We’re upgrading our site today to newer, faster, better, and more reliable software. Hooray! That also means the site will be shut down for the next few hours. Boo! You’ll still be able to read everything, but comments will be shut down and there will be no new posting for the rest of the afternoon.
I’ll be back later tonight if everything goes well. We may encounters a few hiccups as we settle in (did I mention that this is a software upgrade?), but after that everything should be much smoother around here. Keep your fingers crossed.
