Haven't had 'loop' for a wee while… this one is relatively tame. Now. A few days back, not so much.
Regulars,
thank you for the support through continued comments; for yes, it was the
etherwobblies which nearly sent me over the edge. I will not bore you with details, all present
are used to such things I am sure.
This one
turned out to be a tad odd however as it was all tied in with the download of
update on antiviral software - and which is now blocking me from using my
beloved Chrome browser!!! Yesterday at
the provider store things were set right - we thought, but when I got back and
dove straight online to catch up, was told in no uncertain terms "WEB PAGE
UNAVAILABLE".
Nonsense. Or words akin to that.
Finally,
following the nose, as one must, some small print detail winkled its way into
my awareness and hinted at the possibility that the AV s/w firewall or similar
could be creating some issue.
Needless
to say, am still trying to work that one out…
So this
arrives having been (hopefully) posted via the (what seems to me now) draconian
Internet Explorer. Chrome is slick, it
is pretty and it moves fast (when connections comply). Today, IE was trundling along like a surrey
with a fringe on top.
So you
still do not have a full and meaningful post to give you a giggle or tickle
your logicator, but I did want to get this off my noggin and set the record
straight. As wonderful as all this techo
stuffs be, it really hit home how much I have found myself relying on it being
present. Absence nearly tore the heart
out. That was Sunday. By Monday I was regaining self-control not to
say a modicum of self-respect. By
Tuesday, when it refused to crank up at all, I was resigned to a night of
additional study. Thoroughly enjoyed
myself. Got ahead of the game. Hhhmmmmm…
But this
is the 21st century. The computer and
associated connections are not going away.
As one migrates back into the 'outside' very soon, this will not only be
a toy of stress relief, it must become a tool of service.
Hopefully
the products in OZ/UK will prove more reliable.
Or am I
in lala land???
I Love
you all with that capital 'ell' and thank you again for seeing it through. Tomorrow it gets better - there's something
on the meNu!!!
I'm so old I can get by with having books to read. But if I have nothing to read, watch out!
ReplyDeleteRight now the TV in the living room isn't working. It's the TV that records our favourite shows for us to watch at our convenience, and my husband is seriously put out. He didn't even ask my permission before promising the service provider that I'd be home tomorrow afternoon when a techie is coming to look at it.
What if I wanted to get my hair cut? HE got HIS hair cut yesterday without warning me.
Men. Just be glad all your Meno-whatevers don't have husbands. Tee hee.
Luv, K
The first picture reminded me of you and Jade. When I would visit she would greet me at the door, and take me to your office room. Some rumblings from Jade, that mum was not that happy, as this Internet was playing up again. And she would sit like the dog in the picture watching you, mmmmm having a go t it. ( sorry had to choose my words carefully). So all I have to do is replace Jade dogs pic with the dog watching, and your pic sitting on the chair. The expressions I am afraid remain the same.
ReplyDeleteTake care my dear.
interesting...
ReplyDeletethanks

ReplyDeletesigh... thank you all...today is not a huge improvement - at least am on Chrome, but it is dragging its heels like a dog headed for the vet's! Oh well...
Kay - I knew I made the right decision! ;-)
Mahal - BOL! xx
Ouch! As another Chrome lover I feel your pain, Yam. Have you checked that you have the latest version of Chrome, in case that makes a difference. I know it normally updates itself without us noticing, but it's just a thought.....
ReplyDeleteHere's to restoration of full service before long.

ReplyDeleteThanks Perpetua, but the trubs seem mainly to stem from this updated antivirus s/w - never mind that the dongle connection has never been all that strong anyway...sigh. Still fighting on though. YAM xx
