Writing

I'm in the process of answering interview questions for Pat Ferrara of Mania, who will be reviewing Legacy of Wolves, hopefully next week. I'll let you know when they're up.

Everything Else

So I upgraded to Firefox 2.0.0.6 and have been having all sorts of problems with Yahoo! and certain other websites. I did the firewall thing, the pop-up blocker thing, and the page view thing recommended in their user forums, but I'm still having issues. So if any of the more computer-literate among my readers would care to take pity on me and help me figure out what's wrong, I would be eternally grateful.

Well, keeping in mind I only know enough about computers to get myself in trouble...

I did the java thing they recommend that is supposed to work around the incompatibility, but I'm still having the same issue.

Basically, Yahoo won't load. It hangs up on the third green bar. If it DOES load, I can't see most of the graphics and I can't go any further than the front page, meaning I can't sign in to check mail or groups. Same with Neopets.com, which my son uses a lot, and military.com. I can get to livejournal fine, gmail, my bank, so it's not all websites.

I've exhausted my limited store of knowledge, and have resorted to pulling out hair. It doesn't help much, but is cheaper than throwing my computer out the window. Heh.

Well, I just learned that Cox is having a system-wide problem in AZ, so it may have nothing to do with Firefox at all. Will just have to wait it out and see. Bleh.
