Scribble, scribble, scribble

broken

Be it noted that the "gjm11_blog" feed at LiveJournal was not created by me and is not maintained by me, and that it is not my doing that it has recently gone pear-shaped.

The person whose doing it is has quite enough to cope with without being the recipient of the grief that Certain People have directed in my direction, and the slip-up involved is an extremely understandable one that anyone could easily have made, so I shall point no fingers.

Normal service will be resumed shortly. Or you could just point your regular feed aggregator at http://www.mccaughan.org.uk/g/log/index.atom instead of going via LiveJournal, unless the only blogs you read are LJ ones.

Update, later the same day: Actually, I thought I knew who the person responsible for that feed is, but I was wrong. So: the person in question may or may not have quite enough to cope with without being, etc.

Update, a few minutes later: Ahem. It's my fault. I'm a moron. It should be fixed now. We apologize for the convenience.

Update, some hours later: Although this was my fault, the LJ account now appears to be stuck with the wrong URL. If whoever maintains it happens to be reading this, could you please tweak it accordingly? Thanks.

moved

If you're reading this at a URL that includes "ntlworld.com", you're in the wrong place. You want http://www.mccaughan.org.uk/g/log/; the RSS feed is at http://www.mccaughan.org.uk/g/log/index.rss and the Atom feed is at http://www.mccaughan.org.uk/g/log/index.atom.

The right way to tell you this would have been to make all the old pages and feeds return a 301 status code ("Moved Permanently"), but I don't think I can arrange for that to happen at ntlworld. (It's possible that I have, or will soon have, successfully done so. For reasons I shan't go into lest I grow angry, I won't be able to tell until after this goes up.)

books twenty-one, -two, -three

I'm starting to work through the stack of 19 books I've read since moving house. Daniel Dennett's robust attack on obscurantism about consciousness, Sweet Dreams; Ruth Padel's microscopic examination of 52 modern poems, 52 ways of looking at a poem; and Martin Rees's exploration of cosmological fine-tuning, Just six numbers.
