Technical Difficulties

By drorzel on August 27, 2006.

The Internet has been broken all afternoon at Chateau Steelypips, which is where there hasn't been anything new psoted, and why it's taken forever to approve a couple of comments that were held for moderation. Sorry about that.

(I'm typing this from my office on campus-- we turned Her Majesty's evening walk into an email-checking trip, with the added bonus being able to chase rabbits across the lawns on campus. Great fun was had by all, at least until I wiped out on the wet grass...)

As long as I'm posting to say why I haven't been posting, though, I might as well turn this into a technical issues open thread, as we haven't had one of those for a while. If you've had problems with anything on the site, or if there's anything we can do to make your ScienceBlogs reading experience more pleasant, leave a comment, and I'll see what I can do.

Blog Tweaking
A couple of technical notes that may affect your reading and commenting experience: 1) The site developer has tweaked the RSS feeds to include links to the full post, and to the comments section. The comments links on some posts even appear to give a comment tally, which is pretty cool. Of course…
Datastarve
Verizon, in its wisdom, has decided that Chateau Steelypips is not, in fact, in need of DSL service this weekend. We've been without Internet connectivity since mid-afternoon yesterday. This is probably for the best, as my neck and shoulder are starting to suffer some twinges indicative of muscle…
