Just fiddling with my feed vs. bloglines. Nothing to see here. These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Move along.
Joker's Last Laugh
Did you anticipate the big plot twist of Batman: Arkham City? Here's all the ways the game hid that secret from you while also rubbing your nose in it.
Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
Game at the Bottom
Why spend millions on visuals that are just a distraction from the REAL game of hotbar-watching?
Dear Hollywood: Do a Mash Reboot
Since we're rebooting everything, MASH will probably come up eventually. Here are some casting suggestions.
If this is meant to test the Bloglines hotlinking issue, I’m still seeing the blinking monstrosity. Which is strange, because before today, I don’t remember ever seeing that hotlink image before (come to think of it, I don’t think most images show up on Bloglines – perhaps for the reason you mentioned earlier).
In any case, one simple problem with hotlink protection that always drove me nuts was that you have to have a separate entry for a URL that starts with “www” and one that doesn’t (i.e. http://bloglines.com and http://www.bloglines.com)… Though, again, those weird image directory issues you mentioned earlier seem to indicate something a little more complex is going on…
Thanks. What is annoying me now is that I can’t see what you’re seeing: Bloglines isn’t listing this post yet for me. I wonder who is caching stuff beteen me and bloglines? Arg.
If it’s of any use – only the last of those 3 images showed up in safari, all other images, in this and other articles in the RSS feed, aren’t loaded.
Interesting. You mean the real images, or the hotlink abomination?
Ah at last! Bloglines finally woke up (or whatever was wrong) and is now indexing this post.
I see that of these three images, the third displays in Bloglines. Of course, that one has the full path so it had better work. However, if someday I went nuts and changed the directory name for this site, those images would all break, where as the other ones would work no matter where I put my blog.
I just want things to work gracefully. ARG!
Also: The hotlink demon is no longer showing up in bloglines, so I assume THAT is fixed. Broken image tags are tolerable, but my feed is useless if it’s going to blast visitors with that thing when they use it.
I’m not seeing anything blinking, shedding or dancing. Oh wait, I do see people dancing. So I at least have some inkling of what’s going on. A small inkling. Very small. Call it none.
Oh well. Back to things I understand. These pizza rolls aren’t going to eat themselves, you know.
It’s working, Sweetheart. Good job. :)
Your wife is sooo shmoozy lol
