I can’t beleive it. the word “p y t h o n” causes me to not be able to publish. First it was the joke. Then I had the same problem with me bitching about not being able to post the joke. What the heck is that all about? Is it just me?
I can use python
as long as it is the last word in a line. But I cannot type the word python and another word with a plain space between them. I have to seperate the words with & n b s p ;. Good thing this blog isn’t about snakes.
If not at the joke in the previous post, at least at the man who took over an hour to post it to his blog.
About mid-morning my email alert chimed and when I opened it I got a little joke from one of the usual suspects. I thought it was cute and I hadn’t blogged one in a while, so I went online and hit “new Entry.”
Because it came the way it did there was of course several right brackets and extra carriage returns to remove, so I cut and pasted into an empty txt file. After sprucing up I cut and pasted it into the Entry Body area and hit publish.
I was greeted with a 404. Huh? Back button, try again, 404. Maybe there is some sort of hidden escape character that I can’t see and the cutting and pasting is just inserting it, which makes the entry fail. So I open the txt file in word and save it as a word document. I close out Word and open it back up to the file. I then save it to a plain txt file again. Open the txt file, copy and paste that into the Entry area again and hit publish. 404. Dang.
Next I try and paste in each of the 3 paragraphs one at a time publishing after each one. First one goes fine, second one too, but number three is the culprit. So I try pasting it into the Extended Entry area to see if it would work there. Nope. Dang, Now I’ve got 2/3 a joke online and no punch line. I delete the post and rebuild the blog. I’ll try again when I get home, maybe something at work is causing it…
I forwarded the email to home and did the whole clean and prune exercise again before attempting the posting. All three paragraphs at once netted the same results, 404. (which reminds me, I need to make a custom 404 page for here) So I plugged in the first two paragraphs and published. I then started adding 3 or 4 words at a time from the punch paragraph until it failed. Which turned out to be right after the word python. I tried skipping the word weally when pasting and that didn’t work. I then tried typing in the word weally, nope. How about if I spell it correctly? Really didn’t do the trick either. So then I went back to my original txt file and pasted it in. That worked! There was a line break after the word python in that file, so I cleaned up the text file and I left the extra carriage return in after python and that worked too. The thing that I did to solve the problem and not have a misplaced carriage return was I placed a no breaking space in html code between python and weally.
A precious little girl walks into a pet shop and asks in the sweetest little lisp between two missing teeth, “Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?”
As the shopkeeper’s heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he’s on her level and asks, “Do you want a widdle white wabbit, or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?”
She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a quiet voice, “I don’t think my python weally gives a thit.”
OK, maybe Ed Bradley I can understand, Elizabeth Taylor is a stretch, but Kobe Bryant? We know Kobe has sex with the correct gender and of the proper age, but as to consensual, eh, maybe.
The rain that the Weather Channel had been promising for our area for Sunday noon, finally arrived here mid-morning today. Because of that we managed to eke in a top down drive to work. The windblocker was up along with the windows and the temperature control was about halfway to hot. Tomorrow and Wednesday it will be in the mid to lower 70s, woohoo, then the following two days it will be down into the 50s before settling in to the 60s where it should by this weekend. Not exactly spring, but the signs are there.
“Only” averaged 75 slices of Spam a day over the weekend. There were even a couple of virus infected ones on Friday. In honor of Valentine’s Day here are some of the love themed messages I received:
swap girls that are loose tonight from Weberlgfpq@elite.net
wedgecrummy@madtui.com promises Get a wild date
Not to be outdone aikgtwwpzb@astrosfan.net says meet your sexy dreamdate today
No matter who or what you are there is someone out there for you:
Fat girl needs to talk to someone from Woodsonmhoi@einsundeins.de
Fat boy needs to talk to a girl from Phillipsjzo@emirates.net.ae
Skinny boy needs to talk to someone from Arredondoaaxe@ioc.net
Whatever you weigh, it is still a good idea to Become a stud in bed according to BonitaRyanOxdd@P.com
On the eve of Valentine’s Day I received every husband’s dream, wife sanctioned internet porn searching. Donna is a big fan of Trading Spaces and she heard/read somewhere that the hostess of the show, Paige Davis, was canned from the show for the discovery of a Paris Hilton style sex tape that was somewhere on the net. She asked me to try and find it. I answered promptly, “Yes ma’am, I’ll look in every filthy corner of the net for you.”
It didn’t take long to find out that the tape was not really of her. Or maybe it was the greatest cover up ever perpetrated, it was denied it was her, just some one who looks and sounds a lot like her. The tape may (or may not) be real, but apparently racy pictures of Paige at a gay male charity function are not – Paige Davis Gone Wild! (link no longer works.)
I may have not found anything tonight, but if she ever comes in and I’m looking at internet porn, I can just say I was looking for that Paige Davis tape. (once 🙂)
