    The programmers at Site Meter must not realize that there are no weekends off when you provide a service to thousands, tens of thousands or more people around the world. Someone will have a lump in their throat once they know they have caused an issue effecting all of their java based users.

    i guess blogsdna was unaffected by this i haven’t seen any traffic drop (which might be coz my readers are mostly firefox one :P ) and i am using old sitemeter script this might be due to newer sitemeter code.. need to check it.

Note: We discourage users from using keywords in their names while posting comments, most of them get caught by spam, also it really would be more fruitful in knowing people who comment by their real name, rather than by using a name no one relates to. In future we reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
