Google Spork is too fast for Livejournal
Just to clarify, I mean Google Crome and here’s why: I was poking around in the Internets, clicked a link and was greeted with “Access Forbidden – You’ve been temporarily banned.. because you were hitting the site too quickly.” Now, I know Google Chrome is quite swift of a beast but to be so fast that sites mistake you as a bot and ban you? (even being very temporarily)
Ok. So, it’s fast. Now, if it only would work. Case in point: Can’t seem to be able to add the screenshot to this very post, of the “Access Forbidden” -page, in Wordpress, as the Add an Image -button is only giving me an empty frame. And it’s hardly the first time it fumbles and fails, as I would think other heavy Chrome users would know. Does all the speed justify the fact that it’s still a spork; awkward tool that kinda does many things but just fails. I guess it does since I’m still using it, it’s just too frustrating to find yourself in situations where the tool of your choice just doesn’t cut it. …nor even nibble.
Aaaaand, there we go. Fired up Firefox and successfully added the picture.
