Hey there scripters (Ross, Dmitry Rubinstein, among others)-- I have a question: How can I quickly convert scripts here that have been written for Greasemonkey to other script manager extensions, such as Personalized Web for Google Chrome? All I...

Time to close this chapter

2009-12-12T12:55:51Z

Key to the calendar. Yellow: days when Vox worked normally. Pink: days when the compose screen took minutes or hours to load. Red: days when Vox would not allow me to compose at all. I’m sure most of you will agree that putting up with a compose...

Down from days and hours to hours and minutes

2009-12-10T22:25:11Z

Statistics: I have stripped out 6 kbyte worth of tags from the 260 kbyte I had yesterday afternoon. The file is now c. 254 kbyte. Pretty sucky for nearly four hours’ work, but we are talking about undoing three years of blogging here. I can’t s...

A Vox question for the Javascript bofﬁns

2009-12-10T09:46:19Z

Here’s a question for the Javascript boffins. When I began giving my username and password out, two people got it: Robin and Daisy at Six Apart. Daisy was able to confirm that it was nearly impossible to compose as me, even from Six Apart HQ. Robi...

Next theory, please

2009-12-10T09:37:16Z

Interesting. Despite removing tags for nearly three hours, which should, in theory, bring me back to the quantity of tags I had before October 28, the compose window still took half an hour to load. I’m beginning to wonder if it was a wild goose c...

Untagging Vox

2009-12-10T05:30:46Z

The compose window is still taking around a quarter-hour to open, but I am happy with Daisy’s explanation. I believe I am back to the quantity of tags that I was at before the problems began, and have been deleting a lot from the videos—since almo...

Daisy might be right: Vox tags caused my issues

2009-12-10T01:35:13Z

Although this compose window still took a while, Daisy got back to me with a new theory, one that sounds very plausible, about why I had been having so much trouble. When each compose window loads, it comes with one’s tags (if you look at the s...

Still 12 hours to get a compose screen; is the bug spreading?

2009-12-09T11:00:01Z

A surprising thing happened tonight: I could no longer get a compose window at my second Vox account. I have done some more neighbour removals (after the clue from Kimmie) to see if it made any difference. While that account is working again, I...

Is Vox ﬁxed?

2009-12-07T23:47:06Z

I don’t know if we can pronounce Vox ﬁxed, but this is the seventh compose window this morning. It took about a minute to come up. I’ve had so many of these temporary successes getting the compose screen, only to ﬁnd that I am barred from compo...
