Richard MacManus just put up the official farewell post, so it’s now official: I’m leaving ReadWriteWeb.
I’ll still be blogging, just for another outfit. I’ll talk more about my future plans here soon (though enough people know them that it won’t be surprising if it leaks out). :)
Last night while writing this, Jurassic Park decided to relocate to my living room. I’m talking about a bug. No, wait, not a bug. A prehistoric arthropod is more like what I went to battle with at 2am.
We’re talking 1.5 inches long, had about 50 legs, and moved really, really fast.
I broke my girlfriend’s shoe in my epic fight with this beastie. (I won, the thing is now vanquished. Made history like its prehistoric brethren.) As my friend Kelli remarked this morning though, I sure hope this thing doesn’t have family…
I added comments to my Tumblr blog today via Disqus. First impressions were very good. Adding the comments was a breeze, even for a not-super-technical person like myself. It took literally 3 minutes from sign up to deployment.
Everything seemed to be working fine, but now a mysterious issue has cropped up: comments are disappearing from the site. The comments still exist (see here for example), but on mockriot.com they’re gone.
Odd, to say the least. Comments are cool, but invisible comments? Not so useful.
