**Update**
Okay, I still get this behavior, but it has something to do with this instance of Chrome vs. another. Which likely implies it has to do with cookies or something.  

I realized this after starting chrome with another profile.

It seems to me that cached and recent content works fine, but I haven't been able to — for example — load [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4096477/c-library-to-resize-an-image-with-content-aware-scaling-algorithm) all day today. Also, the markdown editor isn't working here, and I can't load any of the actual rooms on `chat.meta.stackoverflow.com`. Merge this if someone else is talking about the issues.

PS I'm on Chrome in a building full of networks in NYC.
