. Feel free to cease panicking.
