Just a note that I'm not able to access email at the moment, so if you sent me anything since last night I won't be seeing it until the problem is resolved. Seems to be an issue with server loads and the ongoing Instalanche. This is pretty unusual, as prior traffic surges have never caused any issues, but I guess that's the way things roll some times. Host says they're working on it. At least the site is still up.
If you have something you absolutely, positively need to get to me about, use the IM contacts on my About & Contact page or use my backup email at martinsolomon =at= gmail =daught= com.
Update: All appears to be back to normal, after a mostly wasted day. It's tough to do any real blogging without email because you feel like you're flying blind in many ways. (You feel like your inbox is full of messages telling you about all the mistakes and issues you missed -- on the other hand, maybe it's just a convenient excuse for a day off.)
My hosting service has generally been quite good, but sometimes when you have an issue it's a matter of getting it looked at by just the right person. Isn't that always the way?

Comment Info and Policy:
1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
