Grrrrrrrrrr...... For some reason, teh interwebs have slowed to a crawl here at Chez Muskrat. I'm getting about a fifth to a quarter of the speed I used to get just a week ago. This has been going on for a few days now. "High-Speed Access"? I fear not. It's amazing how soul-piercingly annoying it seems, waiting a mere 20-30 second for web pages to load, when you're used to three or four second delays. What do they think this is, 1998? (The problem's not on the computer's side, as both laptops have the same connectivity slowness when doing anything 'net-related. And a-yup, I shut everything down and restarted it all, including all routers and Airport dohickey stuff. Would I sound like an idiot calling Charter and telling them "I think your internet is broken. They're tubes, right? The ones to my house seem to be blocked"? Probably.) On top of this, I just updated my operating system to Mac OS X Moggie -- I'm sorry, I mean Leopard -- to take advantage of some new software, and also for Time Machine and Time Capsule coolness. Unfortunately, every time I now open Eudora, it immediately "unexpectedly" quits. Or so the message tells me. Which is odd, as I now expect this every time I open Eudora, so it's not really "unexpected," is it, now? Once I re-open it, it works OK for a bit, but seems sluggish, churning and, frankly, petulant and boorish. Then, more often than not, it will "unexpectedly" quit again. This is all particularly frustrating since, in the wake of updating to system 10.5.2, I also updated Eudora to V. 6.2.4 (the most recent one for Macs). Frickin brickin snickin frickin... Is there any reason a Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC G5 would be having problems like this? Otherwise, things are just ducky this weekend. How are you?

Don't just be right, be right on ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) goth_twiglet brought home the excellent How to be Right: The Essential Guide to Making Lefty Liberals History by James Delingpole, a dictionary of political correctness in language any Tory will find side-splitting and that even lefty liberals with their "we one (sic) the culture wars" smugness will find themselves smirking at. Oh wait a second, I was mistaking lefty liberals for people with a sense of humour... Anyway, in spite herself my own socialist aparatchik has found herself amused by this caustic tour de force of New Labour Newspeak and general political correctness insanity. My only compaint is that the editor watered down the excellent entry on Ted Heath from Cunt to C***. Why ruin a perfectly adequate description? Of course I speak here as someone with the misfortune to have attended the same grammar school as the Right Honourable Member for Pro-European Integration, so it's possible I bare something of a grudge for the hideous stain he left on the character of an excellent school which I would much rather see remembered by posterity for humourist Frank Muir or musical revolutionary Nik Turner. Still, that's a rant for another day ;p Anyway, if I have one complaint about How to be Right, it's that the volume isn't long enough. Well it is if your main goal is to sit on public transport reading this at anyone who looks even vaguely up their own lefty-liberal arse, but the current format leaves so much trendy politicoid (or volitical, depending on how you prefer to combine political and void) nonsense undissected that this really needs to be a series with snappy titles like How to be Even More Right: Interventions for the Victims of Left Liberal Brainwashing and Nothing Left: Essential Sociology from a Tax-Payer's Perspective. And now for a restful afternoon of drinking tea, eating scones and laying plans for world domination (again). Current Mood: amusedCurrent Music: If I Let You Live-Headrillaz-Coldharbour Rocks |
