I give up

It’s clear the bugs introduced in the server upgrade have NOT been fixed. New posts are scrambled up with old comments, and I have no idea where submitted comments are going to end up.

I recommend leaving Pharyngula for a day or two until these severe problems are actually fucking fixed. That’s what I’m going to do, anyway. Yeah, BOYCOTT PHARYNGULA.

Proceeding with caution

As you all know by now, the last couple of days worth of entries got totally munged up by the server upgrade — comments lost, comments moved to the wrong article, whole articles vanishing. I am greatly annoyed and mystified, since a server move shouldn’t be generating so much thrashing chaos.

I’ve been told the uncertainties have been mostly fixed up and things should work normally now, although the entries since last Friday afternoon are kind of a shambles still. I’m going to put up a few things today, but I’m taking it slow — I really don’t trust this piece of crap right now.

That’s a boring banner

The The Crommunist Manifesto has a very unexciting banner, and he’s looking for help fixing it. If you’ve got any artistic talent at all, get on over there and put something better together.

Also the quote from Christopher Hitchens that he wants to display is fabulous and wonderfully appropriate:

The stubborn persistence of chauvinism in our life and letters is or ought to be the proper subject for critical study, not the occasion for displays of shock.
