Jumping To Conclusions

A new blog. Everyone else is doing it, right? Like many others, I was inspired by Glenn Reynolds' Instapundit to share my thoughts with the world. The plan is to feature commentary on the world from a libertarian perspective, but more importantly from an "anti-idiotarian" perspective. (I believe the term was invented by the esteemed Mr. Reynolds.) That means that stupidity is the real target, whether it comes from the right or left, the U.S. or Europe, politicians or the media. But especially the media.

More updates later.

Is it just me or are the "comments" part of this page not working? If they are working, sorry, I haven't been able to read them for about a week so I haven't been able to respond to anything said there. And, if they're not working, well, I don't know how you'll be able to leave a comment to tell me so.

To answer Partha's question -- though the answer can be found elsewhere now -- it's not just Partha's computer. YACC, who provides our commenting service, is down, and will be down through the weekend. I would do something about substituting another service for YACC, but we're planning some big changes behind the scenes which will be unveiled shortly and make it unnecessary, so I see no great urgency to act right now. So if you want to complain about something Partha wrote (and who doesn't?) you'll have to respond to us via email.

Hey, everybody, Jumping To Conclusions is moving here, very shortly. A few minor bugs to work out, and we'll be here. So don't touch that dial. Wait right here.

Update: thanks to the efforts of an intrepid young Nieporent, we're up and running now. So keep watching this space.

Blogging is going to be on hiatus this weekend -- at least by me; my co-bloggers might have something to contribute -- because of the holiday. L'Shanah Tovah everyone. See you next year.

Posting has been a little slow lately, because I was away for the weekend and then my $*$%$%# DSL was out yesterday. As Gray Davis always says, I'll be back.

If you're wondering why blogging has been so light recently, this might provide a clue:

Sniff. Will start again soon.

Blogging may be a little light for the next two days because there appears to be something wrong with our telephone line, and the Evil Phone Company thinks it's no big deal if we just spend a few days with no phone service before they get around to sending someone out to fix it.

So if you want some more exciting and insightful commentary, you'll just have to wait.

New server. Testing to see whether it works. If you're reading this, it did.

Sigh. Sometimes I hate computers.
