Welcome to WIL WHEATON dot NET.


If this is your first time here, you should read this.

By popular demand, you can now see or hear me read from my books Just A Geek and Dancing Barefoot! If you like what you hear, you may want to pick up a copy of Just A Geek: Teh Audiobook. Or not. Whatever. I'm not the boss of you.

You can also find me on PokerStars.com as "Wil Wheaton", and at blogging.la. My column The Games of our Lives is updated every Tuesday night in The Onion AV Club. I contribute poker stories to CardSquad, and I am an editor on the Suicide Girls (NSFW) technology newswire (SFW).

FUBARdN

Well, I've stirred up some epic database problems which are going to involve technical support, and a whole lot of time I just don't have right now.

This is the blessing and curse of computers: it's so easy to get stuff out of my head and onto my blog, even a moron like me can talk to people on the internets . . . but when something goes as bad as this has, it's well beyond my abilities to repair it myself, and time is something I don't have a lot of right now.

The archives are mostly broken, the database is FUBAR, and it's going to be at least a few days before I can get someone from Six Apart to help me (there's the small matter of me buying a license, because I've gotten all the help I can get from the existing documentation and forums.)

None of this, by the way, is meant to cast movable type in a bad light, and I still think it's the best software out there. This is entirely my fault, and is a result of my own limitations.

In other words, there probably won't be much here for at least the next several days.

UPDATE: I've made a temporary blog at Typepad, because I honestly don't know how long it's going to take me to get this fixed. Check out WWdN In Exile, if you dare.
