Not sure exactly what happened, and not sure exactly how I fixed it, but I appear to have done so.

This is good, because my last backup was a while ago. I’ll endeavor to do them more regularly, and encourage you guys to do them as well, if you like.

Note: If you don’t know what jism-coping is, see this entry at UGP.

It’s probably not difficult to write.]

So I noticed we’re getting a lot of hits possibly not related to our usual banter and interneting. (Actually can someone—Nick—explain how to read the stats page?) I figure it may be time for some kind of executive pow wow about page styling, organization and some state of the FTM stuff.
