Just a heads up for whoever is in charge of that stuff these days. All day it's been slow to load. Everything else here seems ok...  undecided

Good, it's not just me.....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Now that I'm paying attention, it does seem a tad slow.  I'll click a link or type in the url and it'll take anywhere from 1sec to 5sec to do anything.  Not glacial, but certainly slower than normal.  If nobody said anything, I'd think it was my connection, which has been flaky this week for the first time ever.

Working fine for me......

...but then, APS likes me. APS probably doesn't like you guys because you tried to kill me with the Internet.......

APS & THR both have been acting weird this weekend past.  Neither will load up in Opera anymore, just wait eternally for a connection from the server.  Loads up OK in IE (blech) of course.
I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Just a heads up for whoever is in charge of that stuff these days. All day it's been slow to load. Everything else here seems ok...  undecided

That's what happens when people type in all capital letters.  Caps are bigger and get stuck in the network, creating blockages so no letters can get through.   smiley

That reminds me of something I'd managed a quip about in the office that caused someone to choke on their coffee.

They were apparently doing something to the network. A bunch of wires and cables were hanging down out of a ceiling tile, and there were some papers on the floor beneath it. So I said "See what happens when you send too big a print job?"

Which reminds ME of my final exam in computers in HS. FORTRAN D just so you know.  Punchcards. shocked

We had to write a program for our final. My program was designed to list allllll the possible combinations of a 3 combo lock, in order, starting with 0-0-0. Apparently it worked, we were at a college or something and some computer guy was in charge and he ran my cards through the machine. The computer, which filled a good sized room, thought for what was an inordinately long time, compared to the other kid's programs anyways, and then it finally started printing, and printing, and printing. About this time the guy turns to me and says, "What WAS that program anyways?" I tell him, his eyes get real big, his jaw drops, his arms start flailing and off he runs to shut it down.  Guess I was using just a bit too much paper and ink. laugh

Ok, that was pretty damn funny. Smiley

Oh ... I thought you meant the people were acting weird   rolleyes
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
