I thought other people would be interested too.

En français ici.

“… a bailout transfers enormous wealth from taxpayers to those who knowingly engaged in risky subprime lending.”

Cat attack (you need volume on)

I’m experimenting a bit with talkinator.  If you want to experiment with it, just keep in mind, it’s not private – it’s all about anonymity and simplicity – no need for registration, edit your profile, etc.

To embed a chat room, you paste an HTML snippet on your site.

Here’s an example, embedded in this post. Normally you’d put it somewhere on the sidebar maybe:

If you are using an RSS aggregator, the chat widget may not show up, depending on the HTML and Javascript capabilities of you aggregator.

It seems that the name of your chat room must be a single word.

And here’s a baby hippo:

That’s where Knut was born.  And Flocke as well…. why do they get all the cute baby animals?

Apparently, it is possible to use Blogger with your own domain name: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55373

I’m seriously considering moving over because of the spam problem. With Blogger, you sign in with your google ID in order to add a comment.  With my site, it’s a scary CAPTCHA; moreover, when a new update of WordPress is available, I must upgrade because of security risks.

Everyone I know has a Google account, Blogger really benefits from being able to leverage these accounts.

There you go: spam, server administration and user accounts – three reasons to consider a move to Blogger.  Maybe they also have a fix for my writing impediments too… me fail English? mais c’est impossible 😛
