It seems that Microsoft have broken some MSDN links to blogs.
For example, on the front page of MSDN dev center for Desktop, Desktop Apps[^], is a Recommended link to Software Architecture[^].
Following that gives a nice "Object Moved" page, with "This document may be found here." Where "here" is a link to the following page[^].
Sadly, it all breaks down there - automatic redirection is not working, and there is no link to the actual requested blog anywhere. Over the last week, I've seen 10 or so similar broken links to blogs.
Edit: I guess this is part of MS's "Documentation Improvement Project" I've been reading about all over the Web this week. Of course, all I can say so far is that my opinion is that it's DIP-sh*t.
(I'll fetch my coat).

There's no link because it hasn't been allocated an address yet. That's what 'scheduled' means.

God, it was already bad enough. Please don't tell me that they're "fixing" it the way they've been "fixing" everything else.

OK, now I've got images in my head that I really don't want there.

So "The Big One" refers to earth quakes?
For years I thought it was an anatomical reference spoken of at bridal showers and that it would
be better mentioned in the Soapbox.

He didn't say "The Big One", he said, "the big one". What happened to the typographical selectivity you were demonstrating yesterday?

Experts have been predicting that a giant earthquake has been due for years.
I can't remember if it was the 60s or 70s but people were selling ocean front property in Arizona.

If you're going to sweat west coast earthquakes, the San Andreas isn't what you need to be worrying about. When it rips the Cascadia Fault[^] has the potential to deliver a 9.x earthquake and tsunami to the far less prepared regions of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
