Argh, for as quick as it went last week, under an hour, this week is a DISASTER! All sorts of little problems leading up to the big one. 1AND1 tells me some fluff about my page is missing the L in html on the page and that’s why it is pushing the wrong page. Don’t sound right to me? I see all the files in place with the right names. Perhaps an index not updated on their end? Argh!

Interesting, in doing my Jasper Jottings, I am often on the LEGACY site picking up obits. In some obits, they force a new sexy front end. Only one problem, it doesn’t FF3. It just goes in an endless loop “loading”. Like the good inet denizen I am, I reported it. Wonder if I’ll ever get a response. Wonder if I’ll ever get a fix. Wonder if anyone other than me cares. P.S. When I hit that particular ‘brick wall’ i go around it by using SAFARI. Interesting?

Yahoo plays defunct DRM tune
***Begin Quote***
It’s getting to be an old song. This week the Yahoo Music Store sent a message to customers saying they will turn off their DRM servers after September, thus joining MSN Music, Sony’s Connect music store and other online music services in eventually cutting off customers who purchased DRM-wrapped tunes. And readers have no doubt it’s a song the movie, e-book, and software publishers are also going to be singing in the future.

So, do they give us a refund for DESTROYING a perfectly good working piece of software that they replaced with a POS?
Yeah, like that’s going to happen!
FTC? DOJ? Political help? Yeah, like that’s going to happen!

LinkedIn Maintenance: Do This Right Now (or else?)
July 17th, 2008
*** begin quote ***
I got an e-mail from Susan Ireland, at the Job Lounge. She asked me if I knew anything about LinkedIn deleting people’s accounts… I’ve heard a little about this, but mostly just hand-slapping for looking like spammers. Getting an account deleted can be a huge problem, especially as you use LinkedIn more.

LinkedIn deleting people’s accounts?
Wow, that’s news!

Many issues. My McBa blog is gone. I have it local. I don’t have the new DOTME cabalities and icons on the McBa.
It’s probably getting pounded pretty good. Hence there’s a lot of sitting a looking at the Mac equivalent of an hourglass.
Argh!!

Can I use a CNAME record to point to my web space?
Unfortunately, you cannot use a CNAME record to point to 1&1 web space. You

Guess what guys. If I can’t figure out how to set the clock by bed time tonight. Back it goes!!

Dear Ms. Garcia: Way too late. You didn’t make your promised SLA. I wound up calling in. The clock is set. But, it didn’t work for several hours as I reset the clock over and over again. It just wouldn’t save. It was as if there was a magic button I was missing. When I called in and powered it up talking to the phone rep, magic: the clock was set. I hope whatever gremlin was there has left for other places. But, who knows. fjohn
p.s., Emailing me the reproduced instruction page is really irritating. Did you think I didn’t read it? Or couldn’t find page 17! The phone rep was equally condescending. Argh!
