Total System Meltdown
In case you're wondering why my blog has been so quiet for the last two weeks, it's because I've experienced a total system failure of my blog. Apparently my web host, Ibiblio.org, upgraded their database software, and in the process mangled my blog's data. You can still read the posts, but I can't post anything new to the site. (I'm editing the HTML by hand to post this message. So I've had to bite the bullet and pay Movable Type to install the latest version of their software and pray that they can save my old blog data. Otherwise, I'll be spending a weekend or two putting humpty dumpty back together again.
Meanwhile, if you want to catch up on my blogs and podcasts from the Berkman blogging conference, check out my mobcasting blog. Also, I've just launched a new website called The Gates @ Central Park, an open blog and mobcast for Christo's upcoming art project in New York's Central Park. If you're going to be in New York from February 12-27, visit Central Park then post something to the blog - the site accepts text and photos by email, as well as voicemails, which get published on the site as podcasts.
So hopefully, this system crash will get solved in the next few days. If not, pray for my blog. Pray hard. I'll need all the help I can get... -andy
