Some of you have pointed out that you’ve been seeing 500 errors when trying to post comments ot this site over the last few weeks. I’m painfully aware of the problems as I’ve been seeing the same thing when I’ve been posting entires. But I think you’ll find that the problems have gone away. I’ve… Continue reading Comment Problems

Slight Reorganisation
I’ve rearranged my feeds slightly. This probably won’t effect anyone, but here are the details. I’ve set up an experimental tumblelog (which, of course, has its own RSS feed). That’ll be where I’ll posting very short entries for the time being. Given that photos and links can both be considered short entries, my Flickr feed… Continue reading Slight Reorganisation
Blinking Blogs
Labour MP Austin Mitchell has a blog (he calls it a WeBLOG). Well, it’s a bit like a blog, but it doesn’t allow comments so it’s not really a blog. And it has a really horrible blink effect on some of the text that gives you a headache if you look at it for more… Continue reading Blinking Blogs
Kathy Sierra
Please read Kathy Sierra’s post where she explains why she isn’t giving her planned talks at O’Reilly’s ETech conference this week. She has received a number of death threats from anonymous commentors on various blogs and has therefore decided to cancel all speaking engagements and stay at home. And who can blame her for that.… Continue reading Kathy Sierra
Shaggy Blog Stories
Most of the time telethons like the BBC’s Children in Need and Comic Relief are enough to have me frantically punching at the remote control to find something less scary to watch. Oh, I know that it’s all for charidee and that they raise lots of money which is spent on good causes. It’s just… Continue reading Shaggy Blog Stories
Be Careful What You Blog
I’ve been saying for months that the MySpace generation are going to have a big shock when they start to make their way in the world and employers have access to all the intimate that they have shared with their thousand or so friends. Two members of Democrat John Edwards’ staff have given us a… Continue reading Be Careful What You Blog
A Experiment
I’ve just upgraded this blog to use version 3.34 of Movable Type. The main reason for doing this is that this version has added support for FastCGI. Hopefully this will mean that each request is handled far more quickly and the comment spammers won’t be subjecting this server to an effective denial of service attack… Continue reading A Experiment
Oops
Like Paul I also seem to have forgotten that I have a Vox blog. Nothing much to say, but on the off-chance that there’s someone here who doesn’t read my other blog – here’s a link to the photos of my christmas holiday. Enjoy.
British Political Blogging
Anyone who follows political blogging in the UK will be aware of the current… er… disagreement between Tim Ireland and Paul Staines. It’s a disagreement about how blogs should be run. Ireland is arguing for transparency, permanence and good things like that whereas Staines delights in obscurity, astroturfing and deleting comments whenever it suits his… Continue reading British Political Blogging
Harriet Harman Blogging
Harriet Harman has started a blog. Of course, she’s also standing for election as deputy leader of the Labour party – so the timing is all very suspicious. I wonder how much she’ll be writing once the election is over. But, anyway, I’ve added her to Planet Westminster. Interestingly, Harman’s web site is also available… Continue reading Harriet Harman Blogging
