The Devil Is In The Details

Technical difficulties of a sort are kicking my ass this afternoon. Possible a sign that I should be attending to neglected chores instead of blogging, but until the Clue Fairy hits me over the head with his wand, tough noogies.
One oddity today... I was trying to comment on a blogspot blog and got the tidy little message "The blog you were looking for was not found." Not once, but three times. Considering I got to this FROM the blog they claim not to find, I suggested loudly that if it were up their ass eating a ham sandwich, they'd know where it was. (This is the standard response around here if you ask the location of something... as is "time to get a watch" if you inquire of the time. We're a helpful lot.)
Okay, fine. Blogspot's got the rag on, I can deal with this.
Next I went to visit some LiveJournal folks.... who kept telling me the document contained no data. Fine. Be that way. Keep your stinky old data, I don't NEED your data. I got plenty data of my own. *sniffle* Data hogs.
This put me in the spirit of avoiding chores further improving my own little blog, so I set about reinstalling Sitemeter on The Cheese, since a while back I'd removed it in a fit of Bloody goddamn hell it won't LOAD, what's holding it up? Oh... you again. *rip rip rip* But somewhere down the line, Sitemeter has declared a jihad on me and declares "The connection was refused." Fine.

So technical improvements will have to wait until the digital planets align or whatever the hell needs to happen. Maybe I can spend the time constructively anyway, like learning all the little bits of Movable Type that I never bothered to learn.... like what happens if I click on thi

What's funny is I used to be a bit of a tech geek, I knew HTML, programmed, etc... Now, as far as my blog goes, I do NOTHING. I got a free redesign, otherwise I would still have a standard Blogger template and my wife hooks me up on Haloscan and all that stuff. Just been to lazy to worry about it...

Hope your tech issues get resolved

I hear ya! I tried to comment on my own friggin' blog and blogspot couldn't find it. It was MY blog and I couldn't comment.

I do think they have their bugs worked out, though.
