Perhaps today wasn't the best choice for getting a jumpstart on online holiday shopping. Several sites I've trying to order from are melting down, including some suprises like Land's End, which is coughing back error messages like a bad cold.
It's kind of fun hypothesizing backward from a failure, guessing at how a site is constructed. Some sites make that entirely too easy, coughing back raw ODBC errors. Hardly sporting, that.
turn the crank on the screwjack of progress hoping that nobody gets
screwed.
