Slow Again Today

[DFB]

Hey guys,

It's no better up here in the Northeast. I've been experiencing the same "hangups" RobS described in his post and just as Del says won't refresh or backup and if you hit the stop button sometimes the page loads. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Sure is nice though, to know that Muhammad has his electronic wrenches, and a bottle of headache remedy by his side! I imagine he has to tinker with this now and then.

I wonder if Muhammad put in a bad batch of diesel this morning? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

This is strange! At the times shown on all of your post, I was getting normal and customary response times (like right now). Maybe ISP related? (I am on UUNET right now). Muhammad, if I remember correctly, did you mention once that your servers are tied-in with AT&T? I have an ISP with them also, but haven't been on AT&T at all today.

Yeah, del, Muhammad's diesel might have gotten a little rain or snow in it lately./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif As long as Muhammad's still working on it, everything is OK though; he'll get it. It's just that Roy scared me with the thought that maybe Muhammad was through working on it and I still had the problem./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Could be water in the fuel. Running rough and surges under load. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bird; I scared you? I might be butt-ugly, but I'm not scary looking. BTW, what's with the Blue-Book <font color=blue>I'm afraid I have to agree with Roy.</font color=blue> Why you afraid of me?? (Just kidding, I know what you meant in both cases, just had to razz you /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif)

BEYOND SLOW...

Now it is slower then molasses in Alaska.

Reminds me of a program I have that allows me to run Windows on my Mac (or pretend like I am). I have one program that only works in Windows, but the interface is so slow it is unuseable. I keep the program around only to show newbies how the mac runs and how slow "windows" is /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif.

signing off until we get back out of 1st Gear...

It's just nice to know someone is actually there looking at this.

My old internet provider people were trained to go into a long spiel about looking at my settings etc when I was having problems or that it was my modem, my computer etc. Well that's possible, but I would tell them that I have two different computers running two different operating systems running two different brand modems, using two different phone lines (one under ground, one overhead) and still nothing. AFter that they would listen, if neither could log on it was NOT my fault.

Then they acquired 24 hour tech "Help" based out of state when they were bought out. They always wanted my user name, password, grandmothers bra size etc before they would even SPEAK to me, the idiots. One time I was trying to tell them of a sure problem with their equipment, they "checked" and said there was no problem. At that very instant, (about midnight?) their office in Tacoma (NWRain.net) was literally burning to the ground. DUH

Having someone actually looking after the mysteries behind how this board operates sets this at the top of the class.

Right now at least the posting part is working like normal!

OK, Del, I surrender... You win, you had me laughing like anything! The <font color=blue>grandmothers bra size</font color=blue> reminded me of a Monty Python skit where everyone had to give their shoe size, even when calling Fire and Rescue. That's when I really lost it. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
