Who wants some site news?
- Tomorrow will be the 1400th not-post here.
- I've successfully upgraded to Google Drive (the home for Google Docs) without breaking anything.
- Posters are encouraged to use Google's new Comments feature and leave notes directly on the spreadsheet. Just right-click on a cell and select "Insert comment". View existing comments by hovering over the cells with markings in the corner. It's a quicker, easier way to say "missed the crossing of 69a/42d", or to add a meta solving time! Traditional Blogger comments are of course still welcome. [[UPDATE: There are "comments" -- not visible on the embedded spreadsheet -- and "notes", which are like footnotes and which you can see above. I think I prefer "comments"...?]]
- Still no revamped FAQ.

Last night I attended the Pleasantville Crossword Tournament at the Westchester Table Tennis Center, featuring next Monday-Thursday's NYT puzzles (which I solved on the judges' table before helping to judge). Our own Glen Ryan was the fastest on all three qualifying puzzles, beating out usual suspects Jeffrey Schwartz, Elaine Lippman, Ken Stern, et al. Glen was fastest on the playoff puzzle, but couldn't untangle a wrong letter, which allowed Tom Weisswange to take the title by finishing cleanly. (Jeffrey finished third with a different wrong letter.) As usual, it's great fun to see fellow puzzlers, and to hang out at Will Shortz's house afterwards.
