Why does Life have to be so hard?

This week has been one to quickly forget. After a fairly steady start, from Wednesday onwards things collapsed in what can only be called, a "heap of scrap"


I have long since suffered from the dreaded "SINUS'S"- but this week really takes the biscuit. It's bad enough feel sick within your own four walls - but to then go to work feeling sick, and then to just clear a customers frontdoor to be sick, sick, sick - then I am really getting fed up with this.

And then, this morning - we had two upset children when one of the Guinea Pigs past on. I know it's that high up on the scale of human tradegy, but it's hard to two kids who loved their pet.


Let's hope next week is better than this.

NETSCAPE 7 and Why Bill Gates will never be poor

I am sat here, before the Computer, in the early light of a Sunday Morning, several weeks after downloading the latest version of Netscape,Netscape 7, "somewhat wondering what have I done!!"


It has been a long time since I used Netscape as "the browser of choice" - it was not flexable enough for me (no fulll screen view for one - my fav functions - sad though it is - on IE)

So I down load Netscape 7 to get a shock - it has full screen views and a few other things it should have had years ago - it is relatively stable (which compared to IE somedays is a good thing) and over the last couple of weeks I have tried things out to a varying degree. Also over the last few weeks it has become very apparent that this is a very Internet Explorer world - most Websites are optimised for Internet Explorer and I think I know why.


It can only be covered by the statement "Old Habits die hard".

Normality has swept in and I have gone happily back to what I am used to. That is no reflection on Netscape - it works well. It does all the things that Internet Explorer does - and if I could be bothered to look - the chances are that there is something else there.


But when it comes down to it, most people are happiest when they are comfortable - and people are comfortable with what they know.
And this is why Mr Gates will remain a very rich man (Shares be blowed). There is no effort in looking for a reasonable Browser - it basically comes with the computer. It is straight forward to use - a very shallow learning curve - as long as you can work out how to set up a connection to the Internet and then fire up Internet Explorer - away you go.

Netscape, I think, lost it's chance a long time ago - which is a pity - a little proper competition and you never know which thing would have gone.

HELP

I'm Pulling my hair out

I have just been trying to upload an image to this page - using the help files listing what to do and how to do it.

What ever I try I fail.
I use internet explorer as the FTP client - I cann't get logged in - even though , I think, I have put in all the correct information.

The same happens if I use a seperate FTP client (WS Pro). I have set up an account within the program (just the same way I have for uploading to my website and that works OK) and the user name gets recognised but not the password (which is the same passwrod as the one I used to log into the main site and type this)

I have tried ftp-ing whislt logged onto this site - whilst log off this site and as many combinations as I can come up with in the middle. Anyone else have any ideas - could you please e-mail via this link Click here

Another day at work has gone by - what a day. Started off well enough (after stubbing my toe twice) 1st job went a treat - 2nd one went less well . Then the monthly "how you are doing talk" with the Boss. That was not as bad as I thought. Did enough jobs to justify may wages , kept the quality of the jobs up to the level, and I don't use my Mobile to much.

Morning all - hope you are well

What a start - am hobbling around after stumbling into two chairs and a kitchen unit - my foot is still numb. I hope today doesn't get any worse

Hi there and welcome to my first posting.

This, as they say, is the first in an occassional series of little ditties outlining my day, maybe an opinion, or even a moan is something in the day has seriously teed me off.

Today has been a strange sort of day. Work has been tiring and somewhat frustrating - for many reasons that shall, for now , remain in my own mind. I have found this site for the first time - isn't it strange how quickly you can get into something - although as time goes on - I hope to find out some of the hidden tricks .
