Technical Issues

By drorzel on February 19, 2006.

We're back after a fun weekend at Boskone-- my various panels went well, and I got to meet, talk to, and hang out with some terrifically interesting people. I think the "Weird Quantum Phenomena" talk went rather well (it was scheduled as a half-hour talk, but there was nothing else scheduled for the room, so it stretched out to an hour). I was surprised and pleased to see that so many people were interested in hearing about quantum mechanics at the very ragged end of a convention, and I hope they enjoyed hearing the talk as much as I enjoyed giving it.

Of course, it's impossible for everything to go well at once, so I came back here to find widespread reports of technical issues with ScienceBlogs-- apparently, there was some sort of spam assault on the servers, which bogged things down for a while over the weekend, with some of the bloggers having trouble posting, and even a few problems with getting comments posted. It appears to have been dealt with, but we apologize for any inconvenience.

Boskone 43
The following will be of interest only to people who were at Boskone, or who for some reason care deeply about what I did there, so I'll put the bulk of the text below the fold. We arrived at about 3:00 Friday afternoon, parked in the hotel garage, and discovered that the trunk of my car would no…
Choose Your Own Con Panel
Kate and I will once again be attending Boskone in a couple of weeks, and for the second year running, I'll be on a handful of panels. I had a great time as a panelist last year, so I volunteered again, and I've been looking forward to finding out what I'll be on. I got the preliminary schedule…
Statistical Physics Still Works
I'm back from the Vegas trip, lighter by about $100 at the tables (thanks entirely to a bad run Sunday morning at the tables, one of those games where you get dealt a 19 with the dealer showing a 4, and the dealer draws four cards to a 20...), and heavier by well, quite a bit, probably, as I rather…
Worldcon Thoughts
Before it slips too far into the mists of memory, I should probably post some summary thoughts about Nippon 2007, the World SF Convention in Japan that Kate and I attended last week. To some degree, this will be inside-baseball stuff, but if you're not interested in fannish stuff, rest assured,…

I hadn't heard about an spam attack on the servers, although that might explain why things bogged down so suddenly last night.

Unfortunately, I'm still unable to post to my ScienceBlogs blog. I will be posting on my old blog until they fix this problem.
