BA Hostiness issues

Update (3:00 Mountain time): Huzzah! The site is back up.

Folks– The web host for this site, BlueVirtual, is making some changes over the weekend (changing datacenters for you tech geeks out there). The site is running abysmally slow, and I suspect this is the reason. Hopefully this will clear up in a few hours, but for now, be patient. Ironically, if you’re reading this on Saturday morning, you probably already were patient to get this far! :-)

Since I’m on the topic, I am still working on the ads, cleaning out icky ones. For those of you getting the dread Pirate Roberts “invalid regex string” error when posting comments, I am working on that as well, though hampered by the slow connection issue. I may yet get that one licked today.

In the meantime, why not read this fun Scientific American blog post about how we’ll all be dead in 10-12 million years anyway? Get some perspective.
