There has been no defection,
But I lost my connection –
My internet
Got slower yet,
Until there was rejection.
To lack of blog selection
There came no quick correction;
Though lights were on
The net was gone,
Which led to much dejection.
In fact, all day my computer kept loading the first two of some 40 outstanding emails before bombing out each time, with the result that I ended up with strings of duplicates of those first two. Add to this a car which refused to start, and a torrential downpour just when I picked young R from school, and I think it is safe to say I have known better days …
Then this fine fellow took up residence under the house, to the stridently vocal fury of MacGregor. He was extremely happy to come out and be stroked when it wasn’t raining, though. I took the picture to advertise round the neighbourhood, but in the late afternoon got a phone call from our new next-door neighbour to apologise for having trespassed by climbing over the wall to reclaim it. I didn’t think he seemed like a cat person, with four large dogs, but I was wrong. We now know where Merlin belongs if he visits us again.
I’m having problems too, have to restart the modem several times and internet explorer keeps on bombing on me 😦
At least you helped one lost cat to find his way back.

I got fed up with IE and switched to Firefox. Then I found that certain applications work better on IE so now I use both.

Enjoyed firefox until it clashed with my HP printer software so now I am back with IE.

Does it clash whether or not you are using it? Handy to have for some applications.

This crazy weather has been the cause of lots of problems. My tv aerial has been blown off course and I’m still waiting for the tv man to come and sort it out. He cannot work when it’s raining.
At least our roof has been fixed, so that’s a consolation.

Merlin the magic cat – I have one of those that wanders to my garden every so often. Don’t know his name though, and Chaplin, the big black cat sorts the visitor out sharpish. I then have to listen to the sorting out cacophony. Never a fun exercise, and even less so at 2 am…
As for the rest of your day – there will be days like that, to quote the immortal, is it Cat Stevens? Or some such…

Commiserations Col, I had my fair share of connectivity problems and spam emails last week. My laptop still loses it’s wireless connection at least once a day necessitating a reboot.

I would have thought that the visit to the dentist would have been first on your list of ‘awfuls’. What a day! Glad that Merlin was claimed, but I bet he’ll be around for some more stroking, before long. 🙂

😀 Sorry to laugh but if we carry on like this, people will start thinking this country has no connectivity whatsoever! I’m finally up and running again. Hope you can say the same as well, really soon. At least I understand your pain

Well, recently connectivity between braincells of certain of our citizens has been sadly lacking, hasn’t it?
It is really most annoying when one finally makes time for the computer, and the computer has no time for one!

The reason is firstly that they are going into spam, (your address is treated with suspicion) and then when yanked out they still have to be approved. Crazy system!
