XPfails – luggable – Lost DNS; shift to VWBBIE

Saturday, March 10, 2007

Apparently have lost DNS, shifted to VWBBIE, called “home”.

Time to think about OPENDNS again. Put it on the 2do.

VWBBIE feels downright “spritely”

Download Speed: 495 kbps (61.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 33 kbps (4.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

And, I even “see” that the venturi caching server is offline. Interesting.


XPfails – luggable – BLOGDESK loses the ability to talk to the target

Friday, March 9, 2007

Interesting. Every once and while, BLOGDESK loses its mind. It fails to complete a conversation with the target blog it is storing into. I don’t know who to blame (i.e., the Blog site, XP, or BlogDesk). But only a reboot will clear. After a restart, everything works fine. Now that I have gotten in the habit of SAVE then PUBLISH, it’s NBD (no big deal).


XPfails – luggable – GADWIN PRINT SCREEN v3.5 – This is now the second most annoying problem

Wednesday, February 28, 2007

Recap:

For some reason, after several months of use, now when I start GPS35, it doesn’t appear to “do” anything. It doesn’t splash. It takes memory. (I can see it in XP’s process list.) But, it just doesn’t do anything anymore. I’ve uniunstalled and reinstalled. Help?

Haven’t found any help. Need to dig deeper and harder.


XPfails – luggable – PLAXO acting differently

Tuesday, February 27, 2007

I was transferring my LinkedIn contact to my Outlook address book and Plaxo stopped check to to see if they were in Plaxo. Strange?

Update at 0930: plaxo has returned to operating as expected. Perhaps, their site was “down”. If not site, service? And, there’s no idication in the LookOut client that an add in is dead? Interesting that perhaps is the reason for all the non-responding stuff. 


XPfails – luggable – MSWORD AND OPENOFFICE is failing

Saturday, February 24, 2007

Argh! Both Microsoft Word2003 and Open Office are locking up on my alumni ezine. Argh! I was able to finish with Zoho Web-based word processor. Saved the issue. Seems to work nicely.


XPfails – luggable – GADWIN PRINT SCREEN v3.5 – It has to be XP!

Friday, February 23, 2007

For some reason, after several months of use, now when I start GPS35, it doesn’t appear to “do” anything. It doesn’t splash. It takes memory. (I can see it in XP’s process list.) But, it just doesn’t do anything anymore. I’ve uniunstalled and reinstalled. Help?


XPfails – luggable – BLOGDESK locks up posting

Monday, February 19, 2007

The post was lost. And, eventually the box locked. Argh!


XPfails – luggable – BLOGDESK failed or xp?

Friday, February 16, 2007

Today, I was using blogdesk. I composed a post and sent it to wordpress. BLOGDESK just sat there. I assume trying to connect. Breaking the cycle put the whole box into a stoppage. Reboot. A long cycle because it was applying maintenance. Argh! So, what was the failure? All I know is that BLOGDESK lost my post. Not that is was so valuable. More so that I forgot to save a draft before it published. It should do that. Everything appears to be working now?


XPfails – luggable – OUTLOOK locks up; Plaxo suspect?

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Outlook with Plaxo Update were “not responding”. I suspect that was the problem again.


XPfails – luggable – Looks like Plaxo?

Monday, February 12, 2007

It appears that Plaxo went awol. The first indication of trouble was when a editpro project wouldn’t open. From that point, every think went down hill from there. Reboot. And try again?
