Not much to say of late. I'm still at home and i've been working on the farm this summer; getting hay mowed and stuff. The need for a personal means of transportation has led me to attempt to get my brother's old motorcycle running and road worthy. We will see how it turns out.
This leads me to the real reason for my post: 4chan. Those who know me, know that i have been known to, in my free time, frequent certain imageboards on 4chan. Until about a month ago everything was fine. I could go anywhere i need to go on the site. But that all changed, suddenly i was unable to visit any board hosted on zip.4chan.org. When i attempted to, it would always return an "infinite redirect" error and give up on loading the page. Well, after some digging, i discovered a few days ago on an Australian forum a post reguarding this problem. It said that if you ever have trouble accessing certain boards, you should search for a file on your computer called "hosts" (I later discovered this is located in C:/WINDOWS/System32) and once you find it, you should open it in notepad and look for any lines related to 4chan. Well, there it was, a line for the boards i could access, bin.4chan.org (which would fail to load any zip.4chan.org page). The post instructed me to delete this line and then save the file. Instructions followed, and many happy views of the problem boards later and i decided to post my discovery to the internet in hopes it will benefit some other unlucky individual.
Until next time.
