Perhaps An End To Radio Silence

A newly installed software “helper” has been nuking comments for two weeks. Lacking the slightest idea what I’m doing I tried to fix it. I got under the hypothetical hood, grabbed a handful of virtual logic, and ripped the offending algorithmic bullshit out through the non-existent tailpipe.

Did it work? I’ve no idea. Please submit a few comments. They don’t have to be thoughtful. I’m going to give it a few hours to test things out. (Actually I have some tractor work that needs doing while the sun is up.) Later I’ll see if comments are in the moderation buffer.

Thanks for being patient.


Update: It’s fixed. Comments are getting to me now. My apologies to everyone who tried to comment and got ignored over the last two weeks; I can’t believe it took that long before I found out. Also, a big thank you to the guy who sent me an email heads up: may the TW you seek find you soon.

    Test, test, 1-2-3, do you copy?

    Hello Hello can you hear me?

    “They don’t have to be thoughtful.” Hahaha! Have you read my previous comments?!? Oh, wait, no, you haven’t cuzza busted technology. Sigh. Here’s hoping you un-borked the situation.

    BTW, I commented a couple of times in your “About” section trying to find an alternate route around the over-eager spam filter. I get the impression you don’t go there very often. 🙂

    This is a test comment. This only a test. Had this been an actual comment I would have included some snarky remark belittling the Gov or something of that nature. This concludes the test comment. Carry on and Stay Frosty.

    I love tearing stuff up & trying to make it work better. Im not always successful.

    Madrocketsci, checking in. Congrats on fixing the comments.

    Your motorcycle camping reports weren’t just piston in the wind.

    Keep writing and I will keep reading either way.

    I’ve not seen a notice that comments were locked, but I’ve posted three or four that never appeared. I just thought maybe you didn’t like motorcyclists, or maybe just curmudgeons (small ‘c’).

      I’m sorry to say they aren’t in a buffer anywhere I can find. I wish I could retroactively approve them, but I never even got to read them. Feel free (and encouraged) to resubmit.

      • Tennessee Budd says:

        Oh, I never give up. I’m….uhhh…”persistent”. I like that word better than others, terms like “creepy”, “stalker”, you know, those sorts of unkind things.

    I am a fan of your motorcycle adventures. They bring back memories of my own desert and mountain rides on my Husqvarna 250.

    I tried to comment a few times, and of course never made it thru. Thought maybe you just didn’t want feedback. Enjoyed the bike adventure logs very much. I would love to do a little of that myself.

    Yay!

      I had to watch “Video Killed The Radio Star” just for the pure joy of it. A dumb little melody but no auto tuner and it’s far more interesting than what’s on FM these days. Then Joan Jett!

      Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was born in a world with two channels of black and white with an antennae that was nuked by my neighbor’s overpowered CB base station but got a tiny taste of the joy of MTV with actual music… then, because life is strange, dropped out of the world with work and poverty for a good solid decade after that taste. I’ve never had cable.

      MTV was fun and it was creative and it was so long ago. Such changes in the world! Decades later I’m blogging mostly in pure text because that’s the best way to paint a picture in the mind. Meanwhile our youth slowly go mad watching propaganda on Tik Tock. People who’ve never heard of MySpace tell me Facebook is forever. Such cycles in life!

      I loved the link! I’m very glad y’all didn’t simply get bored with my motorcycle ride. 🙂
