Site announcement

Okay, the spleenville.com domain is now resolving to the new site. Reset your bookmarks.

PS: I haven't re-selected the weblogs.com or the blo.gs pinging utility. I may not do so; I have noticed that posts load up much faster if each one doesn't have to ping. But you all visit my site religiously every hour, right?

I have you tabbed at home, so it comes up regardless, but it is nice at work to be able to take a quick glance at my blogroll to see if there's a post.

You can just go to the weblogs.com ping site form, fill it in, then bookmark the result page. Lair Simon had a how-to a while back. Hang on, let me find the URL...

Just be warned that the server tends to screw up during high-use hours, like lunchtime, and you may have to submit it a few times.

Every hour on the hour. Note the URL.

Heh -- Charles, I just emailed you.

Ith, Meryl: I might do the manual pings instead. Automatic pinging was really slowing down my posting as well as Tim's (he sent me an email saying how much he liked the faster posting without pings).

It's not a biggie :) Blogrolling has just made me lazy. I remember the old days, before I had blogrolling and never knew when my faves had been updated.

I admit it -- I rely on blogroll pings to know when folks are up and at 'em and posting. I'm just a lazy bastard.
