My Hanging Scrotum of WiFi Connectivity
When I signed up for $15/month WiFi, I was given a device to improve WiFi connectivity. The device plugs into A/C and sits by my window. Actually, it does not sit anywhere. It is in a Rouses plastic shopping bag, then slipped over the end of a board which is slid into the metal shelf over my window. So I call it my hanging scrotum of WiFi Connectivity.
All was working OK. Not great, but OK. Then Friday dawn, I lost internet connectivity. I figured my account had expired. Pages in Firefox displayed this message.
The dude was supposed to have e-mailed me BEFORE my month was up. I grumbled some, went to bed, got my ass down to the Cafe with my $15 in the early afternoon.
He told me he had not shut down my service. He had improved the service and all I need do is press enter at the screen pictured above. He asked me whether I had pressed enter. I said yes, but I had received an incomprehensible warning message from NoScript. He scratched his head and offered to stop by and see if he could figure it out.
He then gave me a new improved hanging scrotum, which I installed as soon as I got home.
The NoScript error message was still there. I had a thought. No NoScript in IE. I opened up IE, clicked on enter. No dire warnings or incomprehensible error messages. I then re-opened firefox. All was copacetic.
But I still kept losing my Winamp radio. Without winamp playing music, web pages did not load.
I went back to bed to finish my sleep. [More next post.]
