I blame ryanlim

what does it do?

just shows loads my plurk page with no plurks - the loading screen shows forever.

status bar says 'Waiting for comet05.plurk.com…'

comet is used for push notifications (long lived http sessions). it usually will not load anything until there are new plurks

long polling FTW!

yeah, all the friggin time I get this, either comet03 or 05

does it work on other browsers?

yes

hmm can't really read that one.. oh well.
