…………..well……….that was weird!

24/02/2009 by Peter Sewell.

OK, so Googlemail went down this morning. I can cope with that, even though I thought - along with everyone else - that it was me. In addition to that I couldn’t make this computer do a thing I wanted it to, so I assumed they were caused by the same problem - so I did two ’system restores’, did that help? No. AVG wouldn’t anti virus like it’s supposed to, de frag wouldn’t de frag like it’s supposed to, and all my passwords and cookies disappeared into the ethernet. I deleted just about everything, reloaded most of it, and it works. All except for Facebook. Facebook informed me that I had ‘reactivated my account’, but it still treats me like a stranger - I have no friends, it says, but if I try to add friends it tells me they are already there, presumably with the passwords and cookies at the restaurant at the end of the ethernet.

I did get a lot of beading done though…………………………right up to the bit where I ran out of beads and they won’t be here until the postman finally accepts the fact that we have a letterbox, and he doesn’t have to use next door’s at all really.

I also had a funny set of e mails on Sunday…………………..by a rather strange but obviously English inquirer who purported to be a French customer with a penchant for using Northern English terminology - ‘ecky thump!

It’s been a strange few days.
