My community is over-the-mountain ...Oh, I HEAR you! My community is over-the-mountain from the Annapolis Valley where most of the population is, and a local cable television provider has brought wireless highspeed internet in here because the big mainstream providers will never come in for a few dozen lowly customers. Only thing is, the past few days something has gone wrong--only at my house. The consultant was here most of the afternoon, tried swapping out units, checked everything with his own computer, went into the programming...and tomorrow he and the owner are going to the tower that beams the signal here, and they will get to the bottom of it all. Meanwhile, I'm running at just over dialup speed and disconnected my router so hubby has NO internet on his computer, and is pouting! But my hat is off to my provider--I'm the only one having this problem (and it's not my computers or router) yet he's determined to take his day off to get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile, I just work while I wait for things to load.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107236871193698777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-72019785805526652662008-04-11T09:32:00.000-05:002008-04-11T09:32:00.000-05:00I'm so addicted to the Internet it's crazy.

It saves posts automatically. There have been times when I would have been more than a little upset if I lost the whole post, I never think to save as I work! My computer likes to crash constantly, but I'm usually able to get it back online again. This time it took longer than usual. <BR/><BR/>Kathi- I know! It's not like there's much else to do. There's only so much cleaning and organizing a person can do.<BR/><BR/>Ellen- You gotta love technology. It's a nice thing, but yet maddening at the same time. Luckily I'm pretty handy or I'd be sitting here at home for 4 hours waiting for some technician to find that problem and I'd STILL be off line!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09582157624382487302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36363347.post-34505731605400620502008-04-11T07:34:00.000-05:002008-04-11T07:34:00.000-05:00Gack!!!

And it's such an eccentric connection--I have high-speed cable coming in and a modem going out, grrrrr--the joys of rural living. Not to mention when, ahem, someone gets on the damned thing and throws it completely off...

It made me SO mad. I tried getting on when I was at school today but the filters wouldn't let me.
