I’ve just noticed that some of the links I had placed in the last couple of posts were triggering the Lightbox plug in I use for viewing Images and was screwing up the links. The reason this happened is that I’ve been using a beta version of ecto which allows you to insert additional tags into Image links, but unfortunately with the last update it seems to have started putting those tags into normal links as well.Of course it’s my own fault for not having checked those links, but anyway apologies to those who’ve been reading recently and have been frustrated.

Incidentally, those people visiting from the Macrumors story please note that the link they have is escaped incorrectly. Wordpress, the system I use on my blog unfortunately takes the title literally and makes the url out of it, inverted commas and all. It seems as though when Macrumors was linking to it, whatever system they are using has interpreted those as smart quotes, which is a different unix escape sequence than straight inverted commas and is sending to the wrong URL. I can’t change the url now because numerous other sites are linking too, but I’ve emailed them and asked them if they could fix it.

Thanks everyone for your patience.
