I wonder if luddite.com is taken

This message was added allegedly automatically to my blog by Haloscan when I tried to enable its celebrated commenting and trackback features:

Haloscan commenting and trackback have been added to this blog.

And yet, a full 30 minutes later, my blog remains Haloscan-free.

Stupid technology.


UPDATE! As soon as I added my bitchy comments to the Haloscan post, the new commenting and trackbacking (is that a word?) appeared. As if by magic.

Also—without warning of any kind—Haloscan seems to have erased all the comments I've amassed in the last two years. Every. Last. One.

And with no comment archive, my life is completely without validation.

Stupid technology.
