The Trouble With Dongles …

You know, unless I’m very much mistaken, I’m thinking that T-Mobile — and the Virgin Mobile equivalent, over in the States — are either having trouble.

Or Yahoo is …

Hmmm …

Bless him, Kevin D, happily trying to post on his blog, Jipdog’s Journal, looks like he’s having trouble.

I’d left him a comment, on a post he’d done, yesterday.

All well and good.

Until Kevin tried to post up a reply comment …

He found he couldn’t …

And was rather annoyed …

I know I’d be.

Something I know I didn’t know was that Blogger will let you — in theory — sign in with an OpenID.

Which is what Kevin — and Angela, over in the States — tried to do, last night, to put up his comment.

Or this morning, in Angela’s case.

Understandable, Kevin gave me a call, last night, to see if I could help.

I couldn’t, unfortunately.

But I do know that, when he tried to send me a screen grab, to show me what was going on … ?

I just got the location of the grab, on his hard drive.

Hmmm …

From where I’m sitting, it sounds like his T-Mobile dongle is having trouble uploading stuff.

And that both he and Angela may be having trouble with their Yahoo accounts.

What I’d like to know is quite simple, really …

What on Earth is going on … ?

Let me know, if you’ve an idea …

Oh, and in case you didn’t know it, it looks like Facebook have had more fuel piled onto the Privacy problems they’re having … !

Oy VEH!!!

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
