Peter Hentges Broke jefftidball.com…
…but it was not his fault.
For a long time, the links-to-comments for shitfilter entries and required reading entries have been broken. (Look to your right and scroll down. They look like this: "[0]." Those are links to comments people have left about the shitfiltrates and readings.)
I was aware the links were broken, but never took the time to fix the problem, because it was fiddly, required technical research, and no one ever made any comments about those things, anyway. (But then, how could they? The links were broken.)
Anyway, perennial troublemaker Peter Hentges somehow managed to leave a comment about Garfield Minus Garfield. (Though a third-party browser that accesses MovableType's guts directly? I have no idea. He is wily, that's all I know.) When I approved the comment, MovableType elected to melt down instead of incrementing the number between the brackets.
So, anyway, jefftidball.com has been coming up with a blank page for the past two days (thanks to everyone who e-mailed and stopped me in the hall at work), but now it doesn't. Those of you who follow all this via RSS probably had no idea. You go, RSS readers.

Dammit! You wily kids and your technical skills! I thought I'd finally brought you down at last! Well, you may have recovered this time, Mr. Tidball, but you won't be so lucky when I unleash my next unstoppable attack!
(Being an RSS reader, I get a link directly to the archived entries so following that shitfilter entry's link took me to the archive page which also holds the comment form.)
Here I am, just now noticing the proximity between obliviousness and oblivion.
But I would be remiss if I did not note how excellent Garfield without Garfield is. Thanks for linking to it, even if I wasn't cool enough to comment on it back when doing so would have caused a meltdown!
