OK, this is just odd. Anybody who has been reading along, especially comments, for the past day or so has noticed that something screwy has been going on WRT the Paypal buttons. Someone clicks to buy “art18,” they get “art20.” Someone clicks to “comment,” suddenly they find they’re in the process of buying “art19.” Finally, just a little while ago I decided to search my own blog for a posting about NJ governor Christie. So I type “Christie” into the search bar, hit the button… and get re-directed to the Paypal shopping cart. BAH!

Not having the slightest idea of anything else to do, I went into the posts on the front page that had Paypal buttons and deleted the buttons, replacing them with cut-and-paste text directing those interested to the regular webpage. And viola… the search function functions again.

I have not the slightest clue how, but text in a post somehow reprogrammed the whole damned blog. If I could figure out exactly how that worked, maybe I could put some text onto a T-shirt that would program women to find me attractive. Or fill out a five dollar deposit form that would reprogram my bank account into something to be proud of.

  3. Uh, oh, a neat idea, already used in some weird sci-fi… and in memetics.
