This morning shortly after rising I checked my blog as I always do and found to my dismay that The Glittering Eye was inaccessible. I scrambled around for a while checking my various hosting providers and trying to submit support requests. As an aside one of the effects of chatbots is that it has become extremely difficult if not impossible to get technical support.
I had a number of meetings scheduled this morning, starting at 8:00am and running back to back until just a few minutes ago. Once my rash of meetings had ended I performed a tracert. Somewhat to my surprise it succeeded. Buoyed by that success I pinged the site (earlier pings had failed). That worked, too. I signed back in and checked things out.
Now I’ve got to go back and cancel my support requests.
Between one and two hours ago, I was able to refresh and to get the latest comments. Now, the favicon is another matter.
Chatbots, voice recognition, AI, etc. is all crap, but it is the same crap a human would spew. So, I guess it makes sense to get rid of the humans.
