Those of you (those, er, seven of you) who check this blog regularly may have noticed that it was monkey broken all week. This was not a gremlin attack, but rather the consequences of my switching domain hosts (and, er, not actually knowing as much about switching domain hosts as I thought I did. Thanks, dreamhost.com, for fixing my stupid!).
So. All is well, I am back, and I promise I will never muck about with the back end again. (Heh heh. I am twelve.)
