Wednesday 24
Mar. 25th, 2010 12:24 amWednesday 24- I did my stretches, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 47 and 72 degrees, NW/SW winds 4 to 114 MPH, humidity around 12 percent, mostly clear skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 70. Breezy, with a west southwest wind 6 to 9 mph increasing to between 21 and 24 mph. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 49. Breezy, with a west wind 26 to 29 mph decreasing to between 17 and 20 mph. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph.”
I went to download the new version of Firefox but the internet was really slow for some reason and the webpage wouldn’t load; dang! In fact I couldn’t get into Gmail to read my emails. I thought at first that it was my dialup connection, so I went about to trouble shoot it. I’m on dialup and it’s slow to begin with but not this slow! I found that some websites weren’t affected and would load like Yahoo and a few other sites, but most didn’t. I walked away from it for a spell after trying everything I could think of to get it going, even tried my MacBook and a Bluetooth modem but nothing worked.
I sat down and spent the rest of the afternoon doing and finishing my taxes; at least I got something done today! All I have to do now is copy them over to the tax forms I’m sending in.
I went for my evening walk listening to Astro 10: General Astronomy: The Fingerprints of Atoms. I walked down to visit Princess the horse and brought her an apple and a carrot. She was very happy to see me!
I went back to working on the problem with the internet. Ron Dehart called telling me he has the same problem. He said that he’s been trying to get on EBay all day but wasn’t able to and that AOL was down. I told him that about all I can get is Yahoo. I don’t know if it’s just affecting our area, our dialup service, or if it’s a major outage. I told him to try later in the night when traffic is slower to see if it’s any better.
I tried getting on later and it’s still slow but I was able to get into Gmail using the HTML settings. I also was able to get my blog sites where I post but just barely; MySpace took forever! Lifehacker.com wouldn’t load at all. I hope by morning this is all fixed!
I did my stretches, practiced my guitar, wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
