Networking

  • Confirmed that networking setup yesterday (including printers) does work.
  • This has also provided for viewing of the same website on the other computer, whether it be the LT or DT. This requires ensuring that the web is added to favorites on the immediate computer, then copied to "Shared Documents". Viewing on the other computer is then done by clicking on it in the "Shared Documents on other computer".

ZoneAlarm prevents customizing.

Succeeded in adding a photo to my profile - without using Hello or Picasa.

Chairs and Chorley

Got an estimate from S.Ribble Upholsterers re the kitchen chairs. £25 ea. This was very favourable compared to one from a company in the Old Mill Trading estate; £40 ea.

St Caths in Chorley had a table and chairs that took our fancy, for £95. Decided not to get it because would be prone to marking and the gripping of the chairs was not too clever.

Try for a picture.


Couldn't get a picture to load from editing so I'll try with a new post; after all it worked at some time in the past for me.

It's Bonfire night.

And so Richard has gone to Worden Park. There wasn't a bonfire at the local pub this year so Worden will be his main Bonfire attraction.

Surprise, surprise

Got into broadband, yes, BUT dialup window keeps taking over and blocking the broadband until the dialup window is cancelled/closed.

Another bit of bad news is that sometime in the evening Outlook Express has chosen to show only a back window. So now unable to view any messages. Have re-booted with no effect.

Am considering activities for coming week. Thinking of:
St.Caths
Re-upholstery of kitchen chairs
Watches
BIC pens
Stapler
Lunch scheduled for Thursday
F&C in Bispham
Southport

2224 Bedtime - Totsiens.

Frustration/computers

Broadband connection problems - again. After disconnecting the broadband connection I found the telephone to be giving trouble (made a noise as though already connected but other phones in house were ok.) Re-connected broadband and it worked!

A further check throws the filters into suspicion.

Various.

Harry expects extraction tomorrow.

Installed ZoneAlarm and it appears to be ok.

Sent a couple of SMS messages from Skype (to 8 Badgers and to Jean's mobile). To 8 Badgers they came through quickly but to Jean's mobile it looks as though they take at least 1/2 an hour!

Another puncture, as well as a gear problem.

Hello and Picasa AND Bicycle lamps!



Picasa organises photos and Hello sends them (I think).

Bicycle lamps can still be a menace. The contacts in them are very sensitive and I need to find the best way of adjusting them.

Refresh

The need to refresh after every new posting or comment is something to keep in mind.

Southport

Harry got on OK at Stroke Clinic yesterday. He will be having to go for one or more scans. He doesn't seem put out by the plan.

He expects to get the cruet by about the middle of next week and will comment on it to help Jean decide whether to recommend to Gwladys.

French

Have been battling with various CDs, all of which are meant to make the learning of French, easy!

Photos again!

Viewing yesterdays effots it is no longer certain that placement of photos is a problem.
