Cheers and Jeers

Cheers to YBP Library Services for their plan to distribute eBooks to academic libraries. Where they lead, may many more follow! Details here.

Jeers to Blogger. Oh, how I am coming to loathe you. Today's wackiness began with me not being able to leave a reply on a friends blog. This has become such a regular feature of Blogger that I have all but given up commenting on Blogger blogs; I typically read them through the rss feeder and don't even click through to try. But today someone pulled my heartstrings and I really, really wanted to comment. Only to be told to "Type the characters you see in the picture above." But there WERE no characters, there was no picture above. Then I came here to blog about my disgust, and was told repeatedly that Blogger was unavailable.... try back later. Hopefully after I'd cooled down.

Blogger, you've about ended your usefulness to me. A change has been a long time coming.... This link will soon be moved!

Ha. Take that.

I'm sure they're shivering in their timbers over my intention to move my free blog elsewhere....
