Delousing and Other Queries

[jazzy_dave]

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!

Urgh, Sky. Not only an outpost of the pustulous Murdoch empire, but damned poor quality too. A while back, realising they could only supply us with a fairly tepid DSL offering, I nudged the roomie/landlord into VDSL. Only BT, rather than one of the really nifty ISPs, but - other than a nearly disastrous hiccup with installation (the contractor couldn't find the kerbside box at first, but after I stressed how important a good connection was to me, as I worked from home, and dealt with large video files routinely, he agreed to take me along to have another look. We found it =:), it's been quite satisfactory. No throttling we've been able to detect, no traffic caps, and instead of around around 6Mbits down/600Mbits up, we're now around 5Mbytes down/700Kbytes up. =:D (Whilst I can't recommend having one's phone pole felled as a means of upgrading the wiring, it did afford a modest boost as well =:)
