The lovely Laura from Typepad, who I just know lives in California and has long legs and blonde hair and perfect teeth - dammit, a man may dream, may he not? - sent me this reply to my mild - no really, very mild! - complaint
Hi David,
Thanks for your message. We had some server downtime today (October 24) but we've finally resolved this and you should start to be seeing things loading much better now.
I hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Laura
So, in the classic terms of the BBC, "Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible" which will be tomorrow morning 'cos I'm off to bed!
Still can't link direct to D&N. Must go through another blog.

I love the phrase "We had some server downtime today"! As if it's just one of those unavoidable things, or maybe even something they chose to do. "We had some coffee and bagels today".
It seems to be the Californian equivalent to "leaves on the line".

I don't want to rain on your parade Mr Duff. But Laura is a short stunted girl with hairy legs. She is devoted to improving the "product" by changing it. I write after spending half an hour this morning sorting out my wife's gmail account. She was quite happy till they changed everything.
