The following is what I get when I drop a Flickr photo into my blogging software, paste HTML in, or try to post from Flickr:

I broke science.
Also, am finally moving to Joyent, upgrading wordpress, etc. Pardon the dust, but things will break for a bit, and then get better.
I hope.

I’ve received my “golden ticket” that lets me migrate from an old and crumbling TextDrive BSD server to a Joyent Accelerator.
Hence, many things that have been put off (like fixing the horribly broken blog and website) will happen. And everything will break for a while. Sorry about that. It’ll be better when everything is over [...]
It seems that comment spam and blog comments have done some subtle damage.
You see, until just now, I had Wordpress set so that only previously-approved authors got automatically accepted for comments. I figured, that was enough — if you’ve posted before, no problem. Otherwise, hold for moderation, and I’d just accept the real comments.
Then I [...]

My five year old, home-built PC is now running Ubuntu seven point something something. It was that, or reinstall Windows XP.

New, blank sketchbooks are intimidating.

Updating Wordpress, things will be wonky for a little bit…
…and that’s done. :)
Via John Gruber, here is an excellent screencast of the blogging bundle in TextMate.
Woot, I say.

Getting around to really doing something about this space, administration-wise.
Let’s pretend that that’s because I’ve been too efficient in my real work, okay?

At 3:00 a.m. tonight, I’m on my way to Georgia for an IDSA meeting.
(Translation: I get to escape New England in winter for a weekend. Woe is me. :))
I’ve got post-by-email from my Treo working, via Flickr, and the trip is going to involve a riverboat gambling night, so I hope some interesting pictures should [...]
