Et Tu, Blogger?

As many of you already know, Blogger had some kind of a system wide outage for the past 24 hours. No one using Blogger could post, update or otherwise republish their blogs. This caused quite a stir here at Memepunks, as we enjoy nothing more than bringing you regular timely content. And it couldn't have happened at a worse time, as we had just started getting a steady stream of new readers from a submission that hit Boing Boing. (welcome Boing Boing readers!) It appears now that the storm has passed. Everything is back to normal. Hopefully Blogger will learn from this disruption and see that something this drastic doesn't occur again any time soon.

Thank you all very much for your patience. We will very soon return you to your regularly scheduled cutting edge science, paradigm shifts, and Internet weirdness. In the mean time, let me suggest you give a listen to Cory Doctorow's Human Readable podcast. It's a short story he wrote for the Future Washington anthology, about an advanced society wide computer network that starts experiencing long unexplainable outages. (wink)

Hey Blogger, Let's never fight again.
