Two Questions

I am serious about planning a blog get-together when the Republican Convention comes to Tampa in 2012, but I have two questions. What should we call this thing?

The End Of Blogrolling

I noticed this in my feed reader this morning. We’re aware that there is an issue with BlogRolling blogrolls causing some browsers to display a security warning.

Playing Catch Up

After my out of touch week, I am about through playing catch up. I’ve waded through pages of email, spam, and a very full feed reader, performed maintenance on my various blogs (including all the spam registrations at The Regiment), watched some football, hockey, and three out of the first four hours of 24.

Weblog Awards Canceled

Unfortunately the resources required to handle the load of voting (nearly 1,000,000 votes in 2008) could not be adequately provisioned. Even if the servers and bandwidth required appeared … Continue reading
