Henry Fuseli's "The Nightmare," ("Incubus") 1790, Goethe Museum, Frankfurt, Germany
WHINE ALERT. Until about a week ago, we were in the top 200 of the all-important The Truth Laid Bear's Ecosystem, but as of a coupla days ago, we were suddenly dropped to 577, and now, today, 599. Something ain't right there. Don't like it at all. What's going on? Does anyone know? Update: Down to 615 next day.
Note: How much do you despise Photoshop? ' Love it to pieces, of course, but more and more, it suddenly doesn't work, and we have to uninstall and reinstall, and even then, it may not work. Fortunately for us, we came upon a good solution to something odd over six months ago -- "Photoshop not responding" -- that just happened last week for the second time, but thanks to our Google legwork then, we were prepared. Gak. Hate it so much. All the playing pieces are on their side.
Also having so much trouble posting comments using TypeKey that we're starting to play possum: Rolling over and playing dead. Too much trouble for what it's worth. It doesn't accept our mother's maiden name when we're trying to retrieve our password, for example. 'Can't help but think that these impediments will simply weed out the web sites that use them. Or maybe not. Maybe they'll weed out the likes of ourselves.
A coupla days later: after an InstaLanche and a NationalReviewLanche, we're movin' on up again: 335. No idea re cause and effect, 'course.
I don't know about the ecosystem; once I hit mammal I took the link off my site and never looked back. It just doesn't matter. Well, to me anyway. ;)
ANYway, sometimes there are burps in the system, and that's what it sounds like is happening...
Photoshop is so.much.smarter than I am, but I've never had it hang up on me. It did ask me to get it a coke and some baby gherkins once. Thought that was odd.
Sorry... it's just a silly Saturday! :)

I've dropped some 1500 places recently and I note that TLB is showing about a third of the links that Technorati does for me. I suspect it's related to his server problems which I understand are not fully resolved.

Oh. So maybe it wasn't something I said/wrote, after all? :)
