Day 49 - I was right

Every woman loves to say that and I couldn’t resist putting it in the blog now that it has happened.  The Internet broke last night.  And I predicted it - back on Day 13.  I wasn’t very specific about my prediction in terms of time or duration (I actually thought there would be an extended outage) - but all seems to be up and running again today.  Hubby just pointed out, my victory is hollow as it was only a Swiss outage and only for our provider.  He really doesn’t like it when I am right.

Some other things to note since my last post, I dutifully completed cleaning out my closet with all remaining clothes that spark joy either hanging or standing vertically on the shelves.  I also finished “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn which was a must-read for Book Clubs, before I joined a Book Club.  So everyone had read it already and now I am catching up.  Time to re-watch the movie!

Social Distancing

Co playdate with a classmate yesterday and today.  Hubby went to the physiotherapist for his back.  I went to the pharmacy and Chinese takeout place.

Health Status

Everyone healthy.

Fiendish Friday: The Internet is Down Again

Fiendish Friday: The Internet is Down Again

A guest post on a blog I follow reminded me this morning of one of the funniest moment’s in my tech career. Lots of serious things happened over the years. A server farm crashing enough disks that an entire 3 year research project was gone. (I got it back from tape.) The CFO who asked me if I enjoyed spending my time on my knees under people’s desks. (yes, full ick factor there) Collecting…

Contrary to what their advert states, this company is not 'doing us proud'. In fact, they are driving me slowly but surely mad. Intermittent phone, occasional internet signal that the laptops won't even load half the time, operators telling me the faults showing all clear at their end, two engineers saying the line is full of faults, but I've mended that now, should be fine... o how I wish there was an alternative to landline based internet. There is a company that offers internet via radio waves but they arent yet in our area. The company that is charges triple, so we are keen to wait. But even that seems tempting now. Our internet speed is about 0.50mbps, so slow you wouldn't believe it... but I would be glad of it if it came back 😁 Whats really galling is sitting in phone queues for nearly an hour and repeating the same thing over and over again. Im thinking modern technology is really a Big Experiment to see how far they can push us all till we go mad. Give me till Friday and I'll be there 😨 Meanwhile. On a brighter note. New accessories are coming along nicely. I have no internet to list anything, but I am lucky enough to have a good friend who has let me use her kitchen table. I may well be there for some time on 1st September (made to order opens) if I'm not back online at home. Better take tea bags... and a sleeping bag... #faerysteps #studio #shoemaking #lovehatetechnology #brokeninternet
