Dear computer, please stop being a douche.

Last night, I was ready to add a handful of photos to my work-in-progress update and post it all stealthy-like, but then I was unable to access my journal or open any livejournal pages at all. It loads it for a while, then gives me a screen that tells me the connection timing out. I can access other sites, so it's not the internet connection, and I know it's not livejournal itself, because I'm on here right now in my SO's office. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Has this ever happened to you?

Anyway, unless something changes, I'll have to sit on that update for a while. I suppose I could bring my photos over here to the office tonight and post from here. I do have a couple of other things I wanted to do with the printers and such... Hmmm. Maybe. If I do decide to do that, the post should be up later this evening.

I'm sorry about your screw-up comp. But I'm looking forward to the update!

LJ could have been down? It happens often, LJ going down for like 10-15 minutes.

You can use Semagic to update it if you want. It's usually helpful when LJ is crapping out on your computer.

Try clearing your cache. It helps sometimes :)

Hope you sort it out! Looking forward a lot to the update!

That happens to me all the time. Clearing your caché as Emma suggested works for me sometimes. Do you use Firefox? Sometimes I have to switch to Internet Explorer to visit some sites for a little while. I have no idea of the reason.

Anyway, I hope you sort your computer problems out, if only because it is annoying to deal with a silly machine :P.

I got no idea, but I wish you luck and I'm looking forward to an update. *crosses fingers for you*

I get that once in a while, and I have to reset my modem. I have an external broadband modem, so I unplug the power source for a few moments and things are fixed.

Aww, I hope everything works out. I usually just clear my cache, like others have said. I hope you figure it out! :)
