“Your switch isn’t responding. Please check its power and wifi connection.” ARRGGGHHHH!!! I spent month trying to resolve this. There is all kinds of voodoo on the web, but here’s what worked for me. 1) Find the least used channel from 1, 6 and 11 in your 2.4 settings. Use that channel. (6 is usually […]
Hello everyone. Thanks for your patience while I rebuilt my blogs from individual posts. Took most of a day, but the text is back in place.Now I have to gather up the images, and re-install them in their posts, and finally try to indicate when the posts were originally written. (Some go back almost two […]
That subject statement is true, and if you want to understand how websites work, here’s the most fundamental thing you can learn: Web pages exist like ghosts, only in your web-broswer. When you visit a website, it is not like seeing a painting thru a window. The webpage itself does not exists in finished form on […]
Subject says it: about a month or so ago, my Mac started randomly rebooting. Not when I did “this”… or “that”, or even when I was in the room. Everything is rosy, and BANG! it reboots. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. The most common reason for that would be something hardware […]

Unlike the websites which I create and maintain and control for them, I have absolutely no […]

Period. End of story. Here’s what Apple says:https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208436 So… what to do? 1) find out which apps you have that […]
The new cable is here! The new cable is here! (an homage to Steve Martin…) BlueJeansCable is the real deal for ethernet and hdmi (and other) cables. It’s also expensive. I try to hard-wire everything I can. I have cable tunning from my 24-port switch running all over the place, including out into the […]

Generally, if some of your emails bounce, but others do not, then DO make sure that your IMAP and SMTP settings are both from the same host. You can no longer use a different outgoing server (SMTP) from your email address. That is, if your email is myname@godaddy.com, and you get your email at IMAP.godaddy.com, […]
Get a good spam filter, and use it. I don’t recommend setting it to automatically delete junk, since nothing is perfect and you’ll every now and then find an important email accidentally filtered into your junk mailbox. Be sure to white list it (remove it from the junk folder.) I cannot imagine why anyone would […]
