Good morning / afternoon folks.

Raining here, in the low 40's, best we'll see is low 50's today.

Spent all morning on the phone with India tech support. My Wife got a new phone.

So what happened was Samsung has a transfer app to transfer all your contacts, etc, to the new phone. The guy talking her through it yesterday told her to push the button to de-register the old phone & start the new one. Only one problem, the old phone didn't have the transfer app. He didn't tell her to check for that & now the old phone didn't know what to do with the app on the new phone when it tried to connect.

So, had to mess with the router settings to allow the old phone access to the net to d/l the app, then hook it up again & transfer the info. But along the way something went wrong, phone didn't complete the setup & she couldn't get any calls/messages. So that was the debacle this morning, they had to reset it 2X before it started working again. At least it seems like it's working again..(knock on wood). Then her Samsung account, linked to Google, which is apparently a necessity said the wrong password was put in too often so had to reset that.

Technology = fun fun fun....

Time for breakfast, you all take care & have a good safe day.

Hello Borg, Lori, and Yuki Oni

Good night Marie, sleep well.

My weekend looks to be a wet one, so it's TV or a good book or two for me.....

Hi Bree
I have not read a single book in ages. TV is my kind of relaxing.

Good to hear you are at least trying to get some night sleep.
The are always some exceptions, but we humans need some night sleep.

Hi Andre
Yeah.. we do need sleep and I'm trying my best every night.. some weeks are better then others though.

Good Afternoon, Marie.

Thank you for the kind thought. I'm wishing the same for you. Have a nice safe Friday and weekend.

All the best.

Hi WXC
Thanks i dont even remember if i had a nice weekend that weekend.. I am busy most of the time with a lot of crap.
Now I'm having a really bad cold (I'm on the second week and its no sign of being over for a while longer)
I hope you are having a nice weekend

Like @Marie SWE I don't feel like I've enjoyed a real winter until I've seen a few inches of snow cover the ground. Seems highly unlikely this year (again).

At least I can console myself with taking the Mini out for a long run. Got a good opportunity today.
Marie will be pleased to learn that I made the most of it before the rains arrive tomorrow.

Nice to hear you have been able to enjoy the Mini.. To bad you haven't been able to enjoy some snow this year... perhaps you should take a trip to iceland, norway or sweden next winter to enjoy some snow again

Afternoon Dr Borg.

These things are sent to try us.....

...the verdict is invariably 'guilty'

Really good to hear from you.......

Hi Bree
I have not read a single book in ages. TV is my kind of relaxing.

If it's the film of a book, there's invariably more depth in the book.....

Nice to hear you have been able to enjoy the Mini.. To bad you haven't been able to enjoy some snow this year... perhaps you should take a trip to iceland, norway or sweden next winter to enjoy some snow again

That would be nice, perhaps I should. I've been to Iceland before, had a great time.

Hello Marie

Afternoon TC


Afternoon Borg. I always move my clients contacts (calendar, tasks) to their email account (gmail, Outlook, etc. ) and allow the phone to pick them up from there. This means even if you lose phone or it stops working contacts, calendar and task all get restored from their mail account on to new device. It also means you can use computer for mass input.


Yes all playstore accounts need to be a google account. PI (three letters)


Well I got my network reconfigured. Move ISP router from office to basement, added two more switches to separate the lans further.


With good planning everything went according to plan. Getting ready for IPTV.
