It started with a Water Bed
I had a feeling it was going to be one of those days.
The feeling started last night when I discovered half my bed was soaking wet. I knew for a fact it wasn’t me and the stench confirmed it anyway – Penny had pissed in her sleep..
Then I had had to set an alarm as I had a morning appointment up in Dublin. I hate alarms.
Then there was an incident in the house and I had to cancel my Dublin appointment with half an hour’s notice.
Various people arrived over the next hour including Very Good Friend. Also a nurse called in the middle of the chaos to check up on Herself. She [nurse] must think we’re living in a madhouse.
Then I had to make a trunk call to a company and every time I got through we were cut off. Three times I tried. I had to rely on email in the end.
Then Penny got sick in her bed.
Things finally settled down a bit though my head’s still in a spin.
Then I discovered Firefox isn’t working properly so I had to download and install Waterfox [which does work properly]. That means copying over all the info that browsers tend to need.
RTE’s new website in Firefox and in Waterfox………!
In the course of that I discovered that Twitter is no more. It’s now X. For fucks sake! X? It means nothing except maybe ten? Or incorrect? Or buried treasure?
X just about sums up my attitude to today.
Huh. RTE’s website loads fine on Firefox on my end. That’s Firefox on Linux Mint that is.
That’s a rather strange problem. Incidentally it isn’t the only site that rendered incorrectly. There was another that had black text on a dark brown background which was impossible to read. I mentioned this to the owner and he replied that it was in fact white text on a dark brown background. Sure enough, that’s the way it displayed in Waterfox. I thought it might be an extension, but they are all working happily in the new browser.
