Yesterday I lost 5 precious work hours. The first 3 struggling to find a cause why I suddenly couldn’t access Google, rebooting my system a few times, recycling the modem – nothing. Was Google down? (more…)

Comments Off on Frances Whiting: A Bonza Sheila! | |
As you know, only discerning people view The Bonza Blog and, as such, we’re sure you enjoyed Frances Whiting’s recent column.
With the kind permission of The Sunday Mail, we refresh your memory of yet another pearl from Frances:

As you can see, Frances retains all her powers.
The immediate response from Bonza was an email Subject: An alternative sponsor to Tiffany’s.
“As if Tiffany’s would miss the chance of having Frances Whiting running in a Jean Schlumberger Egg charm! Get back to work.” Came the response from Ros.
That woman is so negative.
“Thanks so much Anthony, that’s great news. Very happy!” Came the response from Frances!
“If you’re in the marketing caper, and are in between gigs, it may not be a bad idea to fire off the old resume to Tiffany’s around about now.”
It gets better.
“Also Lycra Woman is happy to run in one of your shirts too.” Frances emailed on.
Thanks to photographer Jamie Hanson and The Sunday Mail, here are

“I could knit a scarf in the time it takes my computer to fire up!”
Even if your computer has the best RAM and the fastest processor, chances are the system will still run slower than normal if you don’t maintain it.
We’ve already discussed the causes of sluggish computer performance and why maintenance is important. e.g. Computer viruses, Windows Registry problems, full hard drives, Windows OS problems, disk clean up and disk defrag, not enough memory, limiting your startup applications, clearing temporary files… etc. etc. See Tune up your computer or Regular Maintenance posts.
WHAT IF YOUR SETUP IS JUST NOT SUITABLE or YOU’VE OUTGROWN IT?
