Peering At Modulator’s Navel

This entry was posted in Modulator on by

The past 10 days have been near a complete vacation from blogging, well, the Ark boarded a couple times but that was about it. Looking back, August has been our slowest month since September 05.

A lot of my blogging time over the past 6 months has been given over to learning to play Go and what that still nascent endeavor hasn’t consumed has been taken by work and family. Kind of like the rest of you, right?

There has been and, with the fall elections stumbling upon us, will continue to be plenty of grist for the mill.

The future will be told by the writing on the page.

Note for Haloscan Users:

Haloscan started (the end of July) rejecting trackbacks if they were submitted “too rapidly” by the same host. I don’t know what the timer is but it is long enough so that it was very difficult to ping everyone that is using Haloscan for trackbacks. I’m sure that they are doing this to try to hold back the tide of trackback spam but it makes the service pretty useless for carnival type posts. Perhaps you can contact them and urge some different solution. Update: Typepad appears to be doing the same thing. Everytime I update the Ark it appears the timers are reset and the long list of MT autogenerated pings fail. Yecchhhh….
