Patience

by Sean Carroll

Still in the process of changing hosts, and as you may have noticed, there is still a bug or two. Hang in there.

Update: Most things are now working! We have said goodbye to Bluehost, and are now in the apparently-capable hands of InMotion Hosting. Hopefully we’ll be seeing less of the dreaded “CPU Exceeded” errors from now on. There are definitely still a few bugs in the system, but we’re hoping to swat them away before too long.

Various comments left while the transition was in progress have disappeared (as predicted), although some have been restored. Some that were not restored were of the alternative-science persuasion. I think that from now on we’re going to be considerably more Draconian about deleting such comments without warning, trying to nurture a safe haven for dull old mainstream scientific orthodoxy here. It’s a big Internet, though.

    Congratulations. Hope you don’t include loop quantum gravity and DSR in the “alternative science” category. :-(

    I hope that comment preview of some kind will be back soon, for those of us who prefer to proofread before we post….





    • Cosmic Variance Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
      • Daniel Holz
      • JoAnne Hewett
      • John Conway
      • Julianne Dalcanton
      • Mark Trodden
      • Risa Wechsler
      • Sean Carroll
      Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.
