A Disturbance in the Force
Hello all,
I started reading the Wave series on the cassiopaea website again, but when I tried to read the chapter 3 (http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/wave_iii.htm)
it goes fine until it reaches a point where it all become gibberish.
I know that my connection is pretty baaaaaaaad to say the least (shared dial-up) but I never came by an HTML document being corrupted that way.
I usually can or cannot download the document at all, or if incomplete, it just does not finish downloading and the document ends abruptly, but I never seen
such corruption of data. I emptied my cache/history/cookies/etc, restart firefox, but still the gibberish is there and is the same...
it does not change from a loading to the next...
Here is a short example of what I see:
--------------SNIP-----------------
"This is an example of one of the ways in which the adventure can begin. A blunder - apparently the merest chance - reveals an unsuspected world, and the individual is drawn into a relationship with forces that are not rightly understood. The blunder may amount to the opening of a destiny. Thus it happens, in this fairy tale, that the disappearance of the ball is the first sign of something coming for the princess, the frog is the second, and the unconsidered promise is the third. ...The frog, the little dragon, is the nursery counterpart of the underworld serpent whose hed supports the earth and who represents the life-progenitive, demiurgic powers of the abyss." [Campbell, 1949]
How does this relate to our subject?

Is there a problem with the site ? or with my connection ?
