Neatorama Update: Any Faster? Seeing a Redirection Error?

Alex

Talkin' bout computer errors, we've been tinkering with Neatorama's caching system and some of you have emailed me about a weird redirection error.

If you can't see Neatorama's post permalinks or comments (you get redirected to the home page instead) or if you have trouble with the feed (starting from now), please let me know.

Since you obviously can't write a comment if you see this error, please email alex AT neatorama DOT com.

For those of you unaffected, I'd like to hear if you think Neatorama is loading any faster from where you're at. Thanks!

On my Macbook it certainly is loading alot faster...might be the updates that Apple sent out or perhaps I've been MIA from the site for awhile! :D

Still the site looks smexy!

slightly off topic, but I'm having problems using Flock browser when in Neatorama. From time to time it would give me error messages and shut down. only in Neatorama and only when using Flock. Anyone knows about it? anyone else having this problem?

This is the first time I have been able to access the comments. Before, I was rerouted to the home page for two days. AND I can't access any of the archives. I just get sent to the home page. I tried to email you--but is the address literally "alex" at neatorama dot com? I didn't want to assume.

Update for me:

works on vista with all the browsers
does not work at all (cant click on anything) with xp 64bit with any of the browsers (IE, Firefox, Opera) at home. I have yet to try one of the macs at work and my linux computer (too lazy to turn it on last night)...
oh and on the xp computer it also barely updates the amount of comments.

In Futurama, there's an episode about the Olympics in year 3004, saying that steroid injections had become mandatory a long time ago...

There's nothing wrong with using steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. What's wrong is agreeing to abide by a set of rules and then breaking that promise.

That said, the ethical situation gets trickier when rules are not enforced, not enforced equally or if most or all participants are violating them and getting away with it.

But there *is* something wrong with using steroid and other drugs. They not only skew the playing field to the point that authentic, non-drug-using athletes cannot fairly compete through natural skill or grueling training but these "additive" also have horrible effects on the human body. Rules must be enforced across the board to prevent damage to what should be some of the healthiest people on earth.

@Lynda if "preventing damage" is the goal where does one stop. Recent studies say running more than 25km a week is bad for you, so should we ban the marathon. What about American football and all the concern regarding head injuries. And all those athletes who shoot cortisone into aching joints only to end up with permanent damage. What about the mental state of children pushed by parents to excel, at the cost of a normal childhood. The list goes on.
As for fair, what about all the technological advantages rich countries have over poor ones - better training facilities, better equipment, financial support, scientifically formulated diets. If we are going to be truly fair shouldn't all athletes have access to the same training and equipment.
Where does one draw the line.
