Please Stand By
The Peter Principle states (in general) that a good employee will eventually be promoted until he reaches a position where he is longer any good at his job. Technology has its own Peter Principle that states that any good technology will eventually be upgraded until it no longer works worth a damn. Or Microsoft buys it, and then breaks it and then raises the price. We have been using Flickr.com to host the photos here and it has been working great all year. So, of course they ‘upgraded’ it so that it doesn’t now. Actually, Yahoo bought them and then broke it. Certain browsers are having issues with the enlarged pictures (”Picture is currently unavailable”). Internet Explorer 7 seems to be okay. Firefox and Safari seem to be having some issues. This will affect only past posts here (which used to work fine). We’ve corrected the problem in future articles by simply stop using Flickr and we are hoping that Flickr will fix the bug so that all are past articles don’t have to be ‘upgraded’. Because that’s how I wanted to spend my winter! Sorry for the inconvenience. We now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.
