Hey everybody!

We’re Baaack!Sorry about the hiatus. For the record, blogger.com sucks. We just moved to a much more powerful system,WordPress, that is entirely hosted on our server. In other words, no more content blackouts. Plus, there are tons more little features that make the system just generally better, useful and entertaining.

You can check out old entries without having to use the Archives system, just by clicking “Next” on the bottom of every page. I know, pretty fucking intuitive, but, hey, like I said, Blogger.com sucks.

Thanks for sticking with us while we were down (strangely, traffic wasn’t sharply affected), and we look forward to rewarding your loyalty with improvements. If you notice any bugs, or have any problems with the new site, please let us know! We’re still doing some tinkering.
Cheers, and Keep on Eavesdropping

PS For those of you using the RSS feed, PLEASE note that the feed directory is no longer /rss.xml or /atom.xml, it is now www.overheardatmcgill.com/feed . PLEASE UPDATE YOUR FEED! Our tech guy has grandfathered-in the rss.xml and atom.xml links, so you can remain using the old feed.
