Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

my stupid life
« on: June 02, 2004, 04:00:16 am »
My life is stupid.  Maybe someone, some kind soul, can help me with one aspect of my stupid, stupid life.

See, on May 7, I visited several web pages.  A few here, a few there, you know.  Achewood, was, of course, one of them, as was slate, and pitchfork, imdb and a few others.  Since then, on several of those websites, when I visit them again, THEY ARE STUCK ON MAY 7!!!  It is absolutely maddening!  With slate, achewood, and pitchfork, by slightly altering the usual url I would use, I can get the current updates.  But on several others, IT IS STILL STUCK!  It only happens with those websites I was visiting on, or around, May 7.  Any ideas?  A virus or worm or whatever?

Man - you have no idea!  I seriously was going insane for a couple of days.  I really thought that either I was dreaming, hallucinating, or part of some world wide web conspiracy.  It didn't help that I was in the process of quitting my "meds," so I was already totally out of it.

IE definitely likes to misbehave when the Temporary Internet Files gets full so that's probably the best bet. Plus you'll clear out a bunch of nasty old cookies in the process.

Done, done and done.

Refresh was the first thing I did, plus the cache/temporary internet files have been cleared numerous times, and I have been deleting the history folder vigilantly.

As well you should.  I would additionally recommend that you get a better browser and only use IE as a backup.


Firefox Setup for Windows
Firefox Extensions List  Get AdBlock, ImageZoomer, and IEView and you will be set for life.

Who's your ISP? Do you have any of those dial-up accelerators? Have you tried a hard refresh (I believe it's ctrl+F5 in IE)

Edit: Don't forget the Tabbrowser Extension. It's what makes the web worth browsing.

Earthlink.  It's free for a few more months, then I'll probably get a high speed connection of some sort.  And I do use the earthlink accelerator.  I tried the ctrl+F5, and it did appear to refresh but it didn't change anything.
