Comments disabled for a while

My hosting provider has changed something in their perl instalation which means that MT-Blacklist (the thing that protects this blog from comment and trackback spam) is broken and not doing its job properly. I’ve located a fix but need my hosting provider to help me apply it. Until they do I’ve disabled comments so that I don’t have too much crap to clear up once the problem is over. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have something that you want to say in response to anything I’ve said then please email me the comment and I’ll post it for you once the problem is fixed. I’m not expecting this situation to last until beyond tomorrow.

Oh, and by “disabled comments”, I mean that I’m about to remove the comment and trackback scripts so you’ll get errors if you try use them to post a comment or a trackback…
