I DO BELIEVE MY BRAIN IS TURNING INTO SILLY PUTTY

Suddenly I realized that the camera alone will frustrate me even more because I currently have no way to move photos from a card to a blog. Even the most basic software is on my computer. The Wi-Fi here barely has enough bandwidth to hook up my phone. I just figured out how to turn … Continue reading I DO BELIEVE MY BRAIN IS TURNING INTO SILLY PUTTY

FINALLY, A MODEM THAT WORKS

We said we needed a new modem. Charter said we didn't. I finally convinced someone in the tech department to at least make sure the guy came with a new one loaded on the truck. Voila! It took a little convincing, but finally, we're getting 320 mbs download speed and it stopped dropping out. It … Continue reading FINALLY, A MODEM THAT WORKS

MADNESS I TELL YOU, IT’S MADNESS

I just spent the past couple of hours trying to find out why the technician from Spectrum/Charter didn't show up. Why they have a phone number under my name that was disconnected more than 15 years ago. As far as I know, no one is using that number or, if they are, it ain't us. … Continue reading MADNESS I TELL YOU, IT’S MADNESS

ELECTION, FEVER & AGGRAVATION

No, it's not a fever about the election. It's an actual fever, which I never run. I can't even figure out why I'm running a fever. It's like fever is the only symptom. Maybe it really is the election. This is "it" for me. I'm not paying any further attention to politics. I can't fix … Continue reading ELECTION, FEVER & AGGRAVATION

LOATHING THE CLOUD

When this whole “cloud” thing started to “come of age” — maybe ten years ago give or take a few years? — I said “How much do YOU trust your ISP?” Everyone laughed at me. I was so old-fashioned. The thing is, I knew we have a crappy ISP -- Charter/Spectrum -- and we can’t … Continue reading LOATHING THE CLOUD

THE HELL OF GETTING HACKED

Another rerun that's strangely timely -- from earlier this year (but I forgot I published it, so you problem don't remember reading it) -- this was Fandango’s Provocative Question #127 Let me start with a rerun of the post I wrote when we got hacked in 2018. Not surprisingly, it was called "HACKED." Actually, there were … Continue reading THE HELL OF GETTING HACKED

IT’S HOT & CHARTER IS DOWN

Trying to post anything has been really difficult. Yesterday, it went from cool and comfortable to really, really hot. I think it might also be humid, but frankly, it's so damned hot who can tell? It's not that the Wi-Fi goes down and stays down. It's that it goes on and off a dozen or … Continue reading IT’S HOT & CHARTER IS DOWN
