The IT Nerd

Now I host this blog via WordPresss.com because my logic is that they take care of all the security and updates so that I don’t have to. That is supposed to make my life easer. But since about 1PM EST today, I have been unable to post anything via their web interface. When I try to post something, I get this error:

That error is not exactly helpful. But this is a WordPress.com issue as this happens on multiple devices in multiple browsers.

So you’re likely wondering how I am getting this story online tonight. Well my workaround is to use the WordPress app on my iPhone. And then use iPhone Mirroring so that I can at least use a real keyboard and mouse. I thought it was a party trick by Apple when it first came out, but now it has proven to me a lifeline as it is allowing me to at least meet my “right now” commitments to get stories online. But this doesn’t change the fact that WordPress.com needs to address this and ASAP.

I posted on Twitter about this and got two responses from people who are affected by this issue. Thus I know that I am not alone. So I am going to call out WordPress.com directly. This has been going on since 1PM EST today. When are you going to foxy this? And since a lot of us pay for your services because we use WordPress to run businesses and the like, what are you going to make us whole on that front?

I don’t expect them to answer. I expect them to fix whatever is going on and pretend that id never happened. But I am free to be surprised.
