I Can’t Access Flickr.com
February 5th, 2008, 5 Comments »
The Intarweb has been very slightly b0rked over the past, oh, 36 hours. Everything works fine, excepting that I can’t access Flickr.com. When I try to visit the site, my browser just churns and churns.
Interestingly, I can see static Flickr images when they’re referenced elsewhere. For example, I can see the little thumbnails in other posts on my home page (like this one).
This wouldn’t be a big deal, except that Flickr widgets on other sites don’t load. So, I wanted to do a few things on the Northern Voice site, but the Flickr widget tries to load in the left sidebar before the main content does. So, the page only loads as far as the title “Photos from Last Year” and then hangs.
I checked in Safari and on Julie’s machine, so it ain’t local to my MacBook. Weird, eh?
Of course, when the service and the access to support for the service live in the same place, I’m kind of pooched on getting help.
