A Few Administrative Tweaks for Life
It has to happen sometime. It always does eventually. Change is not unique, it does not apply only to individuals. New realities apply to everything. Sooner or later occasions arrive that demand change. Let's call them 'a few administrative tweaks for life'. Yes, they occur even on "Leap years". Surprise! This is a 'Leap year'. How about that? Tweaking the old status quo; setting a new direction again. Worthy of note, it is incredibly important to try; there are many tweaks required to smooth speed bumps. Breathe deeply. Relax!Issues: Everyone Has Them. Nothing New There.
Whether it is time, age, new jobs, or occupations, health, unexpected events, new obligations, societal or other. Have you ever discovered a new issue that can be repaired easily with a few essential tweaks for life? Do you recognize oncoming situations and deal with them head on? Do you always see roadblocks? Total wreckage ahead?Fear: Are There Mountains too High to Climb?
Does fear postpone, alter, or entirely preclude action? Are there mountains pretending to be too high to climb? How about impossible, raging rivers to be crossed? Inexplicable, unfathomable life events that realistically may alter forever, or cost lives with unpredictable losses? How about unexpected windfalls? Are they always life-changing? Can they be happy, sad, disastrous or just confusing? Life is for learning. Once in a while undefinable problems surface, even good ones —and may remain unrecognized, much less categorized. Read that twice. Administrative tweaks for life are a good thing.Patient Acceptance Of Virtually Any Reality Can Occur.
Best of all, some are exotic, unspeakable reality. And equally important to realize, unique realities in life include events which may not be repairable. Impossible tasks do exist. Surely for those, classic administrative tweaks for life may never offer a realistic solution. Therefore, consider creative, wishful thinking. 'Outside of the box' may be encouraged, even essential. More than likely, delusion may be a realistic description to offer. Patient acceptance of virtually any reality and the irreparable can occur, and does.Most Important to Remember
Finally, what is the most important to remember? Nobody, significantly not even the most clever, can halt the reality of time. Not even using clever administrative tweaks for life —over a lifetime.

Wow! The world is turning faster.
The world is turning faster? Is it? For a whole year? And...do we know why? How can we tell? Old-timers say "Just look up at the stars and hang onto the grass. Let'er spin. If you have grass, that is." Really. Maybe its safer to ride a bicycle on a moonbeam up in space too? Albert Einstein knows, but we do not. But— never give up. Keep on breathing. There 'ya go! That secret is supposed to work, even in March. And here's a helpful tip: Shovel first, breathe, shovel second, breathe, and repeat. Enjoy yourself and the inevitable ride on a green carpet or a lawnmower comes with sun-in-your face May flowers. Always watch for satellites, red moons, falling stars, interesting ideas, and new motivation. Wow, the world IS spinning faster, maybe we do know why. Get the idea? Getting older seems to spin the world faster. But only when you're doing busy things. Old guy advice. See? Old guys know stuff.A Catch-up or Two
Apparently we finally caught ourselves dithering with time flying by for various reasons. There has been a lot of questionable political stuff happening; Canadian, American, globally. That's a very large collections of incomingbytes© passing us by on the breeze every day since we last posted. Winter. Work, projects, delays, distractions, world events. Med challenges. Maybe a bit of resting up was essential. A birthday or two. Endless war in Europe, political and ideological unrest, demonstrations prove daily that if it can happen again, it does. Murphy's law. If it can happen there it can happen anywhere. Wow! the world is turning faster. Go figure. So in the interim— trying to decide to carry on blogging, a plethora of wise unknown tech entities decided to start using iterations of incomingbytes© as extra-valuable search words for Google search entries etc. Not funny— but not surprising either.Then came the bug.Digital is bendy and trendy.
To explain, that was more than annoying disconcerting because my blogs, the domain incomingbytes.com© and incomingbytes.blogspot.com, it's ancestor, have been in use around and registered for about 14+ years. It was a mystery, now resolved. One or more of those search articles in Google® and Safari® seemed to make it impossible to bring up this site, —my very own web site. On my own computer, yet. Most annoying to say the least. Other computers and the iPhone discovered them just fine. Go figure. Digital is trendy and bendy. Entrepreneurs use it for whatever. No matter.Welcome Back, Dear Readers!
I finally got the issues resolved with a lot of experimentation, AI, and exasperation. Trying to find answers in a tiny 8GB Ram computer, challenging even with experimentation and coffee. Eventually to my delight, a couple of days later, incomingbytes.com© appeared on the screen with some significant suggestions from Web Hosting Canada with tweaks and tries. and many failures. Much appreciated, WHC, a couple of helpful reminders by tech service. Win 10 files still exist. So the bottom line seems to be: it does not help to have 10 years of inhospitable host entries, exchanged of old backup files, host files, cache files, the guts of 'whatever' cookies files stuck to tires, —and the burden of shared data, long-ignored DNS flushes on three active interactive data-exchanging browsers, which immediately replaced themselves with backup files when deleted—were all certainly capable of holding up serious hosting.Learn, but Don't Forget Is the Key.
I had to re-learn how to navigate the tricky tech guts of a real Win10 operating system again, complete with hosting files, dns flushes, cache flushes, network mapping, admin authorization, the stuff I once did use daily in days of yore, but happily forgot whilst writing, chasing words and diddling with two relatively modern computers...and here's why; modern operating systems makes stuff easy to use, but hard to find, chase down and fix. If you don't know where to look, or how to alter them. Especially problematic vulnerabilities. I Got IT. That's why the world is turning faster. Great tip: Learn and don't forget technical skills just because new systems are so convenient. I better get Win 11 pretty soon. I hear it's easier, better, faster....uh, huh. See? So the 6-million dollar blogger trundles on, waiting for the snow to melt, the world spinning faster or not. Time does that. See what happens?**
