My life in France

A few days ago, I wrote about gadgets & how to break them. Well this afternoon as many will know, Google search stopped working. At the time I was messing about with my other blogs settings & needed to search for the correct spelling of a word, (please excuse any spelling mistakes on this blog) & you know the rest. "This site may harm your computer" was the only result anyone got. My wife said it should say "My husband may harm your computer". But it was nothing to do with me(well not this time). Google have stated on their blog that it was due to a "human error". They receive a list of harmful sites from stopbadware.org to ascertain which sites install malicious software on people's computers and merit a warning. These are then blocked by Google. Unfortunately some "human" at Google told the main program to block everything. The result was that many many blogs all over the world will have spelling mistakes. A spokesperson from Google has stated that "We will carefully investigate this incident and put more robust file checks in place to prevent it from happening again," in layman's terms I think this means the "human" responsible is now another so called victim of the economic downturn.

Cold weather to sweep the UK. That's the headline on the BBC weather website. I'm sure it's going to be, & the wind will sting your ears & cheeks until they feel as if they are going to fall off. It's called a Siberian wind. & surprise surprise it coming from Denmark & Norway & Sweden. It's low pressure arriving via Spain then France and plonking it self right on top of the UK and dragging the cold air in from the east of Europe. So the Daily Mail can spend Saturday complaining about the Spanish, Sunday the French & Monday the Polish.

I take back every thing I said regarding working with my son. He was very willing all day. I won't tell what he was willing to do, but rest assured tomorrow I will take a different approach, & maybe I will still have some tress left in the garden.

OK my internet connection is now back on. My service provider said they received 73593 calls saying they had a problem connecting to the internet, and the problem seems to have come from the exchange just near me. Must have been a problem there end.

I have finally agreed with my wife that I am addicted to gadgets. Before I used to adjust the satellite dish until I had the best signal strength, then I would scan all possible channels to find the most obscure things that we would never watch.

Is it going to be Tuesday morning blues for Barack Obama tomorrow or just another day at the office. I wouldn't look forward to taking over the job of running a country at the moment, given the financial & terror problems.
