Well, that's just ducky, Amazon.
Nov. 8th, 2015 04:12 amSo Amazon has been crashing on me for the last couple of days. I thought it was my browser being frustrating. I'm almost ready for another gift card shopping spree, so Amazon crashing is not acceptable. I finally ran CCleaner again, which I don't do as much as I should because it exasperates me that it won't delete all the junk it finds and instead only gets rid of about half of it. But it's good to see that the program still works; Tumblr is running well enough again that for the time being, I can post without losing my mind.
Amazon, however, is still crashing. In desperation I typed "Amazon freezes Firefox" in the search bar and learned this upsetting news: https://www.404techsupport.com/2015/08/amazon-crashes-firefox-safari/
This has been going on since August. Why the HECK doesn't Amazon fix this?! Firefox and Safari users make up a large part of their customer base!
At least there's a link there to an Amazon Light version that works for me, so hopefully I'll be able to do my shopping spree without havoc when my second gift card arrives. But unless this problem is fixed, I won't be able to click on any Amazon email links. Aurgh....
And I decided to make that U.N.C.L.E. website. It's not ready to open yet, but I got a good chunk of it done and I'm pleased with it. I'm also pleased with my follow-up to The Peaceful Meadows Affair and hope that after having been quiet for the past several days, it won't be overwhelming when I post the next chapter soon.
It feels good to be confident again. I guess I needed to not post for a few days for my own peace of mind, as I was getting so worried I was being a pest to keep posting a fic thing each day. I started struggling with whether I should remove the posted chapter and split the subplot into a separate thing. (Problem is, I don't think I'd have enough content without it. That's why I hadn't started the follow-up before; not enough plot to work with.) Part of me wants to write the flashback scenes in the subplot as several oneshots (or as added vignettes to The Mist of Yesterday), since of course the flashbacks in the chapters are only brief snippets and not the full scenes. Maybe I will do that, but I also want to have this subplot in the story for a reason. So hopefully I can balance the subplot with the main mystery and people will be interested in how I handle it.
MeTV is showing The Concrete Overcoat Affair this weekend. I'm excited; I haven't seen that one yet and I'm anxious for the friendship squee. I'll watch both parts together, as I don't like the torture of seeing one part and waiting for the next one. Maybe seeing it will plunnie me. I hope.
