If Bossy Curses Up A Storm, But Her Blog Server Is Down—Did She Make A Sound?

I am bossy was not functioning for the majority of yesterday, fouling up her whole Ten-Word Tuesday deal as well as her bacchanalia-by-the-sea updates.

Bossy will make it up to you today by posting several Senior Week updates—and if you don’t mind scrolling a wee bit, Ten-Word Tuesday is still fun, even on a Wednesday.

   Maybe someday, you’ll make the transition to something other than Typepad. Hilly just did (snackiepoo.com) and her blog is indistinguishable from when it was on Typepad.

   I actually got the jitters yesterday after about an hour and a half of trying to get to Bossy’s site and being unable. Does TypePad cover counseling services needed to handle such events?!!

   I got the e-mail too. Of course I don’t know if anyone was prevented from commenting as I don’t get a bazillion comments a day! I hope this is not the TypePad summer of issues.

   Feedburner is having problems too. I am so frustrated w/both typepad and feedburner right now. A lot of feedburner accounts have had their subscribers wiped out to 0 and so of course, none of them get your feed! Intermitently the subscribers show up correctly then disappear again. What a good business practice, let’s reward our most faithful readers by not delivering their feed? Wanted to make you aware …. I’m not the only one having this feedburner issue – their help forum is full of complaints!

    I was getting all excited about Senior Week until I realized it’s the “other” Senior Week. The one Bossy’s son is celebrating.

    Have had no problems with Typepad until May 27th. I won’t fill up your comments with piratey noises but AARRGGHH okay maybe just a little and I’ve heard that people are happy at Wordpress AAARRRRRRR — oops, slipped out — but the thought of switching about 500 posts and 2 1/2 years of work is DAUNTING.

    AAARRRGGGHHHH!

    sorry about the piratey noises, rant off

    These are issues we never would have had to worry about like 20 years ago, these malfunctioning servers and feedburners and whatnot. Funny how ouar lives have changed. Funny, too, how I sound like someone’s grandma when I say that!

    Did anyone see Good Eats last night on Food Network?

    Alton Brown used Barbie dolls to act out part of the show. My first thought was, he must read Bossy!

    Our site meter was down yesterday. I can understand the frustration — do they not know there is no medication for this crack addiction we call blogging?!!

    I had a brilliant ten-word comment for yesterday, but forgot it by the time you came back up.

    Oh! Oh! I remember now.

    Yes, I kept trying to visit and it would just hang and hang. I’ve been meaning to comment for some time that your blog is looking like a million bucks-and your cute kids’ mugs don’t hurt things one bit. Congrats on all your proud mom moments. I hope the tomatoes are hanging in.

    OK. Evidently I’m the only mutant in the universe who absolutely CRACKED UP LAUGHING at the title of this alone. It reminds me of the DEAR RESTROOM ARCHITECT one that had me in the floor before reading anything else.

    Problems? Great. That means my comments didn’t really disappear and then magically appear twice, who the heck cares.

    All I know is Bossy’s titles can be damn funny. Regardless of what follows.

    Oh dear. I plan to switch my blog over to Typepad as step two in my Empire Expansion Plan. Just part of the whole world domination thing I’ve got cooking.

    Shoot. Does it always suck? Or just sometimes – like America’s Next Top Model?

    Add in a crashed photo site and what does a blogger do? Go get ice cream. Check computer. Go to beach with no internet reception and call it a day well spent.
