Obituaries
» The author Robert L. Short, who wrote The Gospel According to Peanuts, died on July 6 due to cancer. The Gospel According to Peanuts was a book that took theological and Christian insights from Charles Schulz’s comic strip Peanuts. It was published in 1965. According to the Chicago Tribune, Mr. Short also tried to publish a similar tome using Calvin and Hobbes, but never got clearance from Bill Watterson.
The panel discussion with Feiffer, Koren, Sorel and Danziger is at 4 p.m.
I know a place nearby that will sell us beer afterwards. Well, they’d sell it to us before, too, but my undergrad days are long past.
Alan, I’m getting kind of tired of your website jerking me to the bottom of the page every time after it finally loads. Just a heads up.
Dan, I think that’s because you click on “comments”, as opposed to the title of the article itself.
No, it happens on every page or story title link. Even the main site one so it’s not that.
It happens in Safari and Firefox both. It keeps loading and loading and after 10 seconds, BAM you’re at the bottom of the page. Just tryin’ to help out Alan.
Note to self. Place more advertising at bottom of page for Dan to click on. 🙂
It happens to me, too. Front page or any page, it does what Dan describes. I’m on a Mac using Safari fwiw.
K, I’ll look into it. It’s hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing if I can’t replicate it locally. I’ll send you guys an email with questions that might help me fix it.
Thanks,
Alan
For the sake of chiming in, (and at the risk of turning the thread into a troubleshooter) I’m on Mac 10.5.7 & Safari 4.0.2 (and Firefox 3.0.11): loads normally.
I use a Mac and Safari, and it only goes to the bottom when I click on the comment. When I click on the topic, it just goes to the story, and I have to scroll down to the comments.
So it’s working just fine for me, Alan. Perhaps it’s that anti-Collins/Amend software you installed… which seems to be working!
For a minute there I thought I was going crazy. Now I know Bill is going crazy too. That’s some comfort.
Every page, including the front page, goes straight to the bottom for me. Firefox 3.0.11
what’s goin on fellahs…? (thats all i have to say, goin out to the pool)
