Modern Technology Conspiring Against Me

fredbassettI've been having random email problems for the last few weeks (so has Mr fb). It improved, but is now back to being strange again and we can't work out why. Seems to be an ISP problem not an over-active spam filter, with mail seemingly bouncing back to sender randomly. I normally reply rapidly to emails, so if I don't it's probably caught up somewhere in cyber-space, or alternatively bouncing back to you like a rubber ball. If this happens, or if you're expecting a reply you don't get, please post here to let me know, so I can track if the problem is still ongoing or not. Thanks, guys! (I also seem to get comment notifications at some times and not others, but I suspect that is just the usual LJ weirdness.)

Date: 2007-10-20 10:53 am (UTC)I've had two emails to you bounce as possible spam before it even gets to you. And one returned today as undeliverable, timed out. I've deleted the bounce notifications, but if it happens again I'll either try to email it to you or cut and paste the important bits here... *g*
Mind you, I've sent you twelve emails in the last two days, so maybe I am spamming... *veg* Although I still think the random addition of the word *porn* did me in...

Please could you try pasting them into a new massage and seeing if that reaches me?
MR fb is now onto the case with BT as a teccie friend things he may know the root of the problem, so fingers crossed .........

Date: 2007-10-20 01:50 pm (UTC)I realised that something was wrong when you asked me for the episode urls when I had already sent them to you... and then the bounce notification arrived after your comment!

Date: 2007-10-20 02:00 pm (UTC)Mr fb still on phone to email provider, and now starting to sound grumpy, which isn't a good sign! Words like "Would you mind explaining WHY you can't do that?" have just been delivered ...........

Date: 2007-10-20 11:24 pm (UTC)Oh, yes, meant to say: hope you enjoy the Grand Prix tomorrow. Although I'm not entirely sure who you'll be cheering for after some of the comments over on Telperion's lj.

Date: 2007-10-21 09:29 am (UTC)I stand by my belief that the internet has been sentient since 2000 and is now in it's 'stroppy teenage' phase, and thus hates everyone!
Porn never fails to improve a sucky day, though I won't be back with any until at least tomorrow. I shall be 'porn in reserve' in case tomorrow is sucky too.
Also, which icon? I'm missing something here, missing things isn't fun at all!

Date: 2007-10-21 09:53 am (UTC)The icon was the one she used in reply to my comment in her short Don/Will interogation piece posted yesterday on Numb3rs_slash. The cut down one from that pic munchkin put up with him leaning against a wall, holding a rifle pointing downwards with the mega-tight jeans and double thigh-straps. That pic sends me into a puddle of goo every time I see it. Just makes me want to write at his feet. Ooops, did I just broadcast that thought to the world at large??????????

Date: 2007-10-21 09:59 am (UTC)I'm a huge - and long-standing - Ferrari supported, as is Mr fb, so at least we can shout for the same side! I'm not a big fan of Kimi Raikonnen, but I do like Massa, and I adored Michael Schumacher. To be entirely honest, most of the races are as boring as hell, but as Leda and I agreed a few weeks ago, we still watch it for the huge great fast soap-opera nature of the whole thing. And in the hope that we might eventually get a decent track designed to allow over-taking and cars that CAN overtake. *sighs for the good old days when Ribens Barricello won a race in Germany from the back of the grid*

(Haven't answered the last one yet, but will do now!)

OH! THAT PICTURE! Yeah, that's...that's a good picture. Yeah that picture kind of makes me want to write porn too, I can totally understand....
*resists urge to pet it*

Date: 2007-10-22 05:52 pm (UTC)I did produce porn, utterly random porn not connected to any of the other porn, which was quite naughty. It was fun though!
