I may have figured out what was causing this blog to not be terribly functional in Internet Explorer, but if any readers could weigh in as to whether that’s still the case, I’d certainly be appreciative. Thanks, folks!

(What I saw when using IE was that the blog would load, but as soon as I would try scrolling down the front page, I’d just get “Out of Memory at Line 32” errors that would prevent the blog from scrolling anywhere, so much as past the masthead image. The moral of the story is, of course, that everybody should use Firefox, but I can’t wait for that to happen, right?)

Can anyone with more tech cred than I offer a hypothesis as to why this blog creates “Out of Memory” errors in Internet Explorer? I’ve updated both Java and Flash to the latest versions, and the errors still come. What’s going on? This doesn’t affect me at home at all since I use Firefox, but still, I’d like IE users to be able to use this blog. What gives? Do I need to once and for all update to a new Blogger template?

I’m testing some stuff out for a moment or two. Bear with….

I don’t have a new Unidentified Earth entry for this week, and I’ve been considering bagging the series as I’m finding it harder to come up with puzzlers that work as puzzlers that aren’t diabolically difficult. In any event, no entry this week. I just didn’t get to it.

Just a quick “check-in” kind of post, since I’m still quite busy and don’t have much time for blogging. My father-in-law has been visiting from Idaho since last Tuesday, and he departs for home tomorrow, so spending time with him has obviously taken precedence over blogging; hence my radio silence here. So my usual weekly features — the Sunday Burst of Weirdness, Unidentified Earth, and Sentential Links — will be on hold until next week. I also need to upload a whole mess of photos to Flickr, which I’ll do later in the week as well. Regular posting should resume tomorrow evening, though. Thanks for checking in!

I’ve got a busy weekend lined up, folks, so new content here will likely be sparse until the middle of next week. I may be able to post something here and there, however; you never know. I’m a puzzle.

UPDATE: Here’s a really sad story about a little girl’s dying wish and a company’s granting of it.

UPDATED below….

Does anyone else have this problem: a blog about which everything grates on your nerves, from the writing to the viewpoints to the pictures posted, and yet you find yourself dutifully visiting that blog every few days just to see what’s going on? It’s as if I’m getting to witness my own personally-staged trainwreck. Anybody else have something like that, or am I totally screwed up?

(And if I am the blogger you keep reading despite your visceral loathing for my blog, well, thanks for dropping by!)

UPDATE: No, the blog that occasioned me to write this post is not on my blogroll, nor do I even remember ever linking it, although I may have done once or twice, a long time ago. So, don’t worry, it’s not you. You’re awesome!

…when the Burst of Weirdness and Unidentified Earth return. I’m giving the staff responsible for those features a three-day weekend.

‘Twas a busy weekend, folks, hence the lack of usual content yesterday. Do check out the short story I posted Saturday, though. It’s the post just below this one.

Regular blogging later on, hopefully.

A couple of readers have hit the tip jar over the last couple of weeks, for which I am grateful. It makes me feel, to paraphrase Lina Lamont, as if my hard work ain’t been in vain for nothing!

Thanks!!!
