Blog Problems Fixed!
Posted by Jonathan on March 16th, 2006 (All posts by Jonathan)
The Chicagoboyz commenting system seems to be out of order, perhaps due to issues at the hosting company. I apologize for any inconvenience. Whatever the problem is, I suspect it will be fixed before very long.
UPDATE: The hosting company renamed our comments script because it was causing “load issues” on their server. This seems odd, as we have a Turing system that prevents automated comment spam. Perhaps trackbacks are the real problem. Whatever it is I will try to get comments back up ASAP.
UPDATE 2: Ah, turns out the Turing thing only blocks posting but does not prevent the running of CGI processes that clog up the server when a lot of spam comes through, as happened this afternoon. Comments are working again.

random test comment:
I was reading http://www.opinionjournal.com/cc/?id=110008094 and I thought the author’s name looked familiar. Not quite, but close.

Ha. Actually, while the names appear similar at first glance, they are probably unrelated.
