The World Humanist Congress is over. The closing ceremony involved a few speeches, the Norwegian Humanist Choir, and this video played on the big screen.
Since the president of the Norwegian Humanist Association, Åse Kleveland, is also a well-known singer over here, and since she did do a little tune for us at dinner tonight, I thought I’d share.
So I’m watching this video with the lovely damp lady with all the silk scarves, finding it all rather stimulating, and then it gets to the end and…oh, man. Castration anxieties. I’m going to go curl up in my bed and whimper.
I can tell that most people still have no access to Freethoughtblogs because of this DNS snafu, so I think I’ll go back to bed for a bit, and then putter off somewhere and tinker on other projects. Yell when you can see this.
Those crazy Swedes, bustin’ into song over the weirdest things…like “it’s all the gays’ fault”.
Hey, look, James Randi has seen an integral number of orbits around the sun! Everyone congratulate him today.
Also note that I actually have a t-shirt with his face on it.

Let’s see if closing the old long thread helps a little with the load here. Besides, you want to see the squidgirl anyway.
Also, good news: a fresh new server goes in tonight. Commenting will be temporarily shut down sometime after 9pm while the blogs get transferred, and when they’re switched on again, these performance problems should be gone.
Just don’t ask me. I got the account handed to me on a platter. However, I am getting email like this:
OK, if I’m blocked, just say so . . . but FTB will not accept any user
name I try, even under its lowercase-only rule, on the FTB registration
page. It always comes back with “Only lowercase letters (a-z) and numbers
are allowed.” I looked on the new page and plenty of nyms there
uppercase letters. So do you know what the problem is?
Maybe you expert users can offer suggestions on these essential matters, like how to easily get set up with an account, how to set up gravatars, that sort of thing.
This is it. This is the NEW Endless Thread, reinstantiated on Freethoughtblogs. All the social chatter will have to take place here now. Let’s hope the server can take it! Testing to destruction…NOW!
