Thanks To The Shaw Help Desk And Tech That Came

Well interestingly enough, looks like the nice fellow that came and replaced all the connectors and the modem was not the one to fix the speed drop out problem. I posted a blog post on Twitter and Shaw Help Desk saw it and asked me to PM them - so I did and he did something. It dropped my connection for 5 or so minutes then when it came back on it has been stable since. I got no idea what the guy did, but it seems to have fixed it. So Woot for the Shaw Help Desk people. You guys seem to rock.

Although they entire building was out (Shaw only - Sasktel was fine) for 15 min. late last night. Oh well. I should be freaking sleeping at 12:20 am anyways LOL. All I know is the entire aria I live in has been a bit off for Shaw internet after an outage a while back. Anyway - lets hope this fixed it for good.

Now if only they could get YouTube to upload faster. Sigh... At least once a week it will take 3 or 5 hours to upload a vlog that should take 15 minutes. Sigh. But that is a different story LOL. Being a content provider can be frustrating...

Oh and while I'm at it, yes Sasktel has unlimited bandwidth, but WOW you got to pay a fortune to get a good upload speed. I thoroughly recommend the Shaw wide open 150 plan to anyone who does a lot of streaming and uploading. Man I have been watching Netflix in full quality HD and downloading stuff on the PC at the same time as I am playing on the tablet with social media and it was fine with it. My friends who both game and stream at the same time love it as well.

    Excellent! AT&T was able to reconfigure my modem, over the wires, amazing.

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.

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.
