  • It’s Back, Seemingly

    I did a search for the application, and went to its page. It said I had already added, so I navigated to the application from there, and everything seems to work again. It’s even showing up on the left under my applications.

    But then I went back to my main Facebook page, and it disappeared again. I tried the search trick once again, and it wasn’t coming up. Then suddenly, it was.

    I can breathe again.

    Geez, Scrabs, you’re acting more bipolar than my next-door neighbor. Thanks for the scare.

    For a few minutes, it was still showing up under my applications. Now, it’s gone. I’ve logged out and back in, and nada.

    Halp!

    Now Hasbro and Mattel are asking threatening to sue to have the wildly popular application removed from Facebook.

    As one Scrabulous supporter put it: “I didn’t have any Scrabble sets when I started playing Scrabulous a few months ago. Since I got hooked on that I have bought two sets.”

    Nothing works

    September 18th, 2007 Here and There Posted in games, internet/multimedia, music, personal, slightly ridiculous, technology No Comments »

    Had an interesting prior 24 hours. In that time:

  • My Razr wouldn’t assign a photo to one of my contact IDs, and despite not being used more than normal (in fact, probably less than average), its battery was draining at at least double the typical rate.
  • I couldn’t get several basic features of Facebook applications to work, including Scrabulous, Top Friends, and the profile editor feature in which the user is allowed to move feature boxes up and down within columns.
  • Just now, upon arrival at work, my iPod wouldn’t power down, using the feature where the user holds the play button continually for about three seconds.
  • I think my attitude for today is to assume that nothing works. It would be amazing if this post goes live seamlessly.

    Presumptuous

    September 17th, 2007 Here and There Posted in blog introspection, games, internet/multimedia, personal, serious No Comments »

    Just in case I have any devoted readers out there, I want to apologize for posting so haphazardly lately.

    No, no, it’s not the busy excuse. It’s the my-job-sucks-and-is-really-stressful-and-so-I-spend-all-my-free-time-socializing-
    or-with-my-girlfriend-and/or-my-dog excuse.

    Sorry.

    I too miss mepedia. I guess I haven’t really been learning much lately, outside of the occasional new word from playing Scrabulous.

    So, bear with me as I do my best to fix the problem of overworked, underpaid, and no brain cells.
