A note to all of you who are wondering about me...

Well, this would be try number 2 on the posting for the night (The last try just simply didn't make it).

I waned to make a post real quick about the State of the Internet here in my apartment;

It's lousy...

Yep, it's broadband, but there is something about the way the ISP interfaces with the internet that has played Molly Hobb with all of my various posting thingies...

1) Sometimes I post my blog, and I just get the title (As just happened here), the body of my blog is lost somewhere in Cyberspace, never to be seen again...

2) I am not connected to the internet via a stable IP address, the address changes often... sometimes as often as once every 15 seconds... when this happens; I have to relogin to my Email client (As a security measure)... and when I relogin, I lose all work I was doing...

What that means in plain English; Some nights it takes me 2 to 3 hours to reply to a message because every 15 seconds I lose the message and I have to retype it in... That's why you don't hear from me that often via Email. I can read them, but I have real problems replying. Aunt Omaha, LaVonne, I have been trying to reply to you two for a couple of weeks now, and I just have been having a time of it...

3) Those of you with Live Journal accounts; My IP range is apparently used a lot by spammers, and thus it is permanently blocked by LJ. They suggest I call my ISP and have them issue me a new IP range... The odds of that happening are, well, as James would put it: "Slim to none and Slim left for the airport a while ago"... But that's why I don't reply to your LJ's anymore... But I am reading your LJ's every day... I wish I could reply... :(

Uncle Pat, I love ya, man! I read your responses and laugh a lot! Thank you! Know that you are not forgotten! :D

(Note the post below this one is new today as well :D)

Quick hint:

Compose in Word, then copy & Paste into your email client or Blog. And save the word doc, in case something happens during upload.

I'm really glad to hear you're doing well and potentially shaking things up at the Gakuen (probably has a different name for Jr. High). Just don't try to change things too much, or it could come back to bite you ;).

That I'll do... there are still some issues, though... I have to go through this relogin/Paste/Relogin/paste/relogin/paste thing that's starting to kill me... The buttons don't load fast enough on my connection for me to hit "Paste" and Send in enough time... it's just aggrivating... I can do it, it just takes time... that'sall :D Thanks for the hint, though!
