Oh Goodie

Aaaaah.

Nothing is finer than coming home from vacation and finding that your blog has systematically gotten rid of every image you uploaded to it during your absence.  

Corrections are being corrected.  Good to be back, though.  More to come.

    Thought that a big box bookstore hacked your site.
    Wink, wink, wink. The whole SLJ blog was down, not just the Fuse. I do have problems every so often logging on. Maybe you are so popular that the server needs an upgrade to handle the throngs of devotees tuning in.

    The entire website was down for a while last night (trying to submit a review-finally did around 9:30).

    How about finding that your blog has systematically excluded you, its creator? That’s what mine has done.

    I think there’s a moral lesson in there somewhere.

    A metaphor at the very least. Yes, mine did the same thing while I was away. I convinced myself that the Canadian IP address falsely represented me as a Canuck infiltrator bent on such nefarious crimes as spelling the word “favorite” with an extra “u” and that that was why it wouldn’t let me log-in. But when the same thing happened here in the States, my ire was raised. A blog that doesn’t know its own mother? Such an ungrateful child.

    Side note: could not believe I stumbled across The Noisy Counting Book in our prof. collection – had just assumed it was too elusive to be on the shelves. You are right. Huge hit. Saying Ga-dunk is the best ever. Cheers.
