Blogspot having issues

HA!!....so it wasn't me after all
My tech-geek ego is now restored ( I really didn't think it was me anyhow... really )

No information....but a few people sitting around trying to figure out what's up click here for a thread on that at bloggerforum.

I didn't see any mention of the exact problem but after trying to view blogs several different running threw proxy servers and IP backdoors thinking it was my IP blocking the sites ( this happens sometimes during server glitches ... or tech foobars ) I decided to run a ping and trcrt and found that the IP address that is used by all blogger subdomains was ok but the subdomains were not resolving. ( yourblog.blogspot.com ...subdomain . ..rather than blogspot.com/thisafter .. base domain first)

Thus status.blogger.com couldn't even be checked. Subdomain again rather than a strait blogger.com/status URL ... hummm.. me thinks this was an oversight. I've had this problem on with my domain hosts as well in the past thus avoid using subdomains in some critical instances.

It looks like whatever it was is fixed now though

Updated Firefox today just to find out that the spellchecker I use with it now doesn't work with the new version...bastiges. And blogspot doesn't work well with opera.. my other browser of choice when posting. So I am stuck using the blogger speelz checks. Which so does not understand my verbal jazz... It's not even funny.

So... how many of you were cussing your monitors out today *grinz*

Aye... and.. the ride didn't happen today... freaking weather blew in way early... rain..sleet and 50mph+ winds... Savage said.. go for a ride?..screw that
maybe tomorrow.

Red line Jury

Prior post broken... how the hell do you break a post ?

Savage did it.. nevermind

will fix it later.. it will be back

Today looks like a decent day...suppose to be rainy in the evening (( I'll still be burning more stuff though tomorrow night.... it's got to go )) ..but is suppose to hit 46 deg F ... daytime roads are suppose to be dry in the valley.

I think this kid's gunna go tap dance on a red line... blur that yellow line... shoot for the flat line... draw the blood line...
for a brief time

go warm the tires up..before I lite the fires up... and entertain the jury


I hope everyone enjoys there weekend

Gopher it... ..gopher it !!



Use the controls in the grey player box to play the audio ... may not work in the latest version of Firefox 1.5.0.1


Any old Caddyshack fans out there?

Links




This is what savage does on coffee breaks, tries out new web page goodies. Todays is testing a single play and single track flash MP3 player for another project I'm on.
Yea.. if you don't hear anything within a few second.. there IS something wrong with your speakers !!!
Or.. maybe there not on ? (Strike that, player is no longer auto on load, use the controls to start the audio clip now)


What you need is a headset with microphone, like mine ... so we can have..
Skype sex ... yumm.. phone for nerds... eh
Come sit on my interface and play with my hard drive while I ping your ports and format your floppies my pretty little pentium. * licks eyebrows *

"ehem"... anyhow
You might be wondering why I don't just use a standard embedded media player like you see most places. Well, that would be so people don't have to have the quicktime or realmedia "plugins" .. or what have you, in order to listen. Basically any old browser will work with nothing extra needed. Flash is cool that way.
I don't like this one though, the MP3 streamer/player, ( player controls at bottom of post ) because it doesn't work with or have the option of autoplay=false. I can't take apart the source fl/swf file and adding the directive to the embed line doesn't do anything ( didn't think it would actually ).
I'll find something that has to be started rather than stopped and replace this one... or, quit being lazy and make my own. maybe flash client with php back.(strike as noted above)


( something.. anything.. gawd it's fucking killing me.. I have to hear it all over again every time I refresh the page...and that fucking gopher.. what was I thinking.. the nightmares I'll have for the next week ....*twitches and closes eyes...fades*.... oh... the pretty pretty nightmares.. )

So it doesn't drive y'all nutso every time you visit....but.. for now..umm ok.. the sadist in me says it's ok to drive you a little nuts for now. It plays out on it's own and ends at about 32 second as it's only te begining of the song. ( full song now loaded, without movie trailer begining)
If you don't remember Caddyshack .. am sure you know " Kenny Loggins ".
Right?.. yea... I thought so... another 80's throwback huh.... you... not Kenny
*grinz*

In any case once I either find what I want or can modify to what I want or put something together myself...get it sorted somehow to my personal felicitousness level. Maybe I'll set up some audio clips of "me".
Maybe even sing !! .. everyone needs barking dogs and a little shattering glass in there lives.... yes?

Now keep in mind I do admit that without spell check I would be in deep crapola out here, even with it I am sometimes.
But this was still kinda funny ( to me anyhow )

I'm leaving the grocery store the other night, the change booth attendant and the checker who checked me had been trying to figure out a word in a crossword puzzle. In fact I had to wait for 3 minuets before she realized someone was standing there waiting on her.
She apologies and explains that they are stuck on this word and it's just driving them nuts for half an hour and that she didn't even see me there.
She rings me up..I pay..then ask.. so..what letters ?

She tells me that it's just 5 letters and that they have most of the other words figured out already

the five letters were

edncu

I solved the word for them... I got very chin down stares of embarrassment when the irony hit them.. I was nice and just smiled and acted like I didn't even notice the humor

do you know the word ?

Savage
