bruised with adversity

apparently the blo.gs database tanked late last week, and while the site is mostly down still, the various xml flavors of the favorites lists are available. but they’ve (temporarily?) restarted the main database of blogs, so my list of favorites is truncated to only those entries that correspond to entries in the new database — but without those actually being the correct entries. so instead of jeremy zawodny leading to his site, it leads to this site.

it’s like what happened back in october, but this time they’ve (at least temporarily) reset the database completely, rather than rolling back to where it was in june.

word has it that blo.gs is still not “switched over to yahoo’s infrastructure yet,” by which i guess they mean it is running on some box under someone’s desk (figuratively, not likely literally) instead of a more properly-managed set of machines.
