figures

cell service has sucked today... and wouldn't you know, i decided to explore the computer a bit more and discovered that i can send ext messages from the computer to the cell phone and vice versa... so i dug deeper and found i can check my usage and stuff and then...

the att communication manager froze...

here we go again... a few weeks ago when i updated to windows vista sp2, the att connection stopped working and i spent two hours on the phone to get it fixed and it turned out i needed to uploade an update to be compatible with windows vista sp2 that microsoft nor att naturally did not tell me about... and today, the manager locked up again...

turns out the tech support person, after an hour and a download and following the instructions posted on their website, admitted that there is a known issue with windows vista compatibility even with the latest att software and so the feature manager won't work, but i can still connect to the internet as long as i don't use the features... so why use the att software when it is not compatible with windows?...

because using the windows software is feeding the monster, the microsoft monopoly created by subtrifuge of most every other software through incompatibility issues... heck, even other microsoft software has issues... heck, even the operating system itself has issues, maybe more than all the other software's issues combined... crap makes crap... incompatible crap craps incompatibly... or something like that :)

i'm more frustrated and tired of microsoft crap and suckage than it may seem, but after wasting another two hours on the phone with att suckage, and crap, it's time to rush into the shower and head out to jackson's party... happy new year everybody :)

I'm really enjoying the theme/design of your site.
Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility
issues? A couple of my blog readers have complained
about my website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Safari.
Do you have any solutions to help fix this issue?

Hello Anonymous (I'd give you a number, like Anonymous # 724189361242, but I have not been counting, so it would be arbitrary... might be fun though... could be confusing if you are the same Anonymous who left one of the other 7,241,189,361,242 anonymous comment on my blogs over the years... do I exaggerate?... should I suggest you try to find all of them and count yourself?... would it complicate things to let you know that I do not publish them all?... are we there yet?)...

Besides, as this comment posting and reply adequately demonstrates, I do not publish (or even check) comments awaiting approval often and comments from the name Anonymous, aka anonymous comments, are not even permitted in every blog and (as if additional stipulations are needed, or even warranted, no less wanted), email notifications of such comments are filtered into a folder that I rarely check, in fact, I may have opened that folder a few times in the past decade and barely opened a few emails in all that time, so are we back to anyway yet?

The answer to your question is no.

I don't pay attention much to the different ways different browsers present my different formats in my different blogs. I rarely create a template myself, am a hunt and peck, scratch and sniff, copy and paste, ultra basic HTML only web page designer (and I use the word designer without giving it the respect it surely deserves) and almost exclusively use blogger with the tiniest of occasional tweaks for my web world these days. I wish there was a simple answer and hope you find it as you search (did a search for incompatibility bring you here?).

Feel free to introduce yourself to my truly harmless, but occasionally acerbic sarcasm (as I think to myself that Anonymous # 724189361242 is likely more unique than your name, but that's a semantic {not meant in any way as a personal offense at all} laugh we can share at another time if you respond and I find your response {chances are random that I will, eventually} introduce yourself and discuss it and identify and nomenclature and any other topics that might pass through our minds at the time), at your whim.

I'd like that.

What?

:)

Please let me know if you find a solution.

Thanks :)

I obviously most my way a bit in the secondary parenthetic aside in the last paragraph of the last comment. I apologize for it taking so long. I mean, I apologize if it became confusing.

Naturally, the response you may or may not have been seeking might have been (or still be)...

We could all buy Macs.

Narf :)

wow, perhaps even more obviously, the word "most" was meant to be "lost" in the previous comment.

So perhaps it is even more appropriate now to ask...

Are we there yet? :)


Catch up (and know more)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
