Nibble, Nibble, Like a Mouse.....

Since coming back from New York I've been having trouble with my computer connection.

It has been very frustrating for me as I am behind in reading my favorite blogs.

Ok, call it blog withdrawl......but now that I'm back in the Daisy Patch I'm interested in finding out what's been going on in the blogsphere while I've been away.

I sit down at the computer in my favorite chair, looking over the back yard bird feeder and a disturbing warning comes up......Server Can Not be found.

What? What do you mean it can't be found?....it was just there a moment ago! ( I scream at the computer screen!) Still, despite my protest it won't yield to my wishes.

Ok, I reason......it's mad at me cause I've been gone. So I turn it off, wait a few seconds and restart it! Still it can't find the server. This calls for serious technical service.....I call Mr. Wonderful to the rescue.

After a few moments of wiggling wires , and blaming the cats, he declares it fixed.

I post my Wordless Wednesday. (It's a good thing I didn't have to post a lot of explaination as the server mysteriously went out again.)

This scenerio is repeated several times on Wednesday and finally died this afternoon.

This evening Mr. Wonderful goes to change the wire leading from the server and finds that the reason we have had intermitten service is that a mouse has been nibbling at the cable. The least little bump from me or the animals would cause a loss of signal.

The cable has been changed and we are up and running again. The cats and I have had a serious talk about their responsibilities. The computer is running and all is right in the Daisy Patch once again. The cats are currently on patrol in the basement.
