Some sort of hardware issue at my Web host. They’re looking into it. Should be resolved shortly… I hope.

Speaking of site issues… there is some piece of code on your site that gives me a prompt asking to run Adobe Flash Player Installer whenever I load the main page. I don’t know if it’s in an ad or in an embedded video, but it is very annoying. (I could stop it from showing up on my end but only by changing my browser’s settings to always ignore those prompts, and that wouldn’t solve the problem for anyone else.)

Yes, I hate that message too. It’s not exclusive to this site but then I don’t see it on most of the sites I visit either. I suspect it’s connected to one of the newer embeded videos because it didn’t start showing up until recently (either last week or the week before).

I think it might be the video from 236.com, which was posted in this entry:

I have no idea — I’m not having the same problem. That 236 video has dropped off the main page — are you still getting the same error?
