Some letters to the editor are too long to print. And some people include long URLs in the text of their letters. Those long URLs are pretty much impossible to reproduce on paper, and useless besides. Even if we could print them, no one’s going to type a 40-character string of more or less random […]

Times-Standard Blogland
Our semi-esteemed colleagues at the Times-Standard have dived back into the Internet, launching or relaunching a whole slew of blogs. Check out T-S Online Editor James Faulk’s convocation here. A convenient time to rain down fire on the enemy Eureka Reporter. Kick ’em while they’re down, James! Unfo, each of the 10 T-S blogs has […]
Press Issues and Global Warming
Copies of the new NCJ are usually hitting Arcata and Eureka right about now. Not this week. It looks like there were some problems at the printers last night, and the Journal won’t be going out until this afternoon or tomorrow. We haven’t seen any copies yet. Here’s a tease, though. This week, the Journal […]
Disemvowelment In Effect
We’ve been blissfully troll-free in the month that the Blogthing has been live, but it was only a matter of time. Notice: Trollish posts herein and henceforth will be disemvoweled. If you really want to see what has been posted you can figure it out, but you’ll have to put in a bit of work. […]

Lame Excuses
Many apologies for the sporadic posts. Truth is, we’re all working on some massively awesome things that we’re gonna unleash on your head next week and all throughout the month of December. Trust me — cool stuff coming up in the paper. Take that to the bank, sucka. Meanwhile, we just put our annual Gift […]
Ceci n’est pas une Pipe
Last time it was Wordpress. This time it’s the Blogspot blogs borking the Pipe. Blogspot blogs are sidelined for the time being. Readers of a technical bent can follow the thrilling progress of the ticket here. UPDATE: Much love to wizard Piper Greg H for the workaround.
Pipes Unclogged
See yesterday’s post. It’s all fixed now. Once again, all your Humboldt County favorites can be found in the same RSS feed. Thanks to Kevin and the Yahoo Pipes team for the fix! I get the feeling that it was more than a trivial bit of work.
Clogged Pipes
Apparently there’s quite a few people who make use of the “Humboldt Blogs” Yahoo Pipe that I put together a few months ago. That’s really gratifying, because I love dinking around with software and this is the first time I’ve actually built anything that the general public has found useful. For the uninitiated, the “Humboldt […]
Don’t Get Comfortable
surfer. Hello, friends! This is going to be the temporary home of the North Coast Journal blog. We’re going to get this party started here on Wordpress before that glorious day when we make the jump to our own homepage. How long will we be here? Maybe a couple of weeks. Probably a month or […]
