The last couple of days have been strange at NN. <\/span> First, we were told that the site would be taken down at noon GMT. <\/span> It wasn’t so some of us spent the afternoon waiting to see when it would happen, which lead to some strange conversations. The whole thing felt a bit like this:<\/p>\n

\nAfter 2\u00bd hours, the site finally went down, with me wondering if Richard Grant<\/a> was going to be spirited away to Sb (he wasn’t. I suspect he’s going to become A Scientist instead).
\nThe following morning, I got up bright and shiny, to discover that … I couldn’t log in. And I wasn’t the only one. I had another nature account, so I was using that to wander the blogs like a wraith sucking sustenance from other blogs, and bumping into other members of the Damned, using their ghost accounts to keep at least a part of their essence attached to the Nature Network<\/i> blogs.
\nDuring the course of this, I somehow managed to do something remarkable. Having two accounts, both recognised by Nature Network, means that one account could befriend the other. So naturally, I did that (as well as befriending some other wraiths). But then somehow, I managed to do this:

\nMy contacts, yesterday<\/i>
\nNot only had I befriended the “other” me (as well as the other Richard), I also befriended myself – the same account. This makes me so proud, but is probably going to create the sort of problem that rivals the LHC for universe-destroying capabilities. I hope so, anyway: at least I would be memorable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
