If you are reading this, lucky you! I couldn’t access the blog for days and couldn’t figure out why, and about 7642 of you emailed to inform me of same. I finally got a wild hair and updated my version of Firefox, and blam! Fixed! I still don’t know what the fuck it was. The internet. Can’t live with it, can’t shoot it.
Meanwhile, please stand by for a trenchant post on something or other. It might not even be a home movie about insects.
End transmission.

Thank fucking god!
Freekin’ Firefox.
I upgraded last week.
Now my Adblock doesn’t work.
Huh. I’m still using the last version of Firefox (can’t upgrade until one of the plug-ins I use is updated). Your blog was kerplowie for me, too (wanted me to download it whenever I tried to view the main page or one of the posts). Even without upgrading Firefox, it’s now working fine.
Damned interwebs.
Damn! I didn’t realize this! Why doesn’t shit just work?
That is the question, isn’t it?
It’s all a capitalist plot.
Well, you can shoot the internet, but I wouldn’t recommend it; it just makes it mad.
It was that damned centipede and you know it. Scared the dribbles out of Firefox, it did.
“Why doesn’t shit just work?”
Whenever anything technological doesn’t work I definitely blame the patriarchy.
It is my considered opinion as a computer scientist that most software upgrades are just poorly planned excuses to stick it to the little people while fixing what isn’t broken and thus breaking what is relied upon — all in the name of capitalism and respect for authority, of course.
Glad you are back and thus we are too.
My brother’s car engine was on fire once while I had the misfortune of being in it with him and about 7000 people slowed down and told us our car was on fire.
Well, we can thank heavens it was only the internet and not an Airbus. Airbus fly-by-wire fubars are usually not-updateable for the passengers.
BDL, your personal Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes of prime time? I think I might have been one of the 7,000 folks.
It sure is a relief to have IBtP back.
BDL, where are those 7,000 people when you have spinach stuck in your teeth, or TP stuck to your shoe? Or unzipped zippers, or nose fug? It’s all about the schadenfreude until you burst into flames.
BDL- Did you ask them how they knew you were on fire?
BDL, the same thing happened when the people across the street’s porch caught fire. Well, it didn’t so much catch fire as it was set on fire. Mr. People Across the Street foolishly tried to burn out a spider nest under it.
