Having had multiple problems with Norton which necessitated re-installing Windows more than once  , then being told by McAfee that I couldn't renew my subscription but had to buy the latest version of their software , I changed to avast! which I've been very satisfied with - and what's more it's free!  Oh bugler! I wish I`d known about that before going through the same intensely annoying procedure as you and Jonathan earlier this year Never mind. There`s always next year ...... |

What's a "virus"? Oh yes - one of those things that infects Problem Centres.

I've never quite understood why messageboards like this are referred to as forums. After a while all the threads start to cross and weave and become more like knitting...
Not really a grump either, but if I didn't put it here I'd have to leave a link to it which would make the knitting even more tangled.

I hate knots. Currently most problematic knot gets mysteriously into the cable for my laptop/charger. I like to arrive at a customer and impress by setting up my laptop in about 12 seconds flat, only to stand there like a twit for what feels like 12 minutes untangling the cable/charger for the darn thing. I had only spent 12 seconds unplugging it and packing it away yet it is inexplicably tangled; there are some mysterious forces at work making these granny knots and I will get to the bottom of it. Another one is the garden hose. It's on a reel, pull it out so easy but as soon as you start using it tangle-twist and whoosh it's come flying off the tap and I'm standing there holding the end like a limp dick  |

On a similar (computer related) theme - why does my wireless router keep turning orange (disconnected) instead of staying green? (It's a Belkin if that makes any difference). When I unplug then plug in again it's OK, for an unpredictable length of time...
The problem is that all modems/routers lose the connection at some point. It can be after a few hours, days or weeks. You will have to dissconnect the power supply (not just by using the on/off switch) switch, for a few seconds and then it will re-boot OK. A computer programmer friend of mine described it all as " a black art." There are more bugs in computer programmes and hardware than on a certain singer's beard ... I had the same problem, as well as a reduced internet spped when I plugged my wireless router into an older telephone extension cable. ASDL signals are much stronger if there are few (preferably) no extensions leads being used, and this can considerably cut down the number of internet disconnections. |

Weirdly, my antivirus alert thing seems to have cured itself overnight.  |

Michael, I have now discovered that ADSL equals broadband, which is what I have. Can't seem to get round the extension cables problem tho'... |

So am I, Jonathan. I'm cold, and I missed the local performance of The Sacrifice because I was ill. I don't know what I'd have thought about it - the music sounded not too bad on the radio - but at least it would have been something new. Like you, though, there's no real reason for being in a bad mood, I just am. As you say, it will pass.

Commiserations to fellow grumps and grumpettes. I started the day in a mood that was less than sparkling when I found my clothes in the catpan. Fortunately I was in a position to go back to bed after picking up my email for the day. Things don't look quite so bad now even if the van is leaking something, the middle bedroom is unusable and the hose is still escaping across the lawn.

I've had the same sort of problem of recurring illness, but I'm not asthmatic, so I suppose I shouldn't complain. Just when I think I'm better, I get ill again. It's so boring. I don't feel interested in the things that usually interest me.
