Across the Congo

2010-11-16 04:49:21.711672+01 by Dan Lyke 5 comments

Driving a Land Cruiser across Africa: Democratic Republic of Congo: Lubumbashi to Kinshasa. Worth reading for the adventure story, but also for the perspective on government and society.

Well, Safari on my desktop did the same thing when it saw that the pasted URL was wrapping until I wrapped it up in HTML (which changed the line-wrap).

It looked like the iPad put a newline in the middle of the pasted URL. I think the solution is to just go for the laptop earlier.

Actually, I think it's a Safari thing. I had to go into HTML mode to get the URL in. That might help you troubleshoot it to see if you can make a workaround.

Freakin' iPad. Sorry, thanks, Dave, it's fixed now.

That link seems as though it got chopped off. Looks like it should be this.
