Hi everyone - if you are having problems with being redirected to ads when you are on this blog, may I suggest installing an ad blocker?
The Cosmic Avenger advised me that I might have a virus on this blog. I had been having problems with go.goadvs.com, but thought sitemeter.com had changed their business model. I had IT look at my work computer (huge fear - I somehow through my personal stuff bring horrible viruses into the work system) and they could find nothing. IT advised installing an ad blocker and it has been working so far.
I apologize for any problems you might be having. I use sitemeter.com to watch the blog stats. Sitemeter has awful ads and I don't know how it all got connected, but -- an ad blocker is seeming to do the trick.
Thanks, Cosmic Avenger, for advising me that the problem was bigger than just me.
A lagniappe from work. Being married to Primo has prepared me for working with engineers. (I love engineers. No. Drama.)
Engineer conversation at lunch:
E1, showing photo of odometer taken at 100,000: Look!
E2: You should have waited until 100,001.
E1: Why?
E2: Because then it would have been symmetrical.
E1: I have a photo at 99,999, too.
E2: You need to wait until it has your initials in binary code.
E1: There are not enough spaces for that.

fwiw, I haven't noticed at all because I have adblock plus installed already. However, it's currently reporting that it's blocked 5 ads on this page (comments section), and I have it set to allow non-intrusive ads.

But I don't have any advertising! That's so weird. Glad the blocker is working.
DeleteYea I'm seeing 3 or 4 ads being blocked also but it also depends on how and if you're using a tracker blocker also.
DeleteIt looks to me like the "ads" are more like placeholders on the page because the formatting on the right side changes just a bit when I turn the ad blocker off and on.
Ah, yes, some sites insert transparent "images" and track when they're loaded, that's probably what they are.
DeleteI watch for the symmetric or repeating readings on my odometer. Close to 166166.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Primo had to throw away some flowers in my little test tube vase - a series of five test tubes next to each other. "I left a flower in position 2 and one in position 4," he said, "so it would be symmetrical."
DeleteI was told that when you have less than a dozen flowers in a vase they should be an odd number.
DeleteI use an adblocker, but for some reason I had turned it off. Luckily, I also block scripts from unknown domains, so when I got redirected to go.goadvs.com, nothing loaded.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, glad to help!
