  • Argh! Why can't I get an error message when I want one?! Must quote the famed error message here!!!

    July 17, 2007

  • 'Sorry, but this site has gone all 500 Application Error on you. Something's wrong with the server, most likely. Please email John, the slack bastard who built this. Feel free to give him a piece of your mind.'

    For interested parties, this was obtained from http://wordie.org/tags/logical%20operator?view=cloud; I haven't mentioned it under bugs yet because I'm not sure just what the conditions for its appearance are. Edit: it's been fixed now.

  • The cloud for logical operator seems to be working now, for me at least.

    However, the tag / is guaranteed to give you an error. Yes, that's right, somewhere on this site is a word tagged with a slash.

  • John fixed the clouds, but there's a tag called http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/unchurched dictionary.com (but with square brackets instead of ) which still breaks; maybe the slashes in it are the problem.

  • Yeah, I knew about that one and called it out. Appropriately enough, it's attached to unchurched.

  • Did the error message change? The one I just got from the / tag didn't mention our favorite slack bastard:

    "Sorry, but I'm a 404 Error, and, as is my nature, I can't find what you're looking for. Try the search box in the upper right, or maybe dig around on the home page."

  • It's a different type of error, so you get a different message. :)

    July 5, 2008

  • Ohhh. This one sounds like blaming the victim.

    July 6, 2008

  • Different messages for different errors?! That slack bastard.

  • Remembering the / tag, wherever it is, I found that wordie.org/words// gives 'Nobody is listing . Why don't you?' (whereas adding still another / produces a 404). I'm scared to try to list it...
