About the site: August 2007 Archives

If all went well, the site should now be fully upgraded to MoveableType 4.0. I still have to personalize it, put up links to my books, and so forth, but it should be readable. And most importantly, comments should once again be working.

Just to be sure, though, go ahead and add a comment to this entry. If you try to add one and it doesn't show up immediately, drop me an e-mail and let me know.

I'm in the process of upgrading to the latest version of Movabletype (my blogging software.) Once it's completed, it should fix the problem that was stopping people from posting comments.

But the upgrade process isn't completed yet, so please bear with me if even bigger problems pop up in the meantime (like the fact that my front page is now a big, white wasteland.). I should have it fixed soon.

A couple of people have informed me that they are having trouble adding comments to Yankee Fog posts. I'm looking into it, and hope to have it fixed soon. In the meantime, my apologies.

I just got in from some errands to find about 2000 spams waiting on my server.

There were so many, they crashed my e-mail program.

The crash corrupted my inbox.

The corruption of my inbox meant that when I thought I was deleting a bunch of spam messages, I accidentally deleted an unknown number of non-spam messages.

So if you e-mailed me anything in the past 24 hours, you may want to re-send it.

If you keep up with Yankee Fog via Bloglines, or any other RSS reader, you may have noticed some weirdness yesterday.

First, you may have gotten a flood of old articles, marked as new. No idea why that happened.

Second, you may not have seen the "What if FDR Had Been Like George W Bush?" short that I included in the post. If you missed it, you can see it here.
