5 Hours For Maintenance?


So at 2:25 am I stop watching Netflix and wonder how the bandwidth is doing for the month so far. I hit Shaw's web page and get this. So I go to bed. I wake up at 4:40 am (ish) and check it again - still down. Being it went down for maintenance at midnight, I got to wonder how long it takes them to do backups and so on and get this thing back up. I mean WOW at least 5 hours it seems.



But it was for not, as I am nowhere near my limit for some strange reason. I been processing my vlogs before upload and they tend to only be 1/3 the size so the upload side of things is way down. Still I been hitting at least two hours a day on Netflix and watching more YouTube than ever, so I assumed I would end up being over the 150 mark by now, but NOPE.


Then again the most I ever had was less than 200 GB and that was when I dumped 68 GB to the cloud in a week. So... Who knows. Guess I am safe with my 300 GB limit. I would hate to have to switch to Sasktel as they have only an 800 K upload speed at the price range I would be looking at. This would mean a 5 or 6 hour upload time on average. No thanks.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.
