Sorry I Broke the CBC !
November 2, 2007 · Print This Article
While I was looking around for info on the Chalmers “retirement” on InsideTheCBC the official blog of the CBC (they had no information on it) I think I broke something.
Sorry, just my usual bull-in-a-china-shop-self I guess (click the thumbnail for an image you can actually read).
I really like the “fix this problem yourself” bit.
I guess it’s supposed to be a Web 2.0 thing, you know, empower the user.
But it reads more like “hey asshole, you broke it, you fix it”.
Wait now.
The more I think of it, maybe they should migrate this over to the main CBC.CA site for people to use when they write-in about shows they don’t like.
You know, something quick, simple and easy:

Got something to say?
Robert, this is a little unfair, don’t you think?
Since you run Wordpress yourself, you know very well that the message you saw there not written by myself or the CBC. They are hard-coded into Wordpress, the blog/CMS package I use for InsideTheCBC.com.
Errors on web servers happen when the server is under heavy traffic.
But to imply that the CBC or I wrote this text is misleading.

Hey Tod,
Wasn’t slagging you for writing it - in any event - I don’t think its WordPress - must be something with your service provider.
I thought the whole thing was quite funny actually - and wonder what happens when you actually do try to ‘fix this problem yourself”.
(btw: I added the check box thingee AFTER Tod’s comments)
