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?
