Small Dead Downtime

Kate’s Internet connection is dead and is likely to stay dead for a day or two while she does an unplanned change of Internet suppliers.
Guest bloggers, please take this as an invitation to keep the place lively.
Cheers,

  2. She’s off on some shnauzer-thingie, mark my words.
    She just doesn’t want us to know she loves them more than us.

  6. Obviously I cannot compare my ISP connection needs to Kate’s SDA needs.
    However, I changed my ISP provider December last, to the family owned Chatham Ontario TEKSAVVY ISP and am saving $50.00 per month for the exact same service I had previously been paying one of the biggies in the business.
    The best part is if I need techie help I get it from Chatham Ontario 24/7, in understandable English, as opposed to India, Costa Rica, or Phillippines in barely understandable tongues.
    Good luck with your new ISP, Kate.

  7. Guest bloggers, eh?
    Should the topics include “The Seven Words You Can’t Say On TV” (revised for Mohammad), “Words That Rhyme With Duck” and “Images of Mohammad Throughout the Centuries”?

  8. Small Dead ISP?
    Hmmnnn, lets start a rumor!
    Kate’s ISP got a nasssssty letter from The HRC (unspecified of course) and dropped her like a hot potato.
    The beauty of it is, there are no supporting facts whatsoever. Its perfect!

  9. Hey Joe: I’m with you!
    I have been using MNSI since forever. They are out of Windsor and I have NO problem communicating with them when problems(rarely) arise.

  12. Does this mean we can call Vitruvius a schnauzer and get away with it? Will he be unable to erase our comments? If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
    [ No, I won’t be unable to erase your comments, but
      really, I very rarely do that (ibid). ~Vitruvius     ]

  13. Phantom:
    Q. What do you call a blog that starts a rumor based on no supporting facts whatsoever?
    A. A Fifedom

  14. How simple life was when we typed on an IBM Selectric and and mailed the sheets via Royal Mail. Few people know this. An late model IBM selectric could be hooked up to Telex and used to send an instant message anywhere in Canada. Provided the receiver had Telex.

  15. Joe Citizen: Actually, given the news of late and the antics of the HRC’s, it won’t be long b4 the internet is censored just as much, if not more, here than in China. Those old IBM Selectric’s and Telexs’ may be a viable option and just might realize a come back if censorship becomes strict enough.
    I used that very setup back in the day to broadcast and receive information in real time.

  16. OK Black Mamba, I would have long-forgotten this until you went and brought up the ‘schnauzer thingie’. [I do hope that Kate is ‘incommunicado’ for awhile.]
    Here’s a funny:
    My neighbour found out her dog could hardly hear so she took it to the veterinarian. He found the problem was hair in its ears and cleaned both ears and the dog could hear fine.
    The vet told the lady if she wanted to keep this from reoccurring she should go to the store and get some ‘Nair’ hair remover and rub in its ears once a month.
    The lady goes to the drug store and gets some ‘Nair’ hair remover. At the register the druggest tells her “If you’re going to use this under your arms don’t use deoderant for a few days.”
    The lady says “I’m not using it under my arms”.
    The druggest says “If you’re using it on your legs don’t shave for a couple of days.”
    The lady says “I’m not using it on my legs either, and if you must know, I’m using it on my schnauzer.”
    The druggist says “Stay off your bicycle for a week.” :>0)
