Harvard is because they use their own SSL cert
aloaha is a timestamp service

Sometimes it is because they give some sort of failed response code
but deliver the page anyway.
 
Sometimes I sort out what screwy thing they are doing (e.g. circular
redirects) and write, but they almost never correct the problem.

In the days of the telephone, if you attached some device that was not
behaving according to spec the telephone company would demand you
disconnect it, and when you did they would reconnect service.  There
seems to be no equivalent in the Internet world.

For me, the appeal of computer progamming is that
even though I am quite a klutz,
I can still produce something, in a sense
perfect, because the computer gives me as many
chances as I please to get it right.
