Msgboard Chatroom Marathon
Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.
It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.
New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P
Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

Fuzzy, I like the Toadstools and Leaves picture. It reminds me of a B&W that I took a few years back of toadstools with snow on them. I need to dig up that picture....
The "angie" picture has a nice composition and lighting to it. Very soft looking. I like the name, too!

I know what you mean about DA being your second home. I go there and browse the photography section all the time. WinCustomize is here for skins, and DA handles the rest. Definitely not sites that compete. I think that they do nicely in their co-existence.

DA is now giving me a headache! Since late last night I've not been able to logon. Nothing has changed on my pc - it's on 24/7, managed to logon from work ok but nothing from here 
I get so frustrated with pc's when things like this happen and you can't see an explanation. Done all the usual like deleting cookies and temp internet files, change the password, check the system time etc. THEY HATE ME

Thanks all for the kind words on my pics. Here's another frustrating thing. I have loads of good pics for which I can't find the negatives. This is a small house, they can't have just vanished. I'm having a bad day again. Of course, I forgot, it's Monday...
Hey KG, don't associate yourself too closely with the Angie pic - people might think it's you

FL-"Hey KG, don't associate yourself too closely with the Angie pic - people might think it's you" It's not? 
Fuzzy, there are all sorts of reasons that you can't connect from home. First, do you have Norton? If so, did it automatically update itself? Sometimes it tightens security without asking. Second, and probably the most possible reason, is that your ISP is having DNS issues and can't find DA. This happens *a lot*. When you go home, do this:
(make sure that you are connected to the internet)
get to a command line
Type the following: ping 66.28.104.19
That should give you information on if it is actually reachable or not.
To get more DNS information, you can type in at the command line:
tracert 66.28.104.19
That information can be given to your ISP to track the problem.
(66.28.104.19 is the IP of DeviantArt, in case you didn't know )

oops, I just gave you information that may not help (sorry). I was thinking that you were having more of a connection issue. With logging on, that doesn'tmake much sense. Your cookies shouldn't matter, as you can log on from all over the place. the only thing that could have happened is that they accidentallyy blocked the IP address that you are using. Do you have a static IP? If not, disconnect then reconnect to the internet to get a new IP. If you do, contact Jark and ask him "Wassup with that?"

Fuzzy, everything that I have learned about computers has been out of self defense
It's amazing what Norton can do to ya'! Mind you, I *do* use it myself, though. Their protection can be a bit *too* good at times, though! Glad that you got logged back on. I hate things like that.....

I don't mind things going wrong when you can see what's happened. But I get so fed up when something's working one minute and not the next without anything happening inbetween. Norton obviously updated in the background without me noticing - be nice if it said what it had updated. Wouldn't like to be without it though.

I hate it when windows does that. One time it did something and suddenly my files were all strange... kind of like they all converted to some DOS system. Lucky I found out how to undo that update! It thought I had some other kind of computer system... that is scary to me, that they can actually read your system wrong and proceed to change everything!

Norton updates all the time in the background. At home, I'm on a dialup, and the only way that I know that it updated is because my connection gets bogged down.
Windows updates scare me. I review them before updating. They will update your video driver for you every now and then and then all hell breaks loose. I don't like the auto update stuff.
Well, I am off to my Business Law class now!

One thing I do with Windows is turn off the auto update. I don't like it doing things behind my back. At the moment it tells me there is an update for my Nvidia driver...NO NO NO!!! My 30.82 driver is the one to have, the update messes up Unreal Tournament 2003, Nvidia have acknowledged this and will release a fix soon. Naughty Microsoft!
Psst, KG, let us know how the classes are going.

FL, I agree about the MS updates. i don't do that, either. I don't like them deciding what drivers I should use. *Bad* idea!
Classes are going OK. I have 220 out of 220 points in my Business communications Class (about 1/4 way through). Business Law is another story. I only got 82% on my last test (there are only 4) so, hopefully the rest will be better. If he grades on a curve, though, I'll be a lot better.

GM. Thanks for your kind comments, pleased you like the pics.
There does seem to be a delay in me being able to read some of your posts Last night the one in red wasn't there even though I posted after it 
Must be cause you're round the other side of the world or something.

Another quake last night - didn't feel a thing.
Fortunately the UK is on solid rock so our quakes tend to be gentle sways instead of violent shakes. Strange how we never see any activity from the biggest fault which cuts Scotland in half. If you look at a map and find Loch Ness (with or without monster...) the fault becomes obvious. The bit Of Scotland above is heading towards Scandanavia at a rapid rate. Soon the Scots there will be Norwegian...

I used to love the time in the darkroom. It was kind of soothing... like meditating.
