I’ve always been in awe of the world of IT. From just a 0 or a 1, our whole current existence plays out and, worryingly, depends.

Because it is seldom that clearcut.

The might of Google is still, after several days, ’working on’ the fact that this blog’s Spellchecker seems to have exploded and died. And, if you look at the Help Forum, it has done so with a lot (and I mean a LOT) else.

And it can be more than frustrating.

Take a recent, and as yet unfulfilled foray of mine on the Newsnight blog. Actually a couple running at present, but this one will do.

I saw a piece that even their editors posting the original had up 3 times, which is indicative of getting an error message and reposting. Which is bad enough. But can also be embarassing when it did go up and now you look silly for the duplicate, or, as here, multiples.

So I saw this as a chance to make a point. Little did I suspect the irony would currently be descending into farce. I am now on my 4th attempt to post this:
