- After much flip-flopping I have given in and adopted Disqus as the commenting system. It breaks the WP commenting system, but that was just me being a control freak. With Friendfeed supporting Disqus, it does add some value there as well. No one was using the Viddler video anyway, one of the main reasons I had resisted. Here is the Disqus page for bbgm
- Going to Bio-IT World? Drop me a line if you are and we can try and meet (it’s going to be hectic).
- Ever wondered how I keep track of all the services I use … I keep a mindmap
