Good:
This Holden Commodore SV6 is about as well equipped as a 1989 Opel inside (the electric windows did not even have a one-flick close—you had to keep your finger on the button; and the windscreen wipers would not go from one-speed to intermittent when the car was stationary), but boy, did it turn heads. More people looked at this than some of the very exclusive cars I have driven. It’s not sporty, with no flappy gear change, and a pretty limited five-speed automatic gearbox.
The one good point: it had room galore.
I have no idea why they sell so well, but then, there’s no accounting for taste. By the same token the Toyota Auris and Corolla are best sellers here, and they are about as entertaining as an episode of Coronation Street without sound. And picture.
PS.: Vox’s compose-screen loading time is down to around 20 minutes (from days) again.
Time elapsed for compose window to appear: about ten seconds. Have they fixed it? (Last time I asked that, I jinxed it, and the next load took something like 16 hours.)
I was at Newtown Mall last week (not a regular shopping location for me) and noticed a pretty big typo. Where did the missing i in responsibility go?
Does anyone get an error like this when they log out of Vox?
Time elapsed for the compose window to load: four hours. I have just started another Vox account and the compose window comes up instantly (I will not blog from there as I refuse to use noms de plume). Someone at Vox does not want me blogging.
Here’s something I did want to share, now that I remember. However, my commentary is hardly going to be fresh since Vox never loads on demand any more. Enjoy it for what it is. It was, to me, the funniest scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer. Quite clearly, Mike Myers, who co-wrote the movie, based the parents in the movie on his real-life ones.
That:
My mom and dad and aunt and I picked my niece up from the airport(she spent Thanksgiving with my brother and his wife and my nephew, and her Oklahoma grandparents).We went to El Indio(the second time after picking someone up from the airport!) for lunch. Then we took my niece back to USD where she goes to college and got to see her dorm.
First time I have seen the Vox compose window for over two days. This site is so dead.
Here was yesterday’s traceroute from Auckland:
Based on feedback, three Kiwi Voxers have been able to get on this site. I still refuse to believe that this error is unique to me. As many of you know, I am on Vox regularly, and average well over a post a day, but the comment thread here gives you an idea of the number of times it has failed. I heard from one Australian Voxer who can no longer blog from Vox using Firefox and has to switch to IE8, so there is something very serious going on with the site in blocking certain individuals from using it normally.
At least I was able to get these Mini E videos up for your enjoyment: a few days ago, Vox would not let me import images or videos.
If you get a comment from either jethro bodine or ken,delete them and have nothing to do with them. They are Vox's resident trolls. They may *act* friendly,but they have been terrorising anyone who disagrees with them(especially when it comes to gay marriage, and race issues)And at least one of them has said that he would kill President Obama if he were given the chance.
Odds and ends from the past few days:
