Sorry if you've had trouble leaving a comment, or accessing the site in any way. I was the subject of what amounts to a minor-league denial of service attack this morning that basically filled my disk quota and screwed my email up. I've taken steps and all should be well (for now). If you sent an email and think I might have missed it, send again. Please be sure to use only the exact email address on my contact page, others may not work.
Update: Well, sorry for the lack of updates so far today -- spent the morning sorting this out and that kind of took the wind out of my sails a bit...and there's real work to be done.
BTW, if you're looking for web hosting, I can't recommend Hosting Matters highly enough. Though I sorted this issue out myself, they have been excellent at keeping the site up and letting me go beyond my allocated storage and bandwidth without saying a word about it (/knock on wood). They also respond to support tickets quickly. Word to them.

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!
