I've been saying for a few weeks that this weblog's comments are going to be improved with a Disqus system. Worry no more, I have a "hard date." I'm not going to give it to you because my personal experience with hard dates in I.T. is that things come up, and delays are routine. But, it won't be much longer. In the range of weeks, not months. All the features that I missed will be back, and you should be able to leave comments with Twitter or Facebook authentication.
