Why is this the Last Worthless Evening? Because comments on this site will finally be fixed when TalkLeft launches on Scoop (beta version) tomorrow night. The new server is up and running and loaded. I will be so glad not to have to push comments through by hand every few minutes or hours as I've been doing for the last 45 days and the site will be so much faster. Hope you all like it as much as I do.

In the meantime, enjoy this Don Henley classic....from when he looked really sexy with his long hair. I used to think he was singing just to me. (For those not into guys, the woman in the video is really hot too.)

    Okay - now the true test. Can I post and not have to wait?! This is one of my favorite blogs but the waiting period has been cramping my style. Heads up, Jim!

    yes, commenting will be instantaneous once you register on the new site. Comments will not be moderated. There will be no anonymous commenters.

    Goodbye Old Site! When next we meet you will be new! "As in this body, there are for the embodied one childhood, youth, old age, even so is there the taking on of another body." -- The Bhagavad Gita "Thus finding myself to exist in the world, I believe I shall, in some shape or other, always exist; with all the inconveniences human life is liable to, I shall not object to a new edition of mine; hoping, however, that the errata of the last may be corrected." -- Benjamin Franklin

    We should be there by midnight, Mountain Time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We worked on this till 2 am last night and all day and evening today. The new server is 512GB HDD, 2GB ram, dual Opteron processors, which are 64-bit processors. TalkLeft will be the only site on it. I know next to nothing about servers, but I'm told this is a big deal.

    Old computer joke: Q: "What's the worst thing your system administrator can ever say to you?" A: "Go get your backup tape. You do have a backup, don't you?" Just kidding. It's going to work so well you'll be sure something went wrong. ;-)

    Then you know more than me. Ever hopeful.

    It's midnight Mountain Time and we're still working on it. Wake me up when the morning comes. (yes that was a terrible song.)
