Blogger Bites It

Excuses, excuses. I would have blogged a lot more yesterday, including that post this morning, if Google's Blogger hadn't bit the dust. They added a new "feature" which, apparently when actually tried by the end users (like me), brought the entire system crashing down.

I think I know what happened. Guido persuaded them to rewrite the whole thing in Python, which is the favorite computer language of the pimply-faced hacker crowd he runs with, and not sufficient for the demands of true software engineering. The result was pretty much what you would expect.
