Dude, what did you do!? I think you broke it!
The site you're looking for may have been blowed up or the admin dude fried his hard drive again. In either case it doesn't look like you'll get his daily (heh, well whenever the hell he actually posts) wry musings anymore until he either stops driving around all day in his new car or someone sends a check for a new ThinkPad. So for the moment I'm sure there are other more pressing issues to review than some janky non-ranting and pretentious driveling. By the way when you move on from here, be sure to email said ranter and driveler and let him know that his stuff is broken.

Please try the following if you think it would help:

  • Click the Detect Settings Refresh button, but nothing will happen and most likely you'll just get this page again. Maybe you should just move along now, eh?
  • If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly. But I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. Although sometimes you do misspell "the". guarantee
  • To check your connection settings, jiggle the cable. Perhaps maybe you want to get some compressed air and blow out some of that dust that's accumulated over the years. Seriously, when was the last time you did that? And while checking that out maybe you should consider swapping out the mouse and keyboard. Do you know how much fecal matter they've been amassing what with all the eating, sneezing, nose picking, scratching, not washing of hands post-toiletry, and touching all manner of other things. That's just gross. You should do something about that. click the Tools menu, for absolutely no help at all. On the Connections tab, click Settings. The settings should match those provided by your local area network (LAN) administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). If you're using AOL you probably have this issue happen all the time. Why are you still with them anyway?
  • If your Network Administrator has enabled it, Microsoft Windows can examine your network and automatically discover network connection settings. Though most likely, Microsoft is already monitoring everything you're doing right now, Windows or not! In fact they can probably SEE you right now in your undies! If not right now, probably later when you think you're safe all snuggly under the blanket. And yeah, they probably saw you in the shower too. Miscrosoft is at this very moment secretly connected to your computer and downloading all the information you have stored in it and watching you like some horrible reality show archiving your life to replace you with a clone to pimp the wonders of Microsoft.
    If you would like Windows to use your identity to apply for copious amounts of credit to open a Geek-only Bunny Ranch, then by all means click Huh? Detect Sanity Settings. You know all those mp3's and that porn that you cleverly hid in your c:\windows directory to fool your husband, wife, boss, or even your parents? Not only do they see it, they are making copies of it for personal use. And besides, mixing porn and critical system files isn't too smart.
  • Some sites require 128-bit connection security. And wow, if that makes you feel safer about conducting financially sensitive transactions online, well heh, don't know what to tell you. And that's not even counting all the databases storing every single transaction you make!
  • Click the Back button to try something else. I've found doing Kegel exercises oddly invigorating.
