Adam Kinney’s SLNews Script In Action — Phase II

I thought I had a problem with my script on my page, but I saw it running on my wife's machine, so it had to be ok.

I ate dinner, came back here and yikes... S  L  O  W and no feed, so I started hacking the page ... but I couldn't get it any better. Finally looked at my wife's machine again, and dang... it's not working.

Back in here, and try just to go to twitter to look at the SLNews and can't get twitter.com to open. Finally I got it part way and then it put up a page saying they're having technical difficulties. Well... I don't need their difficulties tracked over onto my site, I can generate enough of those myself :)

Going to have to maybe rethink how to display that script, because for now, it's gone. I just commented it out so when they come back up I can reverse it, but I still want to look a little closer.

So, however long twitter has been hosed... I'm thinking no more than a couple hours... that's how long WynApse.com has been grumpy.

In the future, if you find something like this going on, feel free to write me and let me know!

Adam Kinney’s SLNews Script In Action

In yesterday's Silverlight Cream, I talked about Jesse Liberty and Adam Kinney's postings.

I tried to put Adam's script onto my GeeksWithBlogs page, but that just wasn't working. I even tried to upload the JS to my site and d/l it from there in the script, but it hit a roadblock trying to talk to the HTML tag, so I removed it. Oh.. and that was interesting in itself, because I also dropped a closing > from a br at the end and wow... my entire blog was one-word wide down a LOOOONG page ... oops!

So I stuffed that script into the Right-Hand sidebar of the MasterPage for WynApse.com and reports are that it is displaying it's little heart out. I say "reports are" because I suppose it's the firewall or who kows what that is blocking that inside this building. Or it could be because I pooted the JS folder and can't get to that from here, but since it works for other people, I'm thinking that's not the case.

If you would like the same, just go to Adam's blog post and follow the directions... you too can be announcing new Silverlight as it comes through!
