Comments Fixed, and Some Thanks

The issue with comments is fixed (turned out to be nothing related to Disqus, which was behaving normally), but the unfortunate side effect is that since things were misconfigured, a couple of comments are now attached to the wrong URL for the site and I can't seem to move them within Disqus' admin panel. In short, they're lost :)

So I wanted to thank Nicole for commenting to offer support and encouragement for my presentation (which went really well, incidentally), and I also wanted to thank SeedM8 for commenting about how to find where their servers are located (I did ultimately decide to stick with SeedM8 for my seedbox anyway, as they are suitably offshore, which satisfied the last lingering requirement I had).

So, er, yeah, comments are working again! This time I won't misplace any :)

About

I'm William Ferrell, a 35-year-old software engineer and author. I live in Orlando, Florida, USA. I am an atheist, and a secular humanitarian.

I firmly believe in the U.S. Constitution and its Amendments. I hold the firm conviction that its principles, especially the separation of church and state, trump any modern-day commercial, political, or religious interests.

I support and prefer open source platforms, tools, and languages like Linux, LibreOffice, Eclipse, and C/C++/Python, and believe closed-source companies like Microsoft and Apple are destroying genuine innovation in computer science, at least in the United States, with constant patent trolling and litigation instead of competing on merit. I oppose software patents.

I donate to worthy causes and I vote. I call people out in public for bad behavior, including displays of bigotry, racism, homophobia, and the many other flavors of hatred I find offensive.

My hobbies include photography, writing, gaming, computer science, and this little slice of the web.
