Somehow I didn’t know that Troy Holden has a tumblr. It’s full of gems like this breathtaking shot of local pigeon whisperer Swan, and I don’t know why he isn’t racking up thousands of “likes” per post. Go follow him, if you’re into this internet stuff.
Be sure to check out the documentary on Swan, while you’re at it.
Neither of those links goes to a Tumblr site; they go to troyholden.com.
It’s a tumblr. troyholden.tumblr.com and troyholden.com both direct you to tumblr. If you’re logged in to tumblr, you should see the follow buttons on the top right.
Nope. If you do this in Firefox (sorry, I can’t be bothered to try any other browser other than IE for Netflix and Iron for porn), you get troyholden.com and NO “follow” link. Believe me, I would LIKE to follow Troy on Tumblr, but it seems that he does not want me to follow him.
I get it on FF — are you sure you’re logged in?
One should see the Tumblr buttons signed in or not. Clicking them while logged out should simply result in one being prompted to sign in.
Yes, I am very sure. Totally logged-in. Please don’t worry about it — it’s not that big a deal.
Funny, I clicked the link in Firefox and tumblr’s “follow” and “dashboard” icons loaded immediately on the right hand side.
I even tried typing troyholden.com in a separate FF tab, just in case a tumblr site suddenly stopped behaving like a tumblr site when redirected via a vanity URL – but the CSS seems sound, and I can’t find any bugs in the code or CSS that would produce the behavior you are seeing.
Maybe you need to upgrade the browser or check your plugins?
Not working. My browser is fine. Plugins — WTF?! WHAT THE FUCK would plugins have to do with a basic page link working across various browsers? Go home or fix it, fuckwad.
All you SF Tumblrers (Tumblees?) should support a blogging service from our own city by switching to Posterous.
I refuse to support anything that emanates from 16th & Mission. Can’t be good.
Point taken. Would you reconsider if they got a bigger office in SOMA?
As long as it was at least a couple of blocks away from 16th & Mission.
I would prefer that you folks not fret over my inability to access this site on Tumblr; if you can get it, good, if you can’t get it, then I can’t help you.
Frankly, I don’t care all that much, anymore, because I hate Swan with all my heart for all the material harm he has done to the Mission with his filthy pigeon breeding.
I followed your Tumblr page just now. If you go to http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/crankyoldmissionguy you should see ‘troy holden started following you’ near the top.
Oddly, even following the link from “troy holden started following you” to your page did not cause a “follow” button to appear on your page. I was only able to start following you by going to my “followers” page and clicking the “follow” button there.
Get a falcon, and take care of it yourself!
BUT I HAVE SPENT ALL WEEKEND OBSESSING OVER THIS VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM
GG CALLED ME A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM!!! LOL
I worked near where the “pigeon whisperer” frequented and if throwing rice to pigeons is some way of helping them to get to their afterlife, then this jackass is doing a great deal to help kill the local bird population.
Rice doesn’t kill birds.

Sadly. On the other hand, if you throw pure sodium to them…
Today is John Ratliff’s 71st BIRTHDAY! That’s Swan, now “the pigeon whisperer.” HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN.
