Several announcements:

* LOAD TIMES: The load time on the front page has bogged down due to several factors. If Sphere-related content doesn’t respond any better today, it’ll be disabled until Sphere gets their problems fixed. This has been slowing down the front page considerably lately. Other issues on the load time are being addressed and (hopefully) will be a LOT better by the end of the day.

* OUT for a WHILE: Mondo will be on the road until late afternoon pursuing a story (or 2). LBG is…well, who exactly knows? But she says she’ll be posting later this evening. She promises several stories then. So look for an avalanche of posts later in the day.

* COMMENTS/TRACKBACKS: All the comments on new stories are being handled by Halo-Scan. The WordPress comments still function on all older posts (older than mid-last week).

* It’s a glorious day here. Hope your’s is every bit as nice.
