Now to write my way out of this one.

It reflects poorly on Comcast that their site is slow and their bill paying page only loads once in a while. Paying takes multiple days to hit it while it's working.

@Ithildyn This reminds me of a thing Deb came up with a few weeks ago that had us periodically calling out song titles: Songs you would prefer never to hear again.

I might have to post on Twitter AKA X with Facebook down so completely. Got caught down while switching accounts and login hangs hopelessly. It's just that Tw- um, X, has been weird since the 140 limit went away.

@MassRMV Any advice on EZ Pass? I haven't gone through a toll in 3-4 years. Was down to about $10 and they added $20 then. I lost access to my account even with transponder number and so forth. Lost password in a computer crash, not allowed to reset. Now a new $20 charge!

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

@IMAO_ Same. When my colleague said someone was found guilty the other day, I had no idea who she was talking about.

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

@MassRMV I went back and they resent email on the spot. Seemed great but that takes you to My RMV Profile, which I'd already checked when I didn't get email. Walking through, that says I can't pay because I owe no fees. Much as I'd love to save $510, yes, I do owe fees. Ugh!

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

@MassRMV I got call Fri that registration was done and email sent for payment. Never got email! Not in spam. Suspect address typo. No way to get thru on phone. Used online contact, but say can take 10 days. Just go back, queue, explain prob at window?

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

And it's back! Impressive outage. Would have been funny if it had reached 24 hours, but it was close. #facebookoutage

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

Got onto FB enough to see a single post, comment on that, and wish someone happy birthday. It can't show notifications. Still broken, clearly, like 20 hours later. #facebookoutage

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

#Facebookoutage continues. Wow! That's impressive.

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

Impressive! Facebook has been down for over 12 hours now.

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

There's danger in institutionalizing fads.

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

They used to call them tomboys.

10 Yrs ago elderly geek couldn't get hired, ended up semi-retired. Is econ enough better to offset even old mid-50s now? Dubious...

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

Didn't we already have a COBOL crisis for Y2K? https://t.co/w0T4YKRJmk

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

@robmay Didn't we already have a COBOL crisis 17+ years ago? I thought everyone was going to replace that stuff! (Had COBOL in college, it's odd.)

3 Hours of sleep is not enough, even after a long sleep the day before.

@briangongol To me recipes are guidelines, suggestions, sources of ideas...

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

Imagine Watergate uncovered during a contrived scandal involving Democrats, being ignored by press as fake distraction to "real" scandal.

[Marshall Ellis @marshellis]

If it didn't exist before, a new law would regulate, set parameters, or change it to being illegal. Sigh...
