I am pretty irritated at Gmail at the moment. I can’t get in at all. They are working on the problem, which seems to only be effecting a certain number of users, which, as luck would have it, I am one of. :)

All the calls, Rico’s Reviews, Marks Movie Review, intros, outros, special bits sent in by you guys, etc etc…all unavailable to me till they get this problem resolved. All my damn email eggs are in one big fat basket. It hurts when it’s down. So not only did my DSL go dead last tuesday, tack onto that the fact that I have a new cold! Coughing like an old man with emphysema. Add all that onto the tidbit that we hit bandwidth limits twice this week, and I misspelled today’s comic. Good good times.

The Internet gods are angry at me for some unknown reason. I don’t know what I have done to incur their wrath. But I do know this, a regular Tuesday night show will happen next Tuesday, the usual time, and we will just have to live with it. Don’t hate us. Please. We never miss shows…just keep that in mind. :)

    Its not that we hate you Scott, its that we do not prefer to be in your audable company, any more. :)

    Just means I will be giggly with happiness next week when we get an ELR. Make it extra special for us (get Gabe and Tycho to guest star.)

  6. Shaymus22

    :( It says to check back later…it’s later!

  7. Mac (aka Sleepwalkers)

    Aw dang. I was hoping I’d get to listen to The ELR(tm) tonight.
    Oh well.

  8. TheChao

    Don’t tell me you actually did that to your monitor…

  9. Shaymus22

    is it working yet?

  10. ranro

    Don’t worry about it Scott. I just listened to one of the back episodes today, so I got my ELR fix for the week.

    Take care of that cold. Must be something in the air. I am feeling a little under the weather now also and I hardly ever get sick. Must be all this global warming making new strains of bacteria crop up.

  11. Shaymus22

    is it working yet?

  12. Plaguebearer

    Are we there yet?

  13. Shaymus22

    Am I insane yet?

  14. Tokit

    /cry

  15. Shaymus22

    me too, Tokit…me too

    Well, I guess we’ll have to wait ’till Tuesday.

    I know I will.

    Yes, I sure will, Tokit…I sure will.

  16. Zathras

    Well, I was wondering what happened, but I understand. It’s not like this is something I can bitch about. I have a cold too, so I feel your pain, man. Get better soon!

  17. Shaymus22

    I just have one question, and it has nothing to do with Spanish…

    Is it fixed yet?

  18. mYstline

    >:*(

  19. Blastic

    Shamus you are a nut… I like that quality in a person. Scott I am praying to the internet gods to get you back up and running… because I need more poo stories!!!

  20. Acaila

    Shaymus22: A true fan would have made his own podcast as a susbstitue… and a huge statue made from Poo in the likeness of Scott. :P

  21. Samantha Jane

    *hugs*

  22. Liraco

    Your patience is being tested, just chill Scott.

    I’m sure the vast majority of your fans will understand, maybe a bit letdown but we can’t really be demanding when you do this for free and out of your own free time. (it’d be nice if you could make the next show a tad longer to make up for it though… *wink* *nudge*)

    Gmail’s fine for me but it may be a regional problem (I’m in Mexico you see).

    Hope it all works out fine and the problems you’ve been having go away. And get better! You seem to be getting sick a lot lately, stress perhaps?

  23. Darth_yoda

    This is all I have to say on the matter:

  24. Crimson77

    O.K…No one is leaving this comments page until we find out who’s fault it is…Come on…Own up.

    If no one tells me who did this you will all be staying back until this issue is resolved…I can wait all day.

  25. Flamov

    =[

  26. Jeff S.

    Hey… I guess my internet gods are better than your internet gods. :)

    oh wait…

    Well anyway, I think I got enough ethernet cable to string a link across the street and through Ryan’s backyard… whatever it takes to make sure we get a show.

    :)

  27. Jim H. Moreno

    Completely understood, Scott man. Sorry I can’t help with your ‘Net errors, but as for that cold – shot(s) of tequila, cure it right up.

  28. Propane

    SCOTT! Talk more about poop and the internet gods will be happy.

  29. Wolfgang

    No ELR this week? Am dizzy … see stars .. can’t describe .. symptoms .. any .. longer … *thud*

  30. Atlantis1982

    Go figure, and I just started listening to ELR last episode. v.v

  31. RabbiRob

    Scott, I’d suggest having your Gmail forwarded to another free service provider. That way, if the problem is access to your mail (not receiving inbound messages) you can still access it.
    I wound up doing this because, although I *love* Gmail, I wanted to have IMAP access to keep Apple Mail synchronized on multiple machines – which Gmail doesn’t have.
    I found out that AOL (yes, I know) has free webmail with 2 GB of storage and IMAP access, so I forward everything from Gmail to AOL and nobody is the wiser. Even if you don’t use it for IMAP, at least your messages are there if you can’t log in to Gmail.
    http://aol.com/mail
    Hope that helps!

  32. Jonesman64

    I was gonna say:

    “The internet gods require more poo jokes!!”

    But it looks like that has been taken…

    No ELR this week… no biggie… I can wait.

  33. Lifeisaglitch

    If i hadden just gotten TLOZTTP i would be angry sad and disappointed at them intertubegods of which you speak. sort of mixed feelings now but sort of happy…. more Zelda for me !!!!!!!

  34. LucaStefan

    Well here’s the punishment for not mentioning Dean Cain enough…

  35. Rico

    Scott – let me know if you need me to email my review to a different email for you. You can always contact me directly via my main website page at: http://www.treksf.com Hope it all gets better for you soon.

  36. OsK

    Man ya should try to set Mail to work with it ^.^

  37. Wayne from the uk

    Maybe the service is down while Google uploads the data to the NSA as demanded?

    Of course, they could never confirm or deny this – this would itself be in breach of the Patriot Act!

    Just an alternative thought! Funny this seems to happen every few months…

  38. fantasyh

    If you’d use an mail client like Thunderbird you wouldn’t have that problems. Since the servers are still up you could get your mail normally.

  39. Scott

    Its up now of course…just lame timing.

  40. Relayer

    Free the poo! Free the poo!

  41. kitsura

    So we can expect the episode right about…..now!?

  42. Kainti

    *Jumps*

  43. I Ludicrous

    Scott, go to http://www.spamblocked.com/ and click the “Product Services and Support” link on the left-hand menu. Then click the “SpamBlocked.com Products and Services Ordering Page and Price Schedule” link in the center. Scroll to the bottom and choose “SpamBlocked.com Email only.” Fill it out and order it. I’ll comp you. You can have your Gmail forwarded (copied) to your spamblocked.com account and that way you have two possibilities for accessing it.

    Incidentally, are you planning to ever upload the old ELR archives to Castle Anthrax?
