AahahAAA! #11

So it was a problem! I got my "Next 10" back at the bottom now (meaning that the javascript hole has been relegated to offpage obscurity) and suddenly I can use Netscape Communicator to login to my private page again!

I still can't go back beyond today and edit or delete anything. Not that I'm disposed to do so, anyways. It's just that now I'm constrained to remain an idiot-savant of the moment blogwise.

Hey, does anyone want me to post the code so that they can try it on their page??!!

Forget it!! I love you all too much.
Except those of you I hate--and
I have no idea who you are--
(O yes I do--not really--but I pretend I don't for your sake).
But if you think it's you, you're wrong.
(If you're thinking at all, for that matter, go get a beer.)
And if you're sure it's not you, you're strong!
Now here come the Xanga bots--I must lay low--
So near I hear their pitter-patter
and their squeaking, cleanly
fixing everything I broke.

Well, this is #10 and so very critical in my determination about how to go about in continuing to troubleshoot by blog.  Yes, Xanga seems impaired, but is it merely a coincidence that this occurred at the very moment of my javascript experiment??!!

What I believe is required is a statistical procedure called ANOVA (for Analysis of Variance) to determine what part of the malaise my blog is experiencing is due to Xanga's overall impedance and what part to my javascript vortex.  I need to see the Main Effects!  Now!

silly useless fact: I once sat atop the Garfield Monument (Lakeview Cemetary) and partied with a six-pack and other accouterments.

Here goes...

ms_chif4u is claiming this is a conspiracy!  Indeed, it may be, but I'm not a profiteer of such arrangements.  Cry havoc, I say, and let loose the dogs of war.  I'm a technician on a mission.  The javascript black hole is nearly at the bottom of my private page since this is #9.

Hau bu hau, ni ne?

Another nothing about no one: during the summer, my heartbeat can slow to about 42 beats a minute.

#8   This is taking too much time! 

hrm..I once won a photography contest when, limited to 2 photos per person, a photographer friend allowed me to submit two of his photos in addition to the two he submitted.  Of course, he thought that he would win and I might get 3rd or 4th prize.  But I won and he was miffed that he had the talent to win, but not the judgement to determine the top one picked.  So, instead of him, I got the newspaper write-up, photo and all.

 #7   I feel kind of like StandsWithaFist in numbering my posts consecutively here.  I do miss that dear girl, she was so sweet...but needed to escape a self-confessed addiction to blogging.

more useless facts:  I once psychically witnessed the death of two popes, the paralysis of a mid-eastern head of state, and the mysterious death of a Central American charismatic leader.  Now do me a favor and laugh !!  Then forget that I ever even mentioned this.

Well, at least IExplorer is providing me this publishing functionality.

Ok, so as not to bore anyone or everyone...or perhaps, to bore everyone more...

A useless fact about me: I speak Chinese. Kinda used to.  Read it, too (that's more fun!)

Back to technisms--this is push-the-blackhole-script-overboard post #6

Ok..here goes the 5th post...only 5 more after this to push that javascript black hole off my page and see if this blog lightens up.

Theory is once it goes to the "Next 10", the call to the javascript will no longer be made when logging in to my private home...

I am going to resist the impulse to blame myself.

Yes, my previous private access to all my entries except the last few is gone.

Yes, this commenced after a little experiment with code on a private post.

Yes, Xanga has been entirely sluggish since.

Yes, Netscape is now useless for me for logging in.

It looks like I'll have to contact the Xangods for assistance.  Now I'll find out if they are benefcient deities or filled with fury....

O this REALLY sucks!

I can't even use Netscape to access my private page.  Only Internet Explorer can see it now--and yes, I've cleared the caches and lowered my firewalls.  And it takes about 15 trys to get a New Weblog entry box to appear.

Is this malaise just affecting me or others, too?

All started around 11 AM just after I tried to enhance a post with some javascript--OH, no, no!  But how did I know?

At least the post was initially "private" and so didn't impact my public persona.

But has it impacted Xanga's servers more generally--or only me???

Time to push out another post...

Sorry, peeps, this blog is going to get mildly technical while I attempt to push some offending code onto the "Next 10" (which I cannot now even see!).  So I have to generate at least ten posts to see if pushing the code down liberates my blog.

Did this blog commit suicide???

I can no longer edit my previous posts!

They are available to public view, but no private access is allowed anymore.  So this is my "first" post as I see if from my private page.  Hey, maybe I get to start all over again...

...or maybe I post this and it doesn't post???

...or maybe I post this and it goes public but I can't edit or delete it!!!

Soon to see...
