Gerre, our original Crabbapple in Residence (resumes now being accepted, only well qualified applicants need apply), is gearing up to leave the frigid climes of South Jersey for the dull monotony of day after day of warm cloudless skies that is apparently what passes for winter in Phoenix, AZ.
Fortunately through the magic of WordPress we’ll be able to keep up with Gerre’s cross-country exploits through his new blog:
He’s already got a few posts up and will be documenting his trip as he goes. Head on over and wish him well in the comments.
Comments Off
OK, the site has been updated so that comments are now automagically tweeted to the ACAMUG Twitter account along with a link to the associated post. Add yourself as an ACAMUG follower on Twitter and you’ll be able to follow what’s happening via your Twitter stream.
Please be aware that this also means that comments to the site which weren’t particularly private before are less so now as they can potentially be seen by any Twitter user. If this is an issue for people please let me know and we’ll work out a way to override this behavior.

Previously, due to a never-ending stream of comment spam, every comment submitted to the site had to be manually approved by the web site administrator before it would appear on the corresponding post. This was the reason why comments could take a long time to appear.
As of today comments submitted by people who have already had at least one approved should appear more or less instantly on the site. Note that this requires that you use the same name and email address each time you submit a comment.
I’m also trying to arrange for Twitter tweets to be sent to the ACAMUG twitter account whenever a new comment appears on the site but at the moment the only available web site plug-ins that support it seem to be broken. I’ll keep trying.
