Next Three Hours

The ScienceBlogs server is getting upgraded tonight, from 9pm EDT until midnight. During that time, there will be no new posts on SB, nor can you post comments, but you can certainly read my blog (time to browse my ample archives, perhaps) or the blogs of my SciBlings. We'll be back and twice as good after midnight. Hopefully the upgrade will mean less crashes at times when two or three SB blogs get simultaneously hit by avalanches of visits from Digg, Reddit, Fark, Stumbleupon, Slashdot, DailyKos etc.
