JJ Makes a Difference.

I’ve been experiencing a glitch over the past week when accessing my own and other people’s blogs, which was not only irritating but probably explained the substantial drop in visitors. I started a thread on the Help Forum and it got picked up by the top forum watcher who reported it to Google.

Before you could say ‘what’s an Error 503?’ most of the blogger universe was beating a path to the burgeoning thread, all complaining about the same problem and reporting drops in traffic by up to 75%. Eventually it reached forty nine posts (OK, not quite ‘most of the blogger universe,’ but a hero can be allowed a hint of hyperbole, can’t he?) The fiftieth post came from Brett of Mighty Google, who reported that they’d fixed the problem and the world is spinning normally on its axis again.

I reckon that makes me the hero of the hour. In fact, since Mighty Google seems to be largely in control of the world these days, I reckon I might just have saved the world.

So now I’m going to strike myself a medal, and you lot out there can send me lots and lots of nice pressies to express your gratitude. 40%ABV minimum, please.
