Nah, I’m not waxing poetic after today’s meetings.
Rather as an appropriate birthday piece I’m going to reprise part of a 2004 post that also spoke to PZ:
But, just to show that withdrawal was not complete, when I saw this guy:
I couldn’t help but think of PZ Myers.
I suspect most of you have a bit more bandwidth than you had in 2004 so click on that fellow (176 KB) and get up close and personal just like you know PZ wants you to do!
Happy birthday, PZ!

Note for Haloscan Users:
Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.
Note for Typepad Users:
Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.
