Back to the future past
Today I'm rehashing how we currently put breaking news online so that on Monday and Tuesday I can fill in for Mike Fuchs, the newsroom's online-news editor, while he takes some well-deserved time off. Obviously we all had hoped to have Publicus up and running by now, but that hasn't happened. So I'm reacclimating myself to the wonderful world of spit, bailing wire, strings, rubber bands, paper clips, duct tape and hamsters-in-exercise-wheels we currently use to post news online, a system I last used more than a year ago.
Lemme tell you, absence has not made the heart grow fonder. And forget the price of gasoline -- have you seen what they're getting these days for hamster chow??

You've got Publicus? The local paper out here uses Publicus.
You might want to check on the Publicus archive search function - for a while local paper was saying theirs was broken because of Publicus. (It's still broken, but now nobody's talking- not them, not Publicus - so who knows where the problem lies, or even if they consider it to be one.)

Ah yes, another IT project down the proverbial rat hole. My sincerest apologies, Lex. Best of luck with the revised milestones. Seriously.

Yeah, well, Rob, if I hadn't insisted to the IT guys that we, like, create some blogs and forums and YourNews and stuff, Publicus probably would've been up and running months ago.
Seriously.
