I just updated the Booklist section of the roll with the current queued stack. There may be an addition tomorrow - keep your fingers crossed for me. S - the Hyperion books were a blast - thanks.

First, a status checking site: Has the Large Hadron Collider Destroyed the Earth Yet?

Quickly followed by the essential sound effect.

(Check the source html on the LHC site.)

Updated.

thanks, G!

I just put up a new project page to document some work on a brackish water Southeast Asian mangrove biotope-ish aquarium.  It’ll always be available from the ‘Pages’ section in the right margin (way down). Not sure how I’ll indicate updates - maybe just more miniposts like this…

Bookride: Rare Book Guide, Every One a Winner. J.G. Ballard! Aurel Stein! Dr. Seuss! And enjoyable snark. Added to the Booklist section.

h/t Dinos und Robots.

Made curious by yet another search term, I checked. At this moment in time - subject to change without notice - DoaMNH is result number one when you feed ‘teckelmania‘ into google. Time to break out the champagne!

On the topic of search terms, this screencap from April 30 makes me happy:

Eclectic! Funkadelic!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Um, not quite - but it does seem like I’m up on a new platform. Will shake stuff down - there will likely be a burp or two over the next couple days. Loyal readers, please bear with me!

Update1 - RSS is back, but the feed address is a little different than the one I was using - http://www.hawkdog.net/wordpress/?feed=atom is working for me.

Update2 - I seem to have lost some comments (everything after Jan. 24?) - I’ll try to get them back this evening - time to hack away at the XML export file I used to restore the posts/comments.

Good news - the blog is mostly updated to Wordpress 2.3.x. XMLRPC (a component that allows me to post from other blogging clients - see post below for an example) is functioning properly; it wasn’t working on the 2.0.x software I was using.

Bad news - RSS, comments and direct links in to posts still aren’t working. I’m working on it… If you see anything else boogered up and would like to let me know, I’d appreciate it: dr.hypercube at gmail.com.
