I know I'm dating myself, but I walk like Grandpa.
But the knee is slowly improving. I have to put the brace on when using stairs or I'm on my feet for a while, but there's more range of movement without pain.
You'd think it would be a good time for blogging, February and bum knee and all. Except no matter what browser I use the stupid computer grinds and grinds and gives me a "Not Responding" or just fights me doing anything involving the internet. I don't think it's bandwidth - once I get to Netflix I stream fine. And using the cell phone and the web works fine. Norton says it can't find anything bad. So I'm thinking that there's a conflict somewhere - something on the computer that doesn't play well with something in browsers.
But I can't figure it out. So I'm doing everything via right index finger and cell phone.
Which is a bloody nuisance.
You always reminded me of a short Walter Brennan.
ReplyDeleteI need the hat. Grandpa had a distinctive hat.
DeleteGlad it's getting better!
ReplyDeleteTonight's the first night it hasn't felt hot - the inflamation is going out. Yay!
DeleteHang in there - put a circle of salt around your computer chair, mutter "Omni Omni VOR" (Murphy's Law can explain) then go on hold at Comcast.
ReplyDeleteVHF omnidirectional range?
DeleteDoesn't Borepatch live in your area now? Give a shout out to him for computer assistance.
ReplyDeleteOne thing you might try is to order a live CD of Mint Linux to run on your computer, see if you're able to navigate using it. If it's as slow as Windows you'll know it's a hardware problem other than a software problem.

Do I get to choose between peppermint and spearmint?
DeleteHad the same problem after the Jan update to Windows 10. I found that the RapportServices (part of the Trusteer app) was a CPU hog. I uninstalled Trusteer and things are much better.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the peg is getting better.
Ah ha! I did install 10 when it came out. And it is acting like something is sucking CPU away. I will investigate.
