This has nothing really to do with my art. But, since this problem has been plaguing me for about a month now, I wanted to share the answer.
Ever since I joined twitter, I have been having a problem with actually reaching the site. Why, I really still don't understand, but today after trying all day long to reach twitter and receiving an error that looks like this (the numbers keep changing, but the error was still the same)
Invalid URL
The requested URL "/", is invalid.
Reference #9.d5ea8acf.1251828932.0
I decided to try to figure this out once and for all. No one else seems to realize twitter was down, so I figured it had to be my system. 3 different browsers gave me the same error. Clearing the cache did not fix it. So I turned to google for help. After browsing through many pages, I finally found one that resolved the problem for me. Apparently the problem is that Windows makes a DNS cache on your system to make things faster. So in order to fix this, you need to do a DNS cache flush. I found this article on how to do it (and explaining it) and I did it and like magic, twitter was working again! :)
Hope this is helpful to someone. I'm posting it here again so I know where to find the link so I can fix it again in the future. :)
