Even though I am sure she has never visited my site, I thought it was only the right thing to do by starting this post off by wishing my Mom a Happy Birthday!
I just got home after having dinner with her, my Dad and Jason at Fuddrucker’s. (Not sure why, but Jason got to pick where we went!) Then we went back to their house for cake & ice cream. I’m still full from dinner, so none for me! Afterwards we visited for awhile. After I arrived home I remembered I needed to reset the DNS entries on the computer – and sure enough that did the trick and I am back online! Yeah, BABY! Whoo hoo! Now maybe I can catch up on all the reading I missed this week!
FYI … in case anyone wonders why I could get on IM but not the Internet – IM is served up via IP addresses. Not DNS. So when my DNS settings were off (pointing at the company’s old DNS server info), I couldn’t “see” anything that required a DNS entry. Had I tried to hit this site by IP address instead, I would have seen it. That is the end of today’s lesson…
