you can even use it to call home
The blogosphere has conspired to keep Across the Bored from being productive, choosing instead to thwart our multitasking efforts at every turn by throwing a whole toolbox of technological wrenches into our proverbial gears – pulled out of the ether for no apparently good reason, a dastardly deviant glitch-fest has boggled the mind and tested the limits of our patience. The dreaded “403 Forbidden” has been appearing every time we have tried to access all your lovely blogs from the summary readers on the WP iPhone and iPad apps (good thing we still have a “real” computer monitor to track you down with) and it has also refused to actually register our “likes” even though it has told us it is “liking” and goes so far as to question whether we want to “unlike” once it has convinced us that we have been a good blog friend. We managed to discover this nifty little fact when we were forced to go back through the regular reader and catch up on over a week’s worth of missing blog posts. Missing? Oh yes, scads of your well-crafted, interesting, amusing and enlightening posts have not been appearing on our mobile reader – not even a summary, nothing…. We thought everyone was on vacation, it is July after all. So if it seems as though we have been remiss in visiting, commenting, liking and generally being the trickster that is Across the Bored, we apologize. We will do things the old-fashioned way for a while, sit a spell, save our eyesight and see things large and lovely the way they should be.

Yes I had the same issues!! The mobile version of the website works in Safari though, so you can still access it via the iPhone!

I can get into it – just can’t access full posts or blogs from the notifications window – many times clicking on the blog name cuts the app back to my home screen…

Too early – yes Safari – have done that a few times; have also been getting good results through gmail notifications!

I’m So laughing at the thought that Everyone would be on vacation–hah, some of us are poor! The blogs are our work And our vacations, and for some (like moi) they’re church, family and friends as well. I predict someday they’ll even be food–and I’ll finally drop the 45 lbs I could do without. Sorry for the glitch issues, though–chin up!

More like a vacation from being plugged in – I can relate though… What’s the old adage “you can choose your friends but not your family” – in our blogging universes we can do both and so much more: it’s a rather lovely community that (usually) works exactly like it should and if we don’t like something out it goes! That reminds me, I have a garage to finish cleaning…..

Oh yeah, the garage project (laughing). I did the Big Clean yesterday, so I’m crippled up today–and trying not to drop so much as a crumb. It’s a small apt but cleaning is not anywhere on my “faves” list–so I attack like a madwoman, fast and furiously.

And praying or singing while I do it seems to speed things up too. Plus– those throw pillows that came out of the dryer all bunched up? They work great as knee pads–who knew?!!

Ah yes, the 403 error – that seems to have gone away with the latest version of WP for the iPad. The likes still keep falling off though :(

Maybe it is a conspiracy to get us off our mobiles…
