The System is Down
What are the odds that Blogger is "temporarily unavailable due to planned maintenance" at the exact moment I decide to finally blog? It says they should have been done 30 minutes ago, so it must not be going well. I suppose I can't complain too much, since it's a free service and all.
Anyways, I wanted to comment on how much I hate pop-up ads, with the exception of those awesome Orbitz flash games. The plane, hotel & car-shaped mini golf course had me entertained for a good 15 minutes, but I can't seem to consistently ace the plane hole (#1), so I gave up with 4 as my best score.
Speaking of free services, Google yesterday launched a beta of My Search History, which keeps track of what you're searching for and uses "Automatic Related History Detection" to remind you of related searches you've done in the past. Talk about locking a user in your service, nice work g00g.
Blogger isn't the only site affected by system outages - Homestarrunner.com has been affected two times.
