I can’t say I didn’t expect something like this, but it appears,
That the Google Team is canceling out Google Blogs and email accounts of people who speak to loudly about Second Ammendment Rights, an or hold Conservative Values. All I can say is, when the lawsuit starts, sign me up!
“XP users, surfing with Internet Explorer should avoid using the F1 key when browsing the internet.” from: BorePatch
It get’s worse and worse. Web browsing is basic a hit and miss option.
From what I can get off of my few trips across the internet that actually work, the problem could be in my DLINK router. It seems that a lot of other people with DLINK routers connected to a cable modem, are having the same problem. Unfortunately DLINK, has seems to have washed their hands of the issue. (real nice of them, eh?) I’ve found that rebooting the router helps, a little bit. But it’s starting to look like it’s time to start looking for a new router. 
For the past few days I’ve been having problems getting to a lot of different web pages. Originally I thought it was a problem with Charters DNS service, but changing DNS servers didn’t help anything.
I try to open a web page, and it hangs, usually about halfway through loading. Sometimes a refresh will complete the load, sometimes not. Kind of frustrating.
Tonight I tried firing up my old packet analyzer. (haven’t used that in a while)
What I’m seeing is a very large number of bad TCP checksums.
Anyone have any insight into what might be going on from that tidbit of info?

Think “Lord of the Rings” prequel. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Fast becoming a member of the ”older” generation, I have to watch my blood pressure. The last week or so I’ve been struggling with it a bit. It’s been up about 20 to 25 numbers. No changes in medication, so I have to look at other factors. I feel that I’ve been slipping a bit on my salt intake, so that’s an easy (but unpalatable) fix.
The other night I opened a bottle of Merlow, after one glass, my pressure had dropped 10 points, after half a bottle, it had risen 5 points past the original pressure. Conclusion: Don’t drink to much alcohol.
The other suspected issue was the Wii. I’ve been using the Wii Fit system a little over a month, and my pressure as been up, just slightly less time than that, so, I’ve been doing a few tests with it also. I’ve learned that a good hard workout using the exercise bike and the Wii Fit, does an excellent job of lowering my blood pressure. (after I cool down) Unfortunatley, an hour or so of playing “Call of Duty”, runs it up 10 to 25 points. Interesting, and just about as unpalatable as throwing away the salt!
The price for this “grey beard” get’s a little higher everyday.
