I just got an automated message from my hosting service saying my bandwidth limit had been exceeded. I’m not sure what this means, but it’s possible the blog will go off air without warning. In the meantime, please don’t download any big files, and use the RSS feed if you want to check the site regularly. I will see if I can get the comments feed working again.
If the site goes down, I’ll post directly to Posterous

Your site is too popular, pay us more.
Oh John, if only I could exceed my bandwidth limit!
Just delete all the comments from Alice and you’ll be fine for another decade.
Oh, good one, Tom N. There would be a few that would help, including mine.
