Games people play
I had someone email me today on StumbleUpon and say that they frequently vote on sites and ask me to follow them. Normally I would ignore that but I went to the profile and saw things that she liked that interested me. So I added her. Then 5 minutes later I get an email that said she couldn’t add me to follow for some technical reason. I delisted her.
Why bother to send people a message if you aren’t serious about following them as well? Why play games? Or better yet, figure out why you can’t add people and then contact the new guy.

The install of Lion erased my hosts and conf files but the reason my web sharing would not work seems to be that I was running Lasso Professional 8 web server on my machine. I don’t think it’s Lion compatible yet. I disabled Lasso and it’s working fine now… save for the fact that I have to recreate my hosts and conf files.
