We are trying out a plug-in that lets people edit their comments on Samizdata for five minutes after posting them… no more eye watering typos, right? This is just an experiment to see if this causes anything else to break.

I am away from HQ for a few days and looking out over the horizon I see this…
Where am I*? This may cause a delay in un-smiting legit comments that get smitten/smote/smitted by the samizdata Smite-Bot. * Not you, Jennings, you already know 😛 July 9th, 2016 | 14 comments - (Comments are closed)
 The samizdata smitebot interface is well and truly out of London, drinking nice wine and eating mighty food, so there may be delays in unsmiting comments that get moderated by the dreaded samizdata smitebot. According to Google Maps, I could walk to Kiev in 170 hours or Warsaw in 92 hours. Where am I?

As a key aspect of the samizdata interface is still far from Samizdata HQ, and the local internet is powered by small but very noisy frogs on a bamboo treadmill, rather than the usual industrious British hamsters on a steel one, delays in comment moderation will continue for several days…

The samizdata server hamsters will be on holiday on Jan 2nd as they sleep off their hangovers. We hope they will be back on their treadmills at some point on the 3rd. December 31st, 2015 | 4 comments - (Comments are closed)
In the UK, there is now some police advice in a video on what to do in the unlikely event of getting caught up in a terrorist attack. The first tip is to run, the next is to hide, phone the police if you can and say where you are, and wait for the armed police to turn up, and when they do, try not to get shot by them by waving your hands around too quickly. For those unfamiliar with hiding from armed killers, the video suggests.
Another handy tip is:
A fuller version of the video is here. Well that’s made it all fairly clear then. The video is pretty much what you might have expected. As Bob Geldof put it in ‘I don’t like Mondays‘ ‘…And the lesson for today is how to die…’. Truth be told, the advice is realistic given the legal situation in the UK. Do our friends in Texas have a different take on what to do? December 18th, 2015 | 44 comments - (Comments are closed)
Yes, Samizdata had some technical issue earlier today but the hamsters have been fed and all is now well again. September 17th, 2015 | 10 comments - (Comments are closed)
Sorry about the intermittent server issues we are experiencing. Replacement hamsters are being installed. May 3rd, 2015 | 12 comments - (Comments are closed)
At some point tomorrow, the samizdata server is going to be rebooted whilst various arcane rituals are preformed and the hamsters that make it all spin are fed and rested. So if Samizdata is off-line for a while, that is why.  March 4th, 2015 | 13 comments - (Comments are closed)
The server was a tad querulous for a while earlier today, but it seems it was nothing a little spanking could not cure (like most things really). September 22nd, 2014 | 2 comments - (Comments are closed)
