Internet molasses
Ugh. Can't get anything done when the internet is slow. I started off thinking that it was the other end, I know that the servers for some sites I frequent have been funny lately. But now I've had to change my thoughts on that. The whole thing is slow today, which means it's somewhere on my end. And I mean really slow, it can take more than a minute to load pages that are already cached and I'm (supposedly) on high speed wireless Now just to figure out where the problems are.
I'm on wireless, but I'm getting a decent signal, so that's not it. So we can start from the connection leading into the coffee shop, then out to phone company and DNS servers and then I don't know where.
But to throw another wrench into the equation... the store computer has DSL and my streaming radio keeps breaking up. NOw that could be upload problems on their end, but coupled with my own problems today...
And I've been trying to get the bumpersticker of today up since about 10 this morning, and it is just after noon right now. I've been leaving the latest attempt uploading for probably 45 minutes now, and since the image button in the create post section has never worked for me I can only rely on hello to do it.
Speaking of bugs in the system... I had funny disappearing text problems on this blog last week. Once the entire post was gone except for the title, the rest of the time the last paragraph or two would disappear. I even went as far as putting a test line in at the end of friday's post, but it never appeared. And I will put in a test line today as well, so if it's not there then I still have the same problems.
So we heard that Peter Jennings died last night. Sad to hear. Personally I was always a fan of Tom Brokaw, but Jennings was a great journalist and I'm sure he will be sorely missed in the news reporting community.
We also heard this morning that the shuttle landing was delayed because of bad weather over florida. Next chance is California, and if it's still bad.... White Sands!
We also have a presidential visit in Albuquerque today. Oh boy, big news. He's expected to sign the energy legislation out here. But last I checked a lot of people out here weren't happy with that bill, so I wonder how THAT will go over. Of course that's just what we'd expect this guy to do, go to the blue section of a purple state, to sign a red bill... Joy.
So on to the test...

Have you tried a spyware sweep lately? Probably not the main problem, but could help a little. Usually when spyware is clogging up your computer everything can run slow.
