Goddamn Blogger Again
Warning: tech-rant ahead. Non blogexplosion geekusers might skip to this friendly Halloween post, or perhaps something about teen voting?
Since blogexplosion is a traffic exchange system, the vast majority of visitors don't even read the vast majority of the blogs they visit. It must be true, because most blogexplosion readers have posted something to that effect within the last few days, and who would know better? (Of course, we're all claiming it's not us, but everyone else...but seriously, folks, how many knitting blogs do you stick around to read?)
Which leaves comments as the only surefire way of knowing if folks are stopping by. (Again, this isn't news; other blogexplosion users are posting this same stuff -- it's practically a...um...blogexplosion, I guess.)
Which is a problem if you use blogger. Because despite the silliness of it all, blogger irrationally continues to insist that non-anonymous commenting requires a login.
And trying to log in to your blogger account within the blogexplosion frame seems to have one of two equally undesirable effects: either it crashes the blogexplosion window, or it merely doesn't accept the login.
Which means I'm not getting any comments, and hardly leaving any, either.
Sure, maybe it's just that no one loves me. But I suspect living in the school LAN is killing my participation in yet another addicting tool-slash-community (which would be good and bad, I guess)...or blogger just sucks.
And given the history, I'm betting on the latter. I'm almost wishing I hadn't gotten rid of the enetation comments. Haloscan, anyone?

Funnily enough you came up on my blogexplosion surf today. I can post. I think the problem is it won't let you use the back button to get back to the root site.... Poo. ~jo counting sheep

Does anyone out there love Blogger???? *insert sounds of crickets chirping* Eric J. said it best when he said: "BITE ME BLOGGER!"
Yes, Anne...but it's not FREE. I'm a broke little teacher; free counts. Plus, my concern isn't really where the thing is served (typepad); it's the design tool and the way you access it (in that comparable case, MT). I DO verymuch prefer MT design and options. What i've been wondering about today: can one put an MT blog on the blogger server? Because that would solve EVERYTHING.

Haloscan! re MT&Blogger-- you can upload by ftp sites to blogspot, but not sure if you have to pay

I hate quotations. Tell me what you know. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
And you know, when you study the semiotics of Through the Looking Glass or watch every episode of Star Trek, you've got to make it pay off, so you throw a lot of study references into whatever you do later in life. - Matt Groening
She wrote secret web pages with gentle empty spaces where the universe could creep in and rest when it got overwhelmed. - Robin Williams
Cable news networks...often act as if the best way to present information is to serve the viewer two opposing advocates battling it out. But in many instances, this ends up confusing rather than illuminating. Not every fact is debatable, not every opinion equal -- or worth equal time. - David Corn
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur C. Clarke
This "telephone" has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no use to us. - Western Union internal memo, 1876
The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular? - David Sarnoff's associates, in response to his urging for investment in radio, 1920s
Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons. - Popular Mechanics, 1949
There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home. - Ken Olson, President and founder of Digital, 1977

Subject: HIGH TECHNIQUE ELECTRICAL HOME APPLIANCES---COMPUTERIZE GAS KITCHEN
Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2002 08:53:27 +0000 (UTC)
From: "MRS WANG"
Organization: FUJIAN HUALI TECHNOLOGY CREATING CO,LTD
Do you like to comprehend a computer housemaid ? Do you like to own a blue soldier ? Today , SHIELD gives you the answer .
SHIELD is a computerize gas kitchen which is controlled automatically and intelligently. It is a world wide invention , is a new generation of the gas kitchen..
What is the benefits that SHIELD brings to us ? Firstly , it will relieve you out of the kitchen ,you shouldn't be in when you cook the food .Second ,it solved the problem that the food would be burned ,the soup be out and the gas be leaked .And it will make your family safer and healthier.
Do you want to understand much more merits about SHIELD? Please see the followings:
1. amounts and the kinds of food (boiling water, porridge, rice , soup ,fish ,meat ,medicine), SHIELD will regulate the temperature and time to cook automatically ,and the soap won't be out ,the food won't be burned .It will turn off the electric and gas source by itself ,and tell you by springing out the music .
2. when needing and you can set five times to light fire .
3. ,it will send out a big fire ,and when the temperature reached 100 ,it would change the flame .If the temperature is below 100 ,it will turn to be a big fire ,and keep the flame blue .The containing of CO is less than 0.04% of total .(standard :less than 0.05%) . And then it reduced the pollute .
4. B"CAutomatically limit the time of offering gas :It is 30 minutes that offering the gas. When cooking ,it won't be out whenever it is blew or watered .Because when the fire is out , it will light automatically. When the gas leaked ,the density reached up a level or the temperature of the platform is over 80 ,SHIELD will warn you and turn off the electric and gas source .
5. need ,it can set the temperature and heat the food by itself .
6. according to the container .
7. 70.51%(standard :higher than 55%).Comparing to the common gas kitchen ,it can save more than 40%source of total .
8. natural gas and marsh gas to cook , also can use many kinds of pans, such as iron pan ,aluminum pan and high pressured pan. SHIELD computerize gas kitchen is a housemaid , is a soldier .Is there anything more important than the safety and health of your family ?
Let us share more happy in our lives .Not to bore for the burned food, not to be sad for no time for cooking .For you love your family ,please begin with SHIELD .Possessing SHIELD is possessing love .
