Delousing and Other Queries

Had a minor net  problem that is now resolved. At least it will be faster once we have set  up the Sky router on Tuesday. The box came last week.

This morning i resolved some of the problems that cousin had on his laptop ,which included multiple open Chrome platforms.No wonder it was dead slow. I used a combination of CCleaner and 360 Degree Amigo (both freeware) to clean out his registry, clean up the privacy settings and get rid of the junk files.Well, at least most of the delousing has been done. I have not got round to defragging the machine as i reckon that could take all day!

I have noticed that LJ does not flag up spelling mistakes in the visual editor mode but does in HTML mode. Why? Has anybody else noticed this?

Amazingly , it is another fine sunny day and it is mid October. It cannot last!

I've noticed the lack of spelling correction in Visual Editor as well. Not sure exactly when it started because when no red lines appeared under my text I just assumed it was typed correctly. Only later upon going back an re-reading entries did I find the typos!

It's quite vexing because between bad eyesight and a tendency to transpose letters when I type, I depend on that to catch the occasional mistake. I do know that it started around the same time I was having other computer problems so I guess I thought it was just my system. Now that I know it's site-wide I'll try lodging a complaint. Maybe if enough of us do that they'll do something about it.

We're having a lovely sunny October here on the East Coast of the U.S. as well. Enjoy!
