Quack!

That's what my computer says: "Quack". Even the Web-dept. says so. "Quack" and then off to some Jumbo Jet Airplane sounds. At that point I shut the computer down. OR I take whatever I'm currently working on with me into the dept. kitchen. To work in comparatively peace & quiet. Not possible if I have to use the computer. No.

"Quack - it sounds like you have Donald Duck in here" she said, the very helpful lady from the Web dept. It did. Unfortunately when she was there she never got to hear the Jumbo Jet Airplane take off from my office. Only the quacking noice. Typical. But she agreed that something had to be done. We are now waiting for a new box for the net/electricity to come. I think that will do the trick.

She sounded real funny when she said "Hey M, you've got Donald Duck in here!"

Ftp-problem

Yesterdays problem with the transferral of the html-files was solved - Yay! Seemed like the firewall was blocking the ftp-program I am using. So all I had to do was to turn off the firewall during the time I transferred the missing file ... but so Annoying! But at least now I know where the problem lies. (i.e not me being the ignoramus!) I have experienced that at times Age - or whatever it is - doesn't agree with my brain, or vice versa! This time the problem wasn't me ...

Double "Yay!"

Back in business!

I am back at work - and I am not especially thrilled! This morning I got up at 05.50 am. A wee bit early even for me, as I don't have to be in until 07 am. But S got up at that time - and as I am already awake... Hey - and I do get some compensation time! Which is good! First day went without any major mishaps. A variety of things that had to be done today though - they do tend to "save it for M". Hm!!

I have had 2 x 2 weeks off and already looking forward to next summer. Nothing new about that.

This will be short - have to tamper with my website/ftp that doesn't do as I say! I know I will be busy the rest of the evening... Would love to take a class in website publishing! I do want all of my "oldies" out there - not just part of them... Keep your fingers crossed! It is sooooo annoying when it doesn't do what it's told, isn't it!
