Oh, the joys of not having a computer
March 10th, 2005 at 12:07 am in Aussie, ShyzerI officially give up. I haven’t been able to load Shyzer for a few days now on any of the library computers anymore. It will load all the graphics and links to the sub pages on the left hand side, and then lock up and crash the browser. I can get into the MovableType database to load and edit posts, but I just can’t get the damn blog to show up. Color me confused. I can read the comments that have been left so far and have been able to respond to them throught the database, but I’m sick of doing it that way.
With that in mind, it looks like it’s time to let the cat out of the bag and try to see if I can get this baby to load on any of my mate’s computers. Like I said in an earlier post, I intended to keep Shyzer on the DL, thereby allowing me to say anything and everything about whatever I wanted to without having to worry about what people might think. But as I look back over what I’ve posted since I arrived here, there’s not much I’ve written that I wouldn’t want people to read. That being said, you might find that a few paragraphs / posts have pulled a Harry Houdini. Now I expect you all to play along nicely and enjoy the magic show like a good audience would.
I have to say, I’m slightly impressed how I was able to keep Shyzer a secret for 3 and a half weeks. It wasn’t nearly as hard as I initially thought it might be and I doubt I would have had any trouble going the whole 6 months without doing so. Anybody who knows me in real life knows that I talk about Shyzer every seventeen seconds and I was worried that I’d let slip the fact that I run a site during a night of heavy drinking or such. But now that I can talk about it, I guess I can go back to my old habits and bore all those around me with talk of Shyzer!

Impressive show. I, myself, have had to pull a Houdini when I caught wind that certain folks found out about my site. So I can understand it.
… there’s always email!

try eliminating tag-board and use a different company to run that. tag-board is down. i was running it and it wouldn’t load my main page. maybe that will do the trick.

You’ve been gone three and half weeks already? Gosh darn times flies. No one from Angela’s “real life” knows about bb.net. I can count the ones that do on my left hand. I don’t tell people because a.) it’s none of their business, 2.) I’d rather not have them reading all the crap I say about them and c.) I feel gay when I do in fact tell people. “hee hee, i have a website. No, it isn’t about anything but me. Yeah, I do realize I am totally lame.”

Well now that tagboard seems to have fixed their issues, Shyzer will load. I think Mike was onto something there.

Who wants Houdini? Pull a Copperfield and disappear the Statue of Liberty and 3 refugee ships from Mauritania!
