Due to technical internet issues, I have been a bit behind the curve with The Pisstakers. Basically, despite the highest of technology at my disposal, I have been driven apopleptic because I cannot get online properly. However, there may be an end in sight to the shouting, screaming and desire to open windows and throw a computer or two into the trees.

According to a tech friend, a new wireless card should cure a pulsating wireless signal that lets me view pages half a screen at a time, and publish correctly for 17 seconds between fatal signal drops...

A wireless card, huh, easy. There are thousands to choose from, so finding the right one should be like picking fruit off the ground. Not so fast. Who was it said that you can get whatever you want whenever you want in this age where consumer is king? They were talking out their elbow. It has taken 2 trips to Walmart and Best Buy, a customer service episode that doesn't bear repeating, plus a couple of sorties into the world of eBay. (not forgetting an aborted trip to an online Mac store) to eventually find what I am looking for - I think. All being well, Amazon have it under control and I will be back to a reliable blogging service in 2 to 6 business days.

In my cynical state, that probably means two missed deliveries and a trip to the Fed-Ex depot in the pouring rain, in a couple of weeks, but, hey, it's Christmas and I am ready for a surprise or two.

MyBlogLog Sunday, no hassle

There was supposed to be video footage of last week's MBL Sunday, but it will be rolling tomorrow instead. The Breaking News team broke their lenses, and didn't fancy a blind run, but all is well again and filming will resume. As part of the deal, any bloggers who mention MyBlogLog Sunday will get a visit too, so you know what to do if you want to get a glitzy showing on Youtube!

Till tomorrow. And I hope this slips out before the wireless goes fooey again.
