The issue that has made my blog even more of a pain to load than usual for the past week or so has been fixed. If your attempts to visit the main page have been greeted with ten minutes of browser-crushing load-time, your troubles are over–things ought to have gone from “unbearable” back down to “merely unpleasant” now. (Comments are still the usual disaster area. Just be patient and let it do its thing for a few minutes and I assure you that the comment you just wrote that looked like it didn’t get posted did, in fact, get posted.)
Again, I hate metablogging, but I wanted to let anyone who’s stayed away for the past few days know that it’s safe to come back, and to repeat my promise that concrete steps are being taken to greatly improve the Attentiondeficitdisorderly experience. Thank you for your support.
