I’ve fiddled with the font colors and added the page top graphic. I also re-configured our Bloglet settings to match the new blog tools. This means that our subscribers should get a copy of today’s posts e-mailed to them in the next day. If you aren’t on the mailing list, sign up! Enter your email…

I’m going away for a few days to visit my parents. This Sunday is my sixth wedding anniversary, so I won’t be posting to Monitor Duty. Just to clear up where things stand: The site design is not done, not by a long shot, I’ve just been busy doing updates for Scott Beatty. Next week…

I don’t know who was searching our site for Batman Begins news, but I think it’s worth pointing out that we don’t have our archives up and running yet. Maybe they’ll be restored, and I’ll certainly announce it when they’re back up.

Here’s what’s happened: I had to upgrade Monitor Duty to a newer version of Moveable Type. The old version was far too prone to sabotage. I’d disabled the “comments” section long ago because it was too-easily spammable; however, while comments weren’t on the site, they were still being generated every day by spam-robots. I was…

Okay, okay, the thing is grade-a cheesy starter page, for the moment. But it’s up and it works. I may try to salvage the archives; we’ll see if it’s possible. I’m also playing with ColorCache to try to find a site color scheme that I like.

Well, I had to do something I don’t like to do. I had to actually perform a bit of censorship and remove Seth’s second link in his post which pointed to a site scaremongering about the draft. Why? For one thing, there was nothing comic book, movie or general geek-newsy about it. While certain deviations…

Seth is joining Monitor Duty! Welcome, welcome. Who else wants to join? As some of our contributors have moved on to such things as comic book work and defending our country, we’ll need some more people prowling the web for comic book, TV and movie news and rendering helpful comment upon it. If interested, be…

Why haven’t I been posting lately? Take your pick: 1) Massive home improvements. We’re talking digging an escape well around a basement window and shoveling 4 tons of rock into wheelbarrows and putting it into place in only three hours. And that was just today. I’m sore. 2) I’m entering thousands of comic books into…

Monitor Duty contributor Eric Spratling isn’t going to have much time to devote to Monitor Duty after this December. Why? Because he’s in the Army now. (To be grammatically correct, he will be in the army then, but that’s not singable.) Our best to you, Eric. Just don’t screw up on the intelligence work. Meanwhile,…

Geez, where is everyone? I spend a couple days working hard on a garage sale, finally drag my bone-weary carcass back to the home office and find that NO ONE else is posting?! What’s going on? Well, I’m going to ramble and talk about personal stuff. I don’t often do this, but why not? First…
