Geeklawyer is not dead. But he is in a very large & complex case and so is unable to spare the time to blog. However the merciful release of closing submissions will soon be in sight whereafter the whoring and drinking shall recommence.

The site blogging software was upgraded and the comment system changed to the Disqus system — this will allow you to log in using your Facebook ID. In the past there were only about 3 people who ever bothered to register — can’t blame them either. Now there is no excuse.
Hopefully things are not broken, but time will tell.
Geeklawyer is terribly terribly excited to be going to Japan for the first time. He will be practising his poor Japanese on real live Japanese people and hoping not to cause too much offence. Stop giggling.
While he will be away from the blog the ubiquity of broadband in hotels means that he should be able to update it regularly and both post photos and show you where he has been on his google map.
From snowy Bavaria Geeklawyer wishes all his readers a happy litigious and prosperous new year.
Blog will be silent till late next week. Geeklawyer is going boozing with mates in a friend’s Bavarian castle.
He may have a headache when he returns.
Geeklawyer is, some will be disappointed to hear, alive & kicking.
He had to go into hiding after having renamed his motorcycle “The Terrible and Inexorable Wrath of Yaweh” failing to realise it was sinful. Now gangs of irate fellows with dreadlocks and skull caps have been throwing matzah balls at his windows. Pathetic. At least muslims know how to do death threats.
A podcast draws near.
The theme change is just ‘cos I tried to add nested comments, and because Wordpress is a fucked up design it has all gone tits up. Until I fix it this will be the temporary theme.
You ought to be able to comment — but if not email me.
And to add to my woes the MySQL database suddenly developed amnesia and forgot who I was. — jeez
Soz dudes.
Yes, Geeklawyer is arsing around with site themes again. Blame Martin George who alerted Geeklawyer to the Sandbox Themes Competition which is showing competition entries. Geeklawyer uses the Sandbox theming engine. He will be chopping and changing the site theme on an unpredictable and random basis.
Any feedback as to what looks good will be gratefully received.
Update:
lo-fi told me my anti spam stuff was fu*ked so no-one could leave comments. Cured. Tho’ nested comments still needs fixing.
Geeklawyer is, on occasions, prone to the intemperate. It is true.
No of course it wasn’t apology. Idiot. Just an explanation.
Geeklawyer’s co-blogger has started her posting career by going on strike.
Bizarrely he ran into Becky in town today — how random is that in such a large town?! Unfortunately he got his nuts ripped off and handed back to him in a silk purse.
Umbrage was apparently taken at Geeklawyer’s rather crass introduction of her to his readers. Like most emancipated women (who seem to be remarkably common these days?) she disliked being described as a babe, with accompanying photographs as proof. Seemingly she regarding this as diminishing her vast intellectual capacity and inherent capacity to interest readers.
She also seemed to think her appointment was merely a strategy to annoy Ruthie and make her jealous.
Geeklawyer feels the need to set the record straight:
Despite having crushed Ruthie’s personal life and career, for no reason other than that it amused him to do so, Geeklawyer does NOT have a problem with Ruthie at all nor she he; this is so whatever the cross blog sniping may imply to those not privy to our back-channel communications. So much so that Geeklawyer has deigned to allow Ruthie to buy him supper next week; albeit a vastly and enormously expensive supper. You may think that having wrought a catastrophic visitation upon her life, and then salted her open wounds by dumping her humiliatingly and publicly she would have to be mad to pay for the privilege. Geeklawyer says that you have a right to an opinion.
The point being that Ruthie and Geeklawyer and their respective blogs are not really in any form of war through proxies cobloggers or otherwise. Geeklawyer has been seeking Becky as a coblogger for many months before the parting of the GreatBlog.
Geeklawyer should also emphasise that Becky, despite being with the Open Rights Group, blogs in a private capacity.
Hopefully this bit of public grovelling will pacify her
