The past few days Tangler has been really reaallllyyy slow for me, now it won't even load in Firefox within 10 minutes. Right now I'm using Crhome which seems to be working flawlessly. Am I going to have to update the case study, or is it just me?

It's been freezing on ff2 the last few nights.. really late at night for a few mins at a time then goes back to normal.

*hate chrome* so no comparison... and I refuse to use any of the other 3 browsers on my pc

We... we need..... Dek? 
 

No... I think they're probably aware of minor problems associated with the downtime the other night. There are always gonna be minor bugs to fix. Shouldn't take too long to go back to normal, or just clear the cache and see how that goes for you.

I have 

I just wanted to see if she knew anything about it/ how to fix it.

I think this calls for:

(if it could just get one more use!!)

LOL!!

C'mon.. I think even dek would agree that the best way to make anything electronic to work is to hit it

It's sad!!!

That happens to iPods very frequently, though....

Plus, the devil dude creeps me out /

He's cute!!

AND he's wearing All-Stars 

Sure, today he is. But how will you care for him when he takes over his father's responsibilities? HUH?

Plus, he sheds like crazy!

He sheds? Huh?

Yay! It be fix-ed!

Now we must go back to solving 'phonecall'... and you're looking pretty lazy already...

Huh.. phonecall? be right there!

lol...

C'mon.. I think even dek would agree that the best way to make anything electronic to work is to hit it

Just be sure not to let the magic blue smoke out.

hehehe 

Yesh me dearies... I've been on this...

Turns out, for once, it wasn't a Tangler issue, but a Google analytics one. Seems to be fixed for now, but the devs and I are monitoring it

And for future reference, Synth and everyone, feel free to mail me - rai@tangler.com, or dekrazee1@tangler.com - if you notice anything off. Anything at all. I'd really appreciate it. When things like this happen, I can't get in to see your comments either.

Thanks!

Hmm.. yeah I noticed that actually... every time it took a while it was because of the google ads... dammit who do they think they are!!! we're more popular than facebook, you know 

(and I've been getting the same problem with my ISP's home page grrrrrrRRRRRRRR. seems anything with a google embed is freezing up

LOL @ that bit abt Facebook! hahaha Love it

Here's a hack I found on a blog:

Anyone who uses FireFox: get the AdBlockerPro program.
Add the pagead2.googlesyndication.com to the filter.

Well it's true!!! Ok, so what if they have like a trillion users or something... obviously its not that interesting if they can't hang around for more than 9.5 hours/month!!

Now all we need to do is convince all of them to come hang out here

I've also been noticing that YouTube (remember, owned by Google) isn't admitting any new High Quality videos... Are we looking at a Google error now? I heard awhile back that YouTube was loosing monies for Google (resulting in an ad EVERY FREAKING 200 PIXELS), but I didn't ever think their servers would be in the red zone for topping out!

...And happy Black Friday everyone. I've been having a very bad day for many more reasons than worldwide stocks dropping collectively several dozen thousand points...

Horrible time to get a lisence.

What kinda license?

And what else went wrong with your day?

Driving

Got bad marks on tests I thought were very easy...

aww..

don't worry.....there's always next time..

Black friday?? Sorry, but I think the 13th is a monday.. (well at least here it is)

The next black friday falls in feb 2009

black friday is not the 13th

I heard on international news that Australians were calling it black friday because of the worldwide market drops...?

that makes sense.....that's usually what a black day is..

I am curious as to what Morgan is speaking of, though...

i thought black friday was the day after thanksgiving?

Ahh, true, true. Shopping heaven/hell.

yes, bluek......you are also correct.

I'm surprised that nobody has heard of Friday the 13th being referred to as black friday

I thought it was common knowledge.

Yeh Morgan, that's what Black Friday is to me too.

I'd never  known about the day after thanksgiving! I thought they would have given it a more cheery name...

Till now, black monday was the term referred to for stockmarkets.... wait till we see what happens tomorrow!

What would a stock market crash rivaling the Great Depression do in modern times? No or very little and very pricey travel and communication, for one...

We've got communication covered, thanks to the interwebs...

Travel is one I've been thinking of.

Food is another. Prices are already going up here

yeah 

When I left, chicken wings were $1.99/kg. Last night, they were 3.50/kg

that's obscene.

In what dollars, US?

I don't know of very many other countries that use dollars also... Or maybe you translated it to US currency for us? Why not the units of mass? I'm sure bluegirl has no clue what you mean when you say kilograms

well, there's the australian dollar...  also, it's not hard to see that's a 75% increase in price, no matter what units you're using

Yea... fucking crazy inflation...

dam...synth...do you think i'm an idiot?

So long as the staples don't go up we should be fine.Rice is always cheap.

Heh. At first I had to repress the urge to ask you what an office supplies store or an office supply has to do with rice...

Rice stapled together to make super-rice!
Now with 65% more iron!

@blueg: I was kidding.....

Sycho Synth... that's what I'm gonna call you now

'Tis a bit long, don't you think?

Fine. Sycho it is then!

lol....

I;m just gonna call him Sy

i'm just gonna call him......

*humpf*

Why is that the only (ever-so-slightly) angry smiley?

I do hate it when people nickname me irl, though...

I STILL love that!!!

O, btw, what are you calling me, blug? I don't see no whitetext, and I can't think of anything crafty, unless you were betting on me posting next...?

hey......

what is you wanted to know?

OMG!! they're in sync!!!!

So they are!!!

Wahahahaah! Love it!

I don't know of very many other countries that use dollars also

Tons of countries call their currency dollars... it just has a different nationality stuck on the front.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar big navbox at the bottom includes a list of all the countries using dollars.

I know there are a lot, I just didn't know that many.
