Blog recovered!

After over a year, I have managed to recover and restore my blog.

In November of 2005, I moved all of my web projects to a new webhosting service, and, at the same time, upgraded the software that runs this blog. In the process, I managed to make it impossible to log into the blog, even though I was confident that I knew the passwords. Over the last year I've spent the occasional saturday afternoon trying to figure out what was wrong, but after a couple of hours of trying I had to move on to other things.

Well, this afternoon I found the problem: an unusual and unexpected side effect of a random setting on my webhost's control panel. It took me most of the day to track it down, and ten seconds to fix it once I figured out what the problem was.

The upshot is that my blog is back, at last. About a thousand times over the last year, politics and science stories have popped up that seemed worth writing about, but I didn't have my preferred venue available. Now it's back.

See you around the net.
