The Scienceblogs.com back end -- where the blogging happens --- has become so difficult to use ... and perhaps slightly dangerous ... that blogging has become an unpleasant and unproductive activity for me. I know they are working on it, and at any moment this may be fixed, but for the now I have to consider the site too broken to use. I'll keep you posted, but I just wanted you to know what to expect over the next 24 hours (normally I would have material already there but that is just not happening).
We are expecting a major upgrade any time now (weeks maybe?). I'm looking forward to that, as this crappy performance at the back end has been a problem for moths. But at this point it is simply unusable. My laptop battery runs down in less time than it takes to make a post or two.
In fact, it is running out now..... .. . . . .

...this crappy performance at the back end has been a problem for moths.
Yah, well, there's not too much of an entomological presence here anyway. My theory is that the ornithologists like Shelley Batts & Grrl Scientist have something to answer for in this regard...

Yeah, it's a downright shame how much strain scienceblogs puts on moths. Give them a better blogging experience, is what I say. Do butterflies have the same issues?

What exactly is the problem? Is there a bright light near the keyboard that distracts them and stops them from typing? Or just an excess of predators in the area?

I saw the typo, and said, "Well, it would take me ten minutes to fix that, so I guess the moths are going to have to stick it out on their own... " and went to bed.

Am I the only old-as-dirt techie who thought of Grace Hopper?
Damn, I am SO ancient.

Yes you are, but now that you mention it, that is very funny.
