On the subject of things at the Beeb, someone broke Justin Webb's blog: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/justinwebb/ There's a big red server Error message behind the blog entries, and all the comments have disappeared (it's been like this from at least sometime yesterday)
If you're fast enough pressing your browsers stop button, you can see the full message, stack trace and all. Here are the full details for anyone who knows DNA well enough to fix it: Server Error in '/DNA/DNAPAGES' Application. ------------------------------ *'<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute character.
