I started thinking about this because I recently added a couple of videos from ‘The Onion’ web site. I thought they were pretty humorous. But today, I noticed that when I went to my site, the embedded flash player for the Onion did not display. I went in and edited the entries, replacing the embed code and still they would not display or play properly. I checked my version of Adobe Flash and it was the latest. The embedded You Tube videos, and the comedy central one all displayed and played normally. Finally, on a hunch, I disabled Adblock Plus and Voila… The video’s reappeared. So, now I am slowly looking through the filters on Adblock Plus and comparing them to the embed code for the ‘Onion” videos. In the mean time, I have set Adblock Plus to ‘disabled’ for larryc.com. It’s safe for you to do so also, I have no advertising, just plugs for my favorite sites and software.

On another topic, I have come to the conclusion that my old email address must bite the dust. That is my oldest Email address. When domain names were first opened to the general public, I grabbed larryc.net. I wanted larryc.com, but it wasn’t available. That was back in 1997 or 98, can’t remember now. Well the .com domain became available a few years later so I grabbed it also. Then, just to be sure, I also bought the .org domain. But now, sadly, my original email address has been around long enough that I mainly see spam on it. So, beginning tomorrow, I am deleting . You can still contact me at my .com address but my oldest Email address is history.
