So, I think it will be slow going around altportland for the next few days. I got a little overexcited last week and downloaded some new software that has effectively killed the commenting system. All weekend, I kept thinking I'm just around the corner from getting it all fixed, but of course, I'm not just around the corner unless the corner involves a labyrinth.

So it's not that I'm a slacker (though I am), and it's not that I don't have new places to tell you about (because I do) -- I just need to get the software to stop producing ugly 500 server errors.

And hopefully by confessing this, I'll be back on track *very soon*.

Thanks for your patience.
