Technical Difficulties

A little heads up, guys: my Sunday Drive feature, among other things, may be delayed this weekend - yesterday, in the middle of a video I was watching, YouTube suddenly stopped working. Despite numerous attempts with numerous videos, it's still not working either on YT or here on my blog.

Sometimes after much clicking around I can get one video to play, but then the next one I try won't. Don't know what the deal is, but I am totally pissed.

I keep getting a message to download a beta version of some Web player thing - which is ridiculous, I don't want to fool with some experiemental something that the FAQs say can screw up the rest of your stuff. And my Flash and other usual Windows stuff are all updated already - so being without any young children here to sort it all out, I'm stymied.

Is it just me, or all the rest of the world, too?

WTF: Blog Security Warnings

Okay, surely this can't be just me.  The last 24 hours I've been getting dire Area-51-type pop-up warnings from McAfee SiteAdvisor on some of your blogs, guys.  Yesterday it was when I tried to open the comment box on Sebastian's blog; tonight his is okay, but Frank's blog does the same thing when I try to post a comment, and Gary's whole blog is radioactive, apparently.

Shit.   I loves the Intertubes and all, but things are getting out of hand here.  Let me know if this kind of stuff is happening on my blog.  Not that I have one fucking clue what to do if it is - but I guess it's the kind of thing your friends ought to tell you, like when your fly is open.

Tech Update

Okay, so I've added back the LinkWithin feature. Let me know if this causes a difference in the way the blog loads, fellas.

Note to Readers

Been having some trouble with the Blue Truck the last 24 hours or so, weird error messages and things freezing up, which is why I've deleted nearly all the HTML/Java scripts on this blog, including the LinkWithin feature.  Now, at 3 a.m., everything seems to be running smooth, but I don't know if I fixed the problem or not, and I got other things like my real job, etc., that demand my attention right now.

So just wanted to let you fellas know, if I don't blog for a couple days it's because I had to take the engine apart and got all the parts spread out on the shop floor.  I'd appreciate it if any of you guys would let me know about any particular difficulty you may be having getting the blog to open up.  My email address is on my profile.  Thanks guys.
