Blogger Errors (again!)

Blogger is screwing up posts. Until I can fix it some posts are mixed together/screwed up. I’ll get to it soon…

Update: Well, it’s been a while since Blogger did this, so I guess I’m due, but I shouldn’t have to endure these glitches at all. I don’t know why this happens, obviously, or I could avoid it, but it usually mixes up a URL link with the “edit” HTML link in the Blogger editor, mixing up two posts and rendering it impossible to remove or edit. Has anyone else encountered this and/or fixed it? Manually cutting and pasting the offending link in the editor doesn’t work, although I almost managed to trick it with a test post with the “edit” link as part of the post. In the end, every now and then I have to do damage control and just live with the ugly entry. What a pain. I hate to say it, but eventually I think I’ll have to set up my own server and graduate to Movable Type

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I’ve managed to sort of salvage today’s posts, pushing the messed-up entry to the first post of today (a couple below this one). It combined itself with another and doesn’t look too bad, but believe me, it really dicked things up. The link to the Juggling Simulator page does work, although I couldn’t properly credit fiendish is the word because I can’t edit the damn post. Better late than never…

IMDB FAQ

IMDB is the most definitive site on the Internet for movie information, so you’d expect a FAQ associated with IMDB to be pretty good. Although this FAQ is no longer hosted by IMDB itself, it is chock full of interesting movie information and trivia.

UN Food Fight

As I understand it, the United Nations is an organization ostensibly created to foster diplomacy and harmonious relations between the world’s countries. Diplomats at the UN definitely did not set a good example over the weekend, looting cafeterias, restaurants, and bars when food service workers went on strike over lost vacation pay as a result of contract transitions. What a disgusting display…

Composer George Wyle Passed Away

George Wyle died at the age of 87 yesterday. Although perhaps best known as the composer of “The Ballad Of Gilligan’s Island,” most of his work was before my time. Wyle also wrote the Christmas classic “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and more than 400 other songs. Asked about the popularity of his TV theme compared to his other work, Wyle said “America doesn’t want great music themes, just something it can remember.” Looking at things in that perspective, he was definitely an unqualified success.
