An Englishman In Japan

Living As A Legal Alien In Japan

Websites!

I did a search on jobs just now, as I'm looking for some more work. When I clicked the first link I got on the search (silly mistake - I should have read the address first, as it contained 'blog' in it, and would not be a company), I got someone's blog with billions of pictures of people playing with little dogs on it.

I decided to quit the page and return to my search, but the PC wouldn't let me, so I thought, 'OK, it wants to load the entire page first, so I will wait.' After five minutes (!) I got a message saying I didn't have the relevant plug-in. So I clicked on that and waited. Still no action. So, I went to make a cup of tea.

When I came back, still no action. THEN, I got a message saying there was not sufficient memory and that it was recommended to either close my browser or restart the computer (I wasn't using Opera at the time - sorry, folks). So I decided to switch the tab off and get onto my blog to write about this. BUT, it wouldn't let me open this page! It just sat there with a little hourglass for another five minutes. So I closed: the browser.

After 'Disk Cleanup', I tried to open the browser, but I got a message telling me that I have to close my browser first before I can open it! It WAS closed! Pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL made no effect, as usual (I wanted to manually close the browser from the 'Process Log'), and I didn't want to press it too many times as Windows PCs have a nasty habit of either taking a very long time and opening multiple Process Logs, giving an error message on a blue screen (recommending that you press CTRL+ALT+DEL !!!) or restarting.

After waiting a further five minutes, I restarted the PC.doh

Then of course, you have to wait for MSN Messenger to start up, with multiple people all logging in, and pings all over the place before you get the MSN Today coming up (which very often tells you that the service is unavailable), and the Yahoo Messenger starting up, telling you that you have three messages (which are inevitably unwanted, as Yahoo is easy prey for Nigerian scams).

Then, I finally got to write this. After half an hour.

I'd like to log into that person's blog again and tell them what their website did to my PC, but I'm scared it'll take another hour to do it.troll

Anyway, feck it! Just a little website which reminds me of my catholic days back in Blighty. Enjoy Father Ted! FECK! headbang
