The spam program occupied the name shortly after I had removed the blog so I could edit and update the template.  Now the spammer blog is gone and I have reclaimed the address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, my present research and work demands mean that I will be unable to continue blogging as regularly as I did over the last few years.  So for the next while, OTW will be MIA. I do plan to get back to this eventually; I really have enjoyed discussions with readers of this blog, as well as comments from other notable bloggers.  I have also appreciated the various links received from other blogs over the years, be it popular blogs like Oxblog or Hitchensweb, or group blogs like the Popinjays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hopefully, we can get OTW back up in the not so distant future.  So check back, and don't write us off just yet!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6152204380183750977-1392910465562754786?l=outsidethewhale.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://outsidethewhale.blogspot.com/feeds/1392910465562754786/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6152204380183750977&amp;postID=1392910465562754786' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6152204380183750977/posts/default/1392910465562754786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6152204380183750977/posts/default/1392910465562754786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://outsidethewhale.blogspot.com/2007/08/otw-is-on-extended-leave.html' title='OTW is on extended leave...'/><author><name>OTW</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
