We’ve cut over DNS, and so you are viewing the new site. Our old articles are still available at their original URLs, so any direct links you had to them previously should still work.
For the time being, we are requiring logins to leave comments, until we better understand our spam-fighting options. But don’t think of it as yet another annoying password to remember: think of it as a chance to join our community (by remembering yet another annoying password). (psu informs me that we’ve turned off requiring logins, but I encourage regular posters, particularly those who might want to write for Tea Leaves, to go ahead and register anyway.
While you’re here, please enjoy Corey Kosak’s article Computer Scientists and Cruciverbalism”.
It’s good to be back.
We’ll see how the well the spam killer works, maybe we’ll put the registration thing back.
Hmm, so far the only thing I don’t like about the new version: the RSS feed no longer seems to update with a little line at the bottom saying how many comments there are. That was a great feature that let me know if there were big conversations happening…
I miss this too. Sadly, I have not been able to find a quick hack to make it happen. Maybe some of the wordpress gurus in the audience can help.
Our RSS feeds are still very much in transition. That comment hack was something I put in myself; hopefully it won’t be too hard to do in WordPress, either.
When you discover the comment hack, please please share it with me –
