I was aborted.

Well the last fifteen times I tried to access Althouse I got the message:

Operation aborted.

That's more abortions than all the girls at Pandagon.

Well maybe not.

And I didn't even get a T-shirt.

It's a conflict between IE and sitemeter.

What the hell you using IE for?

Why you wanna bring that stuff to my house? Er, hizzouse. Hizzousizzle. Whatever the shizznizzile.

Yeah Ann Althouse keeps blocking my browser - she is playing hard to get.

Blake - what else could I use if not Internet Explorer? Does my laptop have other software I could use?

Snoop Dog shizznizzle - he's funny.

Hey I always used internet explorer. What was I supposed to use? I don't know this geek stuff. I still can't get in on Saturday morning.

Here is what I have figured out. It has to do with Sitemeter not IE.

My blog does not have sitemeter on it and I can access my blog. I assume you have not installed Sitemeter either Troop?

Althouse of course and most of the big trafficed blogs have sitemeter so sitemeter must have updated its software but the new code has a conflict with my browser and yours too.

Or maybe this is just Althouse's way of banning certain undesirables. That bbbbbbeeeeeeeyaaaatch. Heh.

I downloaded Windows updates and now I can use my browser on Althouse. She says she has never had it so good.

BTW _ I hear that all the time.

Firefox is free and sucks 30% less than IE7. In lab studies, it sucked 95% less than IE6.

OperaL is also free and pioneered the whole multi-tab browser, thing, if I'm not mistaken. It's also a mail client and a bazillion other things, if you need them.

I used to have to use IE for some troublesome websites, but these days, if I get one in six months that only works in IE, that's a lot. And at that point, it's the site's problem, not mine.

That should be "Opera", not "OperaL"
