I have several reasons for doing so.

First, it’s too expensive for me to live here. I earn $7.50/hr at my job. Here studio apartments start in the $700/mo range. Tucson they are around $350-400 range. Sometimes even less than that.

Second, my friend isn’t the same person he was before he got married. He has become someone I’m not sure I can call my best friend. That and I’ve come to hate his wife. She treats me like garbage. Several times I’ve become so angry that I came very close to attacking her.

Third, I’m very tired of living 15 miles outside of town and having to rely on others to drive me into town. I’m feeling trapped when I have a day off work. At least in Tucson I can hop on a bus and go places to get out of the house.

I recently moved from Arizona to Virginia. I haven’t had much time. I’ve been trying to catch up with emails I’ve received and reading blog comments.

I’ve gotten a few emails regarding the beta not working on Internet Explorer. I’m aware of that, I just can’t figure out why IE isn’t asking for referrer information from the plugin.

I’ve also received a few emails and blog comments regarding the newest version of WordPress. I know the plugin isn’t working with it. I haven’t investigated it yet.

Another thing, I received an email from a sysadmin for a hosting company. It appears the plugin is causing some problems.

Quote from the email

Hi,

I am the sysadmin for a hosting company in the UK and we are seeing severe problems at the moment caused by the wp-translate plugin. After tracing the process, I was able to determine that Google was rejecting the connection. The plugin was then going into an infinite loop continuously trying to connect to Google and failing every time. This would only end when our webserver software was forcibly terminating the process for going over the sandbox limits.

So far the only way we can prevent this is to disable the plugin completely. This probably wouldn’t be as much of a problem if it wasn’t for Google attempting to also index the website and requesting translations of every single page on the site…

Just thought you should know. We will be informing all our customers using the plugin that we are disabling it and to check your site for updates. Ideally, in the case of a failure by the translation engine it should just gracefully die instead of trying to kill the webserver :)
