And Speaking of Slow Internet Problems . . .

I’ve been having slow server response times on the blog the last couple of days. This appears to be a temporary problem that the service is addressing. They have a server upgrade scheduled for Saturday, at which point things should (hopefully) return to normal.

Sorry for the problem. It’s been frustrating for me, too, but at least they seem to be addressing it.

Here’s the notice they put up:

Scheduled Downtime May 28, 2004

We apologize for the intermittent slow performance of TypePad web sites over the past 2-3 days. We’re having some problems with our storage servers, so we’re scheduling a hardware upgrade for the early morning of Saturday, May 28, 2004, from 12:00am to 2:00am Pacific time. During that time, TypePad-powered sites and TypePad itself will be down for maintenance. Thanks for your patience!

I’ll still be blogging in the interim, though.
