WordPress has automatically updated the app I use on my iPod, and as a result I can’t answer comments on my own blog. The app pauses for about 2 seconds after each character you type. This makes the process ridiculously slow and frustrating.
The way the app now functions reminds me of this old Soviet joke about a man from Japan visiting Moscow in 1982. This businessman was stuck at the reception desk of some official and listened for 30 minutes to the official yelling behind closed doors, “Vladivostok!!! Are you there??? I can’t hear you! Speak to me, Vladivostok!”
The Japanese tourist listened to this vociferation for a while and finally asked the secretary, “I’m sorry, ma’am, but why doesn’t he call Vladivostok on the phone instead?”
And if you don’t understand the joke, you need to read my blog more often.
