What's with the reliability lately?

But it did work consistently provided you used someone other than noserve.

True, albeit briefly compared to these days.

I remember patching XP on dial up

Rik · Feb 06, 2011, 10:41:52

Hell, wasn't it.

Simon · Feb 06, 2011, 12:08:50

It was as good as we knew at the time.

Rik · Feb 06, 2011, 12:14:48

True enough.

esh · Feb 07, 2011, 13:03:10

I never had to patch Win 3.1 on dialup!!

Rik · Feb 07, 2011, 14:27:55

This is true.

I had no connection last night for a few hours. I checked the status on idnet today and there was nothing mentioned about it.

Loss of sync, Lona? If so and it took place between midnight and 7am, chances are it's BT engineering work.

Yes it was just after midnight and went on after I went to bed at 3am.

Rik · Feb 07, 2011, 17:05:56

Classic BT pattern I'm afraid.

Wasted my nocturnal viewing.

You'll really have to start sleeping at night.

Days are for sleeping.

I do my best thinking in the wee small hours. I've never been a morning person.

Rik · Feb 07, 2011, 18:32:41

I'm more of a 4-12 person myself.

Sparks of inspiration do tend to come then for me too.
