Just a quick housekeeping note: ODTAA has just moved from Blogger to WordPress. The template and existing posts survived the transition; the comments, sadly, did not.

So if you’re wondering where your comments went, and whether CSIS and the NSA deleted them and will be coming after you next, it’s just the change in software.

Keep telling yourself that as you hastily cram your valuables into an overnight bag along with a selection of passports and several thick bundles of banknotes in assorted currencies. It’s just the change in software.

Meanwhile, as you wait for the acid to burn off your fingerprints and the face-altering implants to fuse to your cheekbones, join me in a moment of thanks to Blogger. What they (and services like theirs) have done is nothing short of brilliant. If you know anybody who lacks tech chops but wants to try out this blogging thing they’ve heard so much about, you could do much worse than refer them to the 100-per-cent-free Blogger.
