In case it's not evident, I've been having trouble finding any motivation to write here lately. The comment problems fill me with dread, and I find myself alienated by the mechanics of blogging after spending so much time on Flickr, which is like crack, but spoonfed. The new job has made things more difficult as well, both because I'm busier (a good thing!) and I'm travelling a lot. But anyway I do plan to move forward with the blog even after this caesura, mainly because I get so much out of the intellectual engagement and awareness that goes with it. Consider yourself warned.
If you have any advice about the comments, please email me at the address to the right; basically there is some major problem with the database, and no comments are registering on any of the blogs associated with this MT installation. For now, my solution is to have no comments, which suits me just fine for now. When I started blogging, it was actually my plan to have no comments, until Haggai Elitzur came along and insisted they were a necessity.
Oh, I had missed this post before...I hadn't realized that I was the one responsible for all the damage! :)
Well, it's not all damage... I suppose it would be nice to blame someone for the occasional nastiness that blooms in my comments, but often they've been hugely valuable, and I think on balance it's been great to have them. Certainly this would have been a completely different experience if I hadn't set them up!
