Novelties

There are so many offers to try new systems that I've gone into lockdown and click on as little as possible. Being the first to have any new gadget is for nerds, I fear.

Even if it seems that I spend much time in a mental space that is close to "The Big Bang Theory", I continue to dislike it. Skype is beyond the pale and since I've even stopped using that outmoded technology, the telephone, except when absolutely necessary, visits in person to real people continues to be the life that seems most appealing.

The "Friendconnect" systems just leave me wondering how I could turn them off to save bandwidth. I don't want to connect...

Bandwidth

Having noticed that live linking here is increasingly bring IPs from far and wide and slowing my connection, I have decided to leave the reader to search for links themselves, if anything takes their fancy.
It's worth studying IPs with the use of a firewall, btw. IP blocking can speed a connection up quite a bit.
