Oops.

Why having automated tests for your web site's functionality is a good idea.

So I got fed up maintaining a postfix mail server with Spamassassin and ClamAV. Don't get me wrong, these are great pieces of software - but running them doesn't float my boat. So I moved all my mail hosting over to Google.

Unfortunately, I forgot to reconfigure this blog. So for those of you who have been trying to sign up and getting errors like 'address family not supported by protocol' - sorry, my bad. The site was trying to connect to a non-existent mail server to send you a password. Thanks to those of you who emailed me about the problem.

For now, I've reconfigured the site to allow you to specify your own password. If comment spam becomes ugly though, I'll have to turn it off again - and actually get on and rewrite this blog on something less weighty than Plone, which will also allow me to have you able to add comments without having to create an account. I hate it when sites make me do that, and it irks me that this software makes you guys do that.

So for now, you should be able to join and add comments as you'd expect.

Oops.
