Had my brief eleven-thirty meeting, which was brief.  I then did a couple of errands and got some lunch from Gelson's.  I sent a bunch of e-mails and AOL just did something so weird I couldn't believe it.  I tried to send an e-mail response and got a pop up window saying I had to do some sort of "challenge" thing by following a URL, which was not clickable - I cut and pasted it and went and filled in the numbers and letters I saw on my screen and that was that and all is well, but how stupid is AOL?


Hmm... Are you sure that that wasn't some sort of "phishing virus"?  -I know that Facebook has started asking for "identifications" when posting URLs, but I didn't realize AOL was doing it now too.  -Just to be safe, I'd check any account that is connected to your AOL account.

I don't think it could be - but I called anyway, just to yell at them about it - they confirmed it's something they're doing now - at the request of their subscribers - I told her it wasn't at MY request.  And it was for each of my screen names.

I didn't realize that the "Beard" to which the article refers, was a specific person's name. ;)

DR George - Life is not Side Show.

???

That's not the kind of "beard" I was thinking of. ::)

Hey everyone, just a quick login for Mom, she wants everybody to know that she just got back from the surgery to get the chemo port in, and she's a little tired, but fine, and she'd like to say hi. Also, she's having the stomach tube put in on monday, and she starts chemo on tuesday, so she might miss a couple of days on the site, but during those times, I'm to keep you all posted. She says she will continue to vist the site, so I probably won't be able to, since we only have one computer. So from me, Happy Holidays.

On my own behalf, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me with my Catcher in the Rye report, which went sucsessfully, resulting in a 100. Thanks again!!!  Love you all!!!!!!

Had my brief eleven-thirty meeting, which was brief.  I then did a couple of errands and got some lunch from Gelson's.  I sent a bunch of e-mails and AOL just did something so weird I couldn't believe it.  I tried to send an e-mail response and got a pop up window saying I had to do some sort of "challenge" thing by following a URL, which was not clickable - I cut and pasted it and went and filled in the numbers and letters I saw on my screen and that was that and all is well, but how stupid is AOL?


Hmm... Are you sure that that wasn't some sort of "phishing virus"?  -I know that Facebook has started asking for "identifications" when posting URLs, but I didn't realize AOL was doing it now too.  -Just to be safe, I'd check any account that is connected to your AOL account.

I don't think it could be - but I called anyway, just to yell at them about it - they confirmed it's something they're doing now - at the request of their subscribers - I told her it wasn't at MY request.  And it was for each of my screen names.

(Whew!)

-I'm wondering if the new security measures are related to all the "OpenID" internet updates this past week.  You can now sign into various sights using either your Facebook and/or Google/GMail log-in information - thus, saving you the trouble of having to sign up for new accounts on each website.  -Of course, that ends up linking portions of your account information and your internet browsing "tendencies" to the websites/companies involved.  I guess I like the convenience of that innovation, but I'm not too crazy about the possible security and marketing issues.

Good morning, everyone. I shall post while I have a brief break.

The home sale has become a real roller coaster. The home inspection report was a disaster, with significant inaccuracies and many recommendations quite inappropriate to a historic home. I think DR Edisaurus would agree with me here--you should respect the architectural heritage of a building, rather than apply the standards of NEW construction to it. I'll stop there--believe me, I could go on and on and on. In any case, the buyers have been given some bad information and I'm not at all sure how this will turn out.

I have many personal business items to take care of today--eye exam, new tires for my car, others. Not fun, but necessary.


House vibes for Jeanne!

So...

I went ahead and swapped out the DSL modem - I had a spare "new" one - and that actually seems to have done the trick, so to speak.  Alas, I think a big part of the problem has to do with the fact the phone/DSL jack is placed right behind a radiator.  I've seemed to notice a pattern that whenever the heat goes on, the internet connection seems to slow down and/or needs to be reset.  I'm wondering if the heat from the radiator is somehow affecting the wires.  -I bet it is.  But since that's how things are set up here, well...  :-\
