Get it off your chest.
Update by kos: The NY Times' Adam Cohen dedicates his Sunday column to Crashing the Gate. Honestly, the response to the book has been almost surreal. I'm starting to think it might be a pretty good book.
Update II (kos again): I mentioned this in a diary thread, but I guess I should make it a bigger announcement -- the new Ajax-based comments are going to go live on Sunday night. They're already finished, but I wanted to give Jeremy the weekend off, and any new rollout like this will require some initial bug squashing and tweaking (even though Peeder, who wrote the code, has a seriously pimp testing suite and should have caught most of them).
The next big project will be a re-engineering of how the diaries work to improve the signal-to-noise ratio. The programming should take a couple of weeks, but I think we've figured out a way to give the really good diaries a fighting chance -- something many don't have now. It'll be controversial, of course (what isn't around here?), but at least we have a solution in mind.
