In light of the new information

May 18, 2004 by Michael Boyle

coming from Sy Hersh and others about what Rumsfeld did or did not know and authorize about the treatment of prisoners in Iraq, Jason Vest’s article about Stephen Cambone is very interesting. Cambone, if you haven’t been following, was the guy the Pentagon sent to the May 11 Hearings to chaperone Gen. Taguba.

I wrote a piece on

May 17, 2004 by Michael Boyle

Movable Type and their new pricing structure, but it was too long for the front page of the blog so I’ve moved it over to my “Words” section (which has been horribly underused in the past while): Charging for Movable Type.

After a couple of months

May 12, 2004 by Michael Boyle

now, I’m giving up on Kinja and I’m going to exclude Kinja from my site in the future. It’s not that I’m outraged or anything, it’s just that to me, the site never lived up to anything close to what it promised. None of the shortcomings are even killers – it’s more a “death by a thousand cuts” kind of thing. The honking big CNet ad didn’t help, but it was just the straw that broke the camel’s back, not the whole load. Other problems with Kinja? It seems very fickle about what it picks up and when, it often suffers from post-dumps from particular sites, it doesn’t deal with accents very well, posts are frequently out of sequence, and, even more, it doesn’t give me anything new, anything I can’t get better in a dozen other places. It’s too bad – judging by the look of the thing and the reputation of the folks who worked on it, I expected a lot more.
