Fighting Back…… Take That!

Posted on September 24, 2015 by pensitivity101

As you are aware, we experience problems with our WIFI connection occasionally and trying to do anything on the computer can be  S  L  O  W    G  O  I  N  G .
snailNot much improved for me after Hubby’s tinkering the other day, but hey, the Gremlins leap-frogged across to his laptop (either that or used his keyboard and mouse leads as tightrope bridges for the crossing) and he was having the same problems.
So it wasn’t all my fault folks.

Trying to read three posts by three different bloggers in my reader today, I got the same ‘not trustworthy‘ warning message pop up, one that gave as an option ‘Get me out of here!’
Hubby had it too, one of which was on a post he was revisiting having already read it.

Now, as his blog is totally different to mine, and we overlap by only two or three followers, he did a little more digging, jigging and rigging.

We are both like a new improved recipe……… better.
And faster.
snail raceIt could be something to do with the fact that we moved today.
Four boat fingers up to be exact, so actually further away from the WIFI router.
(The full length of our boat now fits along the pontoon, so when we come to move things in and out of the bow next month, we will not have to dangle or hover precariously, neither will we have to turn the boat round)

Or it could simply be that Hubby dumped our usual browser and set us up with a different one.

Clue:
opera
What do Queen, The Phantom and The Marx Brothers all have in common?

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

    It’s not your computer today. I had the same problems trying to get to most of the WordPress blogs I normally read. I think it has something to do with WordPress’ security certificate.

      Thanks for this little snippet of info. Have told Hubby. We don’t seem to be having any problems with our new browser though and things are definitely better for the change, so will stick with it for now. Thanks again.
