Computers just present an unending series of technical difficulties. While I am still enjoying bliss with my (er, Laura’s) Mac, and network reconfiguration here at Ted Roche & Associates have made life much better here, Radio Userland seems to be having a failure of its commenting system, causing page responses to slow to a crawl. In an attempt to speed the rendering of my home page, I’ve turned comments off for a while. If you have suggestions for a better comment server, well, I’d appreciate an email.
