If you got any of those references, you'll probably enjoy my blog. If you got most of those references? You'll totally love my blog. Its also fairly safe for work with the occasional exception.

Please feel free and heavily encouraged to re-blog anything I've posted. Re-blogging is like a round of applause IMHO, really makes me happy to see my stuff re-blogged; even if I myself re-blogged it from someone else. Likes are good too, but they're like a thumbs up. Applause trumps a thumbs up, you know?

Favorite Things as Evidenced by the Introduction are (In No Particular Order): Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica (modern), Firefly, Batman, Superman, DC Comics, Ghostbusters, Terminator, Cats, My Autographs, old school Star Wars (the prequels suck!), Pretty Genre Gals, Funny Stuff ... and my gods I Sound like a Loser with that List! Oh Well.

Also, I Don't Post a Lot. I'm Much More of a Quality over Quantity type. Usually less than Ten Posts a Day. So you may have to Really Look through your Dash to Notice what I post.

Oh, also a note for my fellow Trekkies: I'm the guy responsible for TrekCore.com's Rare Photo and Ultimately Human specials, and basically flooding the internet via TrekCore with a few thousand awesome and rare Star Trek photos for the past 5 years. So... yeah. Oh and, go through my Archive, it is frakking awesome and shiny!

So… I need some help here with Tumblr from the community at large.  Because I am clearly not going to get the help I need from actual Tumblr support.

The other day, I got that annoying pop-up about using missing e.  Now I do not use it and never have, but I got it anyway.  I do however use greasemonkey, which is a browser extension that has scripts which work for tumblr. 

So at first I just clicked “OK” (checked the box first) but the pop-up would not go away.  So I clicked it a bunch more, then clicked the “Uninstall” option.  Nothing made it go away.  I tried clicking back and re-entering and… nada.  Pop-up just totally blocked me and no matter what I clicked, it would not go away.

So… today, I come on and no pop-up.  But, when I go past about 10 posts or so on my dash, the “Loading more posts” thing will often (8 out of 10 times) just hang.  It won’t actually load.  And likewise, if I click to “like” a post it will not like it but scroll up my dash randomly. 

If I turn off greasemonkey (and my scripts) then Tumblr will work properly. 

But greasemonkey is not missing e.  So why would it trigger that pop-up?  And further more, why would the script extension program like greasemonkey spontaneously begin causing glitches for the first time only in the immediate wake of my clicking the “Continue Using Missing E” option of that pop-up?  It seems rather damn suspicious, if you ask me. 

While I don’t using missing e, I know Tumblr hates it with a passion.  Anyone on Tumblr knows as much, because they’ve done everything they can to make people stop using it. 

So to folks using either missing e or greasemonkey… is anyone else suddenly having problems?

Does anyone else find it curious and suspicious that I had no errors at all until after I told Tumblr I would keep using missing e (even though I am not using such)?

It’s enough to make me paranoid and think that Tumblr has actually programmed ‘glitches’ to effect anyone who says they’ll use missing e just to spite them and make them think it’s the problem.

Help?
