Did you know this about your Internet-speed?

My regular readers may have observed I’ve had problems with my Internet connections since long: Lack of Speed. Time outs. No connection.
This afternoon I had professional help.
Line Speed is OK.
But Line Speed is only a part of what you experience: Quality of Line, Routers and Servers are as well important. I did a test this Afternoon: The Test showed that between 55-89% of the Internet Packs in my Network were lost. Hence sent again and again and again…….

Hope my Vendors will do what they need to do to deliver the service they are expected to deliver.

You can test your own connection: http://pingtest.net/

Mama (88) watching herself on Internet

THE DAY AFTER - MARIE LOUISE 88

PHOTOHUNTER IS HERE

Today we went to the Summerhouse again. Clean up. Defreeze the freezer. Pick up some more things. Move chairs and tables inside. Arrange the flowers for their "wintersleep". Remove the Mailbox from the road. Bring up the Canoe. Harvest some grapes. All Business as usual.

Saturday's main objective: Show my Mother she is on Internet - the day after her 88 B D. (We brought some flowers, grapes from the garden - which is a must every year - and a box of French chocholade).

Challenge: Dinner at my brothers home. He has no Internet connection there. (How to be a Stoneager - he's a Lawyer). But, you know me: There is allways a solution. I simply brought my wireless box - the one I use in the Summerhouse - plugged in the cord and voila: On Net. So, here my mother is seeing herself for the first time in the cyberworld. 88 plus one day.

She liked what she observed. But, she did not bring her glasses. In spite of that, lot's of memories came back. Did she recall where and when? Guess. Oh yeah. Like it was yesterday. That's great.
- Did you make this? My mother asked
- Yes, I said

Then she begun to laugh. May be it was this she thought about:

Yea, It's my Mother and and me. In 1945. She had to hold me up. I did not walk until about --- hehehe - I was at least 15 months. And hair - even later - hahaha - and now I'm on Internet. In fact it's since 1989 (mail, BBS etc). Arranged the first education courses for Medical Doctors and Lawyers, Travel business and Media industry in 1995.

We left the Summerhouse today heading for my Mother. Has she been there lately? Last summer - on her way out of my Brothers Car.

On Saturday, it was Birthday dinner in my Brothers place. Here is our Mother and my Brother last Summer at Holmsbu. Before having Lunch. My brother is asking for service.

More to come.... (after our Womans day, November 3)

Take care of your self

PS. When writing this post and listening to the Radio (Norwegian Public Station): What do you think happened?
Papa fell in love. In the age of 62. In Bette Davis Eyes.

On - off - on - off and on again

Calling Help Desk on TORsdag

This week I once again had to post from the office. The reason: No connection. I simply could not understand, while the Wireless status on my laptop said: Excellent connection and 100% signal strenght I still had no internet connection. Suspicious. Could it be too heavy trafic on this wireless connection?

This morning I called my provider. (They are closed in the evenings).

- Have you checked the xyz-light?
- No, I have not
- Do that - check if there is light on the XYZ-bulb.

Had to raise up and climp to the ceiling. No lights.

- No lights there, I said, when down to my cellphone again.
- Turn off the modem. Then turn it on again

I once again climbed to the ceiling. And did what I was told.
Went down again.

- Yes, I have turned it off and on again.
- Chech if there is light on the XYZ-bulp

Up again. No light.

Down again.

- No lights
- It can take a while

Up once more. Good traing for my balance, I thought. Rosa and Felicia were sure papa had gone crazy. They went away.

Suddenly a blink. And another. Yesss. It's light on the XYZ bulb.

- It's light there now.
- Try to connect
- Ok, I'll do
First try. Nothing happend but "Could not find...."
Second. Lucky me...
- I'm on the net. Thank you! But tell me, might the modem fell out from time to time like this?
- Yes, it does happen, so keep and eye on the XYZ-lamp.
- OK, I'll do. Thanks again.
Papa reading Questions for Anna and Solvi. More than 160 Questions. I think this was a song question - or an animal sound.Relaxing Rosa after I again was on the net. She layed down at my Toolbox. Next time I'm in trouble, she sure will help me out of it.

Hurray - Hurrah - Hurra

My wireless modem arrived this afternoon. I placed it on a beam up under the ceiling. Pluged in the Powercord - and that was it. I'm on the net from our Summerhouse. I'll think I will celebrate with some sparkling fluid. With Anna. There might be some good night stories....
