I finally got an email from a flesh and blood Photobucket employee... It's a problem they know about, and it's affecting many users... so their engineering team is on it. There's a site called "Down Detector" that you can check to rule out if it's just you, or if it's widespread and others are encountering the same issues too. If you search something like "Photobucket problems" or "Roadrunner problems" or cite whatever site is misbehaving, it will pop up. downdetector.com/status/photobucketI used to have a Photobucket Account and after a little over a year later - I did not care for it. I use Postimage now ...

Not all people were affected. It seems to be solved, now. I wonder... if pirates managed to encrypt part of a big database like that and asked a ransom for the key, would the company tell us about it?

I lost power at 6:45 last night and I was watching the Ohio St and Wisconsin game on TV and bam it's just went out right around halftime ... back on at quarter to 5. It will be a breezy day nothing like yesterday. The worst has passed.

Not all people were affected. Its name is a bit misleading, it doesn't just report when sites are totally down. It charts users are reporting issues. So when I'm encountering odd things I find it useful to check to see if there are at least a few others who are reporting similar issues. Then I can breathe a bit easier knowing it's not just me (and my own connection or device or whatever).

My son disagrees that The Last Crusade is the best Indiana Jones movie. He was quite adamant about it. I guess we can't raise our children perfectly. :-)

Dizzy, if you happen to get on the train to Utrecht or Arnhem, and you're wondering about the little bloodstains on one of the seats in the silence coach... that was me, having a spontaneous nosebleed.

Last Crusade is great, just like the Temple of Doom is great...but Raiders of the Lost Ark blows them both into the weeds.

But for me there's two things that give Crusade the edge. All three had annoying chicks. Crusade's is the less annoying. And the supporting cast seals the deal for me. All three have great stories and great acting but for me that's why Crusade is the best to me.

In order of decreasing quality they go 1-2-3-4. Raiders of the lost ark... Goodness... I saw it three times in two days when it first came out. I just couldn't believe how good it was.

I felt the most annoying female was in Temple of Doom.

I felt the most annoying female was in Temple of Doom. I would agree with this, but it's still a fantastic movie. Great opening in the Club Obi-Wan ( ), genuinely creepy temple scenes and Short Round is a pretty cool character (and I say that as someone who normally hates young kid sidekicks). Three words for you, Icc...."chilled monkey brains!" Incidentally, did you know that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a prequel to Raiders? It's set two years before the first movie.

What is this fourth Indiana Jones movie people speak of? I have blotted it form my memory. Harrison Ford's last turn at Indy was in the Chicago blues episode of Young Indiana Jones! Anything with Shia LeBeouf does not exist in my reality tunnel.
