Title: small spaces, decorated
Post by: Amanda_931 on March 24, 2006, 01:27:03 AM
A (fancy--if occasionally affordable) mail-order furniture place, along with treehugger, is having a contest in which people are photographing their small apartments/places.  One gal has a dog and a handful of parrots, although as far as I've seen, there's a lot of cleaned up and minimalist places there.  Comments are posted.

kind of fun to browse.

Nicely done site and clever contest. Unfortunately I couldn't get any of the links to the apartments to produce anything but blank screens (tried three different browsers).

I got it to work here at work through our firewall and network settings.

Interesting... tonight I am able to get the apartment pages to load. But they only stay on for a split second and then back to a white screen (that says done on the loading). I can hit F5 (refresh) and get it to flash again but it won't stick.

Weird  :-?

Opps! It's a IE problem  :). I just copied the URL into Firefox and it works fine (didn't yesterday however).

I didn't have any problem at all with IE just now.  Al though things are loading like molasses in January because I'm also downloading a program update.

(it's a West Coast thing??)

Let's see now--

Pacific Northwest is the home of Microsoft.

We've been hearing that the various divisions of Microsoft are quarreling.

Therefore John's IE problem must be the product of inter-division warfare at Microsoft.

It's only logical.

::)

;D

Looks like my close friend and neighbor Bill Gates  :D must have solved the problem.

Clicking on the apartment links works fine this morning on both IE and Maxthon (an IE build-out) browsers.

Thanks Bill for taking care of that last nigh while I slept.  ;)


BTW - there are some very good small house design and decorating ideas in this contest.
