Shakespeare quote

Tomorrow, April 24, 1564, we commemorate William Shakespeare's 460th birthday. 

Shakespeare quote of the day...

"An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made."

This was from the extended cut of Shakespeare's director commentary. 
He was really ahead of his time. Above is the modern English version. Here is what he actually said...

An ssl 'rr'r hast did occur and a secureth connection to the s'rv'r cannot beest madeth.  fie! cometh h're and englut mine own coxcomb thee distemperate blinking idiot

Well, I suppose it is good they let me know that they couldn't open it, but why? or perhaps what else could I try?

Blogger Error Message

This error message appeared while using blogger.


Overall the message was very good, especially because it include the error code, which will help them track down the specific problem.

The one area that is lacking is how to report the error to Blogger Support. I am sure it could be googled.

Crash screens

Here is the screen on Apple machines.

Here is the crash screen on a Windows machine.

By offering the simple communication, "You need to restart your computer." and the simple instruction, "Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again." this user at least has a sense of what to do going forward.

Pop-over: Cannot Open Page

During a phone call, you cannot surf the web, and this is the message that appears when you try.

The error was: "A data connection cannot be established since a call is currently active.".
