Computer Tsuches…VII

This very annoying business is not over! I still can’t use my second monitor, and I shall get A. to make another attempt tomorrow! The other problem is that in the process of ‘migrating’ from my old computer to this one some of the migrants either got lost entirely or they’re wandering around in the...

Computer Tsuches…VI

Soon after this whole computer thing took hold, back when the rhino couple where stumbling down the gangplank of the Ark, a pair of chimps riding on him and assorted insect couples on her, because they had to be kept separate to prevent the chimps from eating the locust and such, anyway, ever since...

Computer Tsuches…V

When confronted with messes beyond my control I sometimes effect a transformation. Though I am normally best characterized in terms of Hobbes’ description of life in general as ‘nasty, brutish and short’ (okay, not that short, more or less of average height, LOL), I become nice. I turn nice not... Sign in to see full entry.

Computer Tsuches…IV

As I said – horrors! The strange looking 7 folders all over the desktop, but no tool bar, no start button, no nuttin’! Come on guys, I know how this is supposed to look, my LSW has one, after all... I open a folder, and the only reason I don’t faint is that I’m not given to fainting – hieroglyphs!... Sign in to see full entry.

Computer Tsuches…III

Well, I have told you why I have these computer problems, but I haven’t even begun to give you the ghastly details. I went to our ‘Big-Outfit-for-this-kind-of-stuff’ (which shall remain nameless) because my erstwhile guru moved on some time ago, probably to a warmer climate, and I can’t blame him....

Computer Tsuches…II

Alright, here is the problem or, better, the bag full of problems. On April 8, 12 years after its introduction, Microsoft (MS) is ending its support for Windows XP. What does that mean? It means that nobody is working at making improvements, and particularly at developing security upgrades dealing... Sign in to see full entry.

Computer tsuches...

I am really, really pissed off with MS! If I didn’t find the Apple cult so abhorrent, I’d switch, but I do, and so I’ll have to stick with this dreck… Now I’m gonna watch the tube or grab a book and have a scotch or two, and I’ll tell you about all this tomorrow... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben...LXVII

You have heard about the first big scare in involving my doggie – here’s the second one. Many of you will recall something I have mentioned before – Ben is a very territorial doggie. Unless he’s fast asleep in the back, it’s impossible for someone to pull into the driveway, let alone walk up the... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was Ben...LXVI

After inflicting that silly centipede story on you, it’s time for an update of one of my favorite quadrupeds, my Bennie. (Maybe I should mention that the excursion to Blong was actually undertaken as an answer to a couple of comments; whose comments they were, as well as the topic to which they were...

Flibbies...Part VII

Gradually the laughter and chatter died down. Whew, Qullew thought, it isn’t that funny, but to people who associate flomps with musty antiquity maybe it is... He raised his #2 and the crowd fell silent. “I have given some thought to the possible reasons the Glubbian Flibbies like their flomps so... Sign in to see full entry.
