| Tech note... |
| 2008-06-27 |
| I've been pretty scarce on line or in email lately. Comcast has managed to hose my internet connection so badly it's not there at all. That's why the bloid hasn't been appearing: I can't compose it, and if I could there wouldn't be any way to upload it. I've been staying after work to put articles into the hopper. The broken line has also put me at least a week behind on the new server, which I expect to go up after my connection is fixed or I've switched to DSL and it's running reliably. I know there are going to be bugs crawling out during the server swap, and if I can't fix them we're all pregnant. I do apologize for the inconvenience. |

| #16 Ferd - sorry you're having trouble. You're a saint to do what you do. Please NEVER apologize to us - everything you do is a gift beyond measure. Hope Concast quits *ffing with you soon. |

| #14 To be fair, my time spent with Qwest DSL tech support was extraordinary. After two days of chasing around a problem with local techs, the phone call of four hours resulted in a functioning intertube. . |

| #10 MM - In FF: Once the article is sent, hit stop, backpage twice and reload and you'll see your article on the page where you posted. Kinda lame, but it's the best I've |

| #9 Mizzou, I just tried it. Problem isn't that its working, but that the page doesn't realize it's done. I'll try and fix it over the weekend, assuming I have a connection. |

| #7 Fred, Not a big deal, but on a tech note, I'm not able to submit articles to Rantburg using Firefox, only MSN. Can you look into it when you have time? |

| #6 Pakistan is quickly falling apart. Cripes, the savages burned the country's only ski resort today! This makes them irredeemable in my opinion. Call OP! Release the B-52's! |

| #4 Fred, just a note: There's stuff going on in Peshawar. The Khyber Pass is supposed to be on the NATO resupply route. The Taliban and their militants have been swarming into the area. Gunship helicopters are in the area and are said to be on highest alert standby. Just thought you'd like to know. Good luck with the tech stuff! |

| #3 No worries, the rest of the mods and the regulars can cover. How about an EVDO card for your laptop? |

| #2 I liked Verizon DSL when I had it. Nice and reliable. Only problem was that if there was an issue, you couldn't get ahold of them. That was when I had my temper tantrum and dropped them. You can't get ahold of the phone company by telephone. Go figure. |

| #1 No worries Fred! I dropped Comcast for crappy service and increasing rates. |
