the
end of comments
I
was notified the other day that Echo, the comment
system I use, will be going the way of the dodo
bird. In other words, extinction. Disappeared. Totally
gone.
Bastards.
When I added comments to madhaiku.com some eight
or nine years ago, I chose Haloscan because it was
simple, which was important because I manually manipulate
the site with my limited html skills (and Dreamweaver).
Best of all, Haloscan was FREE.
Then, a couple of years ago, some company bought
Haloscan and started charging for it. Granted, it
was only 12 bucks a year, but still...
Now the company has decided to "evolve"
into a "new business model," which doesn't
include the current commenting widget. Fortunately,
I have some time to figure out what I'm going to
do. The "end of life," as they put it,
won't occur till October.
So, my friends, take your potshots while you can.

a visit from President Obama?

On
June 17, 2011, shortly after 11:30 a.m. EDT, someone
in the Executive Office of the President of the
United States of America landed on madhaiku.com
while searching the internet for haiku -- specifically,
"mad at you haiku." Whoever it was spent
a little more than 10 minutes scrolling through
the MadHaiku archives. Since whoever it was left
no comment, it's unknown whether he (or she) found
whatever he (or she) was looking for.
A few tidbits, however, can be gleaned from the
site meter statistics. The person was on a PC running
Windows NT 6.1, using Internet Explorer 8.0. (Huh,
I would've figured the Obama Administration for
Apple people.) He (or she) used ask.com instead
of Google. This is the page that he (or she) landed
on: click

I suppose it could've been anyone in the president's
office looking up haiku that day -- a secretary,
an aide to the chief of staff, even an intern. I'd
like to think, though, that it was President Obama
himself looking for a little inspiration on a haiku
he wanted to send to someone he was pissed at, maybe
House Speaker John Boehner. I'd like to think the
president sent something like this:
You dirty bastard!
how come you double-crossed me
on the damn budget?
