Back on the job

Back from my all-too-brief vacation; I'll get the site turning over again as soon as I've caught up on what's been happening.

Experiencing technical difficulties

Had some database trouble with our service provider, starting late last night. Should be fixed now. Apologies to any readers or commenters who got strange error messages.

Instant gratification now available

Prodded by JSP, who hates to wait for anything, I have cobbled together a system for making comments appear right away. In order to keep the spam level down, you will notice at the bottom of the comments form a request to type in the answer to an easy question. Presumably robots won't be able to do this, or so I hope.

Blaze away!

PS -- With some browsers you may have to "reload" the page in order to see your comment.

Personnel change

I announce with the greatest regret that my esteemed colleague JS Paine, due to the press of business at his day job, is relinquishing his duties here at Stop Me. We will all miss him greatly.

On the bright side, JS's younger (and according to JS himself, "much brighter") brother Owen Paine will be carrying on the proud Paine tradition in these pages.

A fond farewell, then, to good old JS, and a hearty welcome to young Owen.

Okay, you stalwarts, pony up

My day job is interfering with my blogging these days, so I expect all you faithful readers and commenters to step into the breach. (You know who you are.) I'll set up up with author IDs and at least until Kos slips some of his mind-control juju into your Merlot, you can -- und vill! -- do your duty and post here. I don't mean no stinkin' comments either, I mean learned, sprightly, insightful, original top-level posts. Or at least virulently abusive ones.

Volunteer by writing direct to me: mjs [attt] smithbowen.net.

I'm back, and so's the blog

Back from my island vacation, to discover that some sort of database glitch had made the blog unable to publish entries or comments. It's been fixed now, or so I hope, and SMBIVA is once more open for business.

Et in Arcadia ego

I've gotten as far from Pennsylvania as I could afford to go this week, so the site will be receiving somewhat intermittent attention at best.

Calling Father Karas

Something is amiss with the blog database -- comments are not posting. I've put in a call to The Exorcist.

Demons cast out

Tried a little Latin on 'em. Comments seem to be back now. Sorry, but any posted since late last night seem to have been eaten.
