A little time off, thanks to bad behavior
This blog receives approximately 10,000 SPAM comments each month. Akismet’s ‘false positive’ rate is quite low, however I like to make sure that nothing in the queue is legit before nuking it.

Down time and updates
I’ve recently completed a rather hasty migration of the server that houses this blog, my primary e-mail and all of the source code repositories.

Echoreply turns 200!
No, not 200 years, 200 posts. Apparently this is some kind of milestone for a personal blog. This is post #201! Thanks to all who read, especially those who comment and put up with my antics. Hopefully I have provided something interesting and useful. Cheers! –Tim
Site and code overhaul in progress
Its been nearly a year with the same design and format, its time for something new. A few things that used to be here aren’t here anymore. Here’s a list of breakage: Code repo is (mostly) down: I’m moving all of my Mercurial repositories to another system. The bandwidth they use is getting rather high, [...]
OK, no more ads!
I have received dozens of complaints regarding Ad Bard, it has been removed. I’m giving up on ad networks. This blog is a hobby, what good is it if it annoys readers? While, yes, I enjoy talking to myself .. blogging to myself is no fun.
