By way of Dumbmonkey, one of the old-school progressive blogs returns to the Big Game. Welcome back, Ethel the Blog!

3.31.
I’ve upgraded the site to Movable Type 3.31. Please let me know if y’all have any issues with functionality and the like.
…
Quiet again, I know. More researching and traveling back and forth from home base on this end…still, updates should hopefully resume their normal schedule in short order.
Revisionist History.
“History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” A personal note: At the kind invitation of Ralph Luker at Cliopatria, I’ve joined up as one of the founding bloggers of Revise and Dissent, a recently launched group effort by younger historians and historians-to-be over at the History News Network. I haven’t gotten around to posting there yet (and I expect I’ll be cross-posting quite often with GitM), but it’s now up-and-running and my new blog-colleagues are already posting, so check it out!
MySql Mishaps.
My apologies if you’ve tried to come by here lately and found the site derelict. There’ve been issues on the server side (perhaps akin to this) that look to have resolved themselves.
Fools of a Took.
Happy April Fool’s Day, y’all. Since I’m feeling lazy, I guess I’ll recycle Toast in the Machine for the sixth year in a row. But funnier, fresher stuff can be found elsewhere: Google gets into online dating, Bradlands goes Madlands, Fluxblog self-promotes, and the Museum of Hoaxes offers the Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes of all Time. Update: Wikipedia has a list of the day’s hoaxes. (Via FmH.)
Several Six-Packs of Funk.
A very happy sixth blogday to Quiddity, Neilalien (belated — Feb. 25), and LinkMachineGo (preemptive — Mar. 4), all must-reads on the fanboy/fangirl blog circuit. And, also turning older than one hand can count is Le Blogeur, perhaps the original who-blogs-the-bloggers site. Congrats to all!
Encomiums.
A very happy 5th blogday to one of Sydney’s finest blogs, Kris at Web-Goddess (In case you haven’t been reading her, she’s compiled a very thorough set of Year 5 stats.) Also, a belated sixth blogday to Boycaught of Caught in Between, who, like this site, also got into the blog-game in late ’99. Here’s to many more! Update: And, in other excellent blog news, Raza at HighIndustrial is back for the ’06…booyah.
Hal 6000.
A very happy 6th blogday to Hal at Blivet, and here’s to many more.
