When I upgraded to a a new version Movable Type (the software I use for Goulash), a lot of stuff broke. This includes comments, the ability to search, the icemaker in my fridge, and, most startlingly, the American banking system. I've done some peeking around and... it's just a lot of work to fix this stuff. I do have short term solutions, though.
When you feel the urge to make a comment, head to your local bar with a Sharpie and write your comment on the bathroom wall. Come back the next day for a reply; bar bathrooms have frequent, witty repartee. When you feel the urge to search through the Goulash archives, just copy each entry into one big document in Notepad and use Notepad's search feature to locate the entry in question. There! I am a problem solver by nature.
In other news, the people of Austin are getting worked up about Hurricane Ike. I don't think this is unreasonable; a hurricane named after the bane of Tina Turner's existence SHOULD be feared. At the same time, I don't know how logical it is for me to load up on hundreds of dollars worth of canned peaches and powdered milk. We are a couple hundred miles from the coast; it just doesn't seem right to me that a hurricane is going to turn Austin into Lord of the Flies. (Nevertheless, I shall control the conch if it does.)
Still, it is going to be a bad weekend for a lot of people along the coast. Here's hoping everybody stays safe and that this Ike, again like Ike Turner, fades meekly into the background.
