  • Home page frozen? Sheesh!

    Hmm, well it seems my foray into #upstreaming may have somehow resulted in my home page not updating properly. I’m not sure why that would be, but posts to the home page today that can be accessed via category and date index pages (such as Deadline City and Test of Archipelago) are not showing up…

  • Test of Archipelago

    This XML-RPC stuff is pretty cool.
