Safari Crash in RadioLand

The good news is that within an hour of sending an email to RadioLand about the sad fate of Safari users who try to read my RadioLand blog, someone called Lawrence was back to me. The bad news is that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong:

I'll check internally with some people that use OS X/Safari to see if they can verify the problem, but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary in the page that would cause it to lockup.

Lawrence

I guess I'll try contacting Safari too.

Old school, new school, no school

So Marc has now concluded that at least two two of his friends (Scoble and me) from Microsoft are saying something different than what he has heard before. Then he adds:

The vibe I get is that they know they've won the old school and so now the only issue is “how do we play in the new school?”

Maybe I want to skip the new school and go to the no school. Maybe we can play there… And maybe we can just make the big bang – throwing ourselves into distributed computing – and the bang itself will represent the winning.

Apologies to Macintosh Safari Users

I am getting many notes like this one from Irwin Lazar:

Just wanted to let you know that your blog causes Safari on the Macintosh to completely lock up. It seems to work fine with either IE explorer or Firefox though.

So I guess I need to find Dave Winer and find out if there's something wrong with Safari! Or find Safari and see if there is something wrong with Dave Winer! Anyway, I haven't done anything clever yet – I'm just using the RadioLand software “out of the box”. In fact I'm still on the trial version, checking it all out. It's pretty simple and I like that. I assume Radioland can explain this. I do tend to attract all the possible bugs in any piece of software. We'll see how long it takes.
