(A Bit Long), but in my defence; quite a lot has happened.

Local News: My Dell slate XPS12 has died with the USB Ports failing, but the rest works fine.

Now, I’ve had this thing for two years, and all without fault in all that time, but on the day that my guarantee died: (it technically died as well) .. Grrrrrr! Doesn’t even come close.

The highly competent on-board DELL diagnostics reports that it’s all working fine, but working in windows it ain’t.

It’s now got to the point, that I can’t even be bothered to try in on Linux: especially after all that networking foul up came to light in the Spring Update.

Been on the windows forums about the last windows update doing it, but I can’t figure out what’s going on here, and neither can the really helpful chaps back there either.

(Out of all of the forums), the windows folk really are the most helpful: with a ten out of ten rating, but with the bloody Virgin forums coming in at (minus a million). JERKS!

One thing wrong with Windows ™, is the bloody intractable wall of – we’re perfect, —  and — we don’t have issues, so ignore. In facing that impenetrable blocking tactic from perfection, then I have had to step backwards in time: when real perfection ruled the roost.

@ Home in the confines of my own space, and wearing nothing but my nightie: plus a nice sensible dressing-gown.

I’ve downgraded my OS to Win 7 (32 bit), on a store bought machine from eBay: that cost me a staggering (£75.00). The laptop is brilliant, but I ain’t never going back on eBay ever again.

(Nervous wreck in the end.)

My new computer is an old Toshiba laptop called a Terca M10.

Its got 3 Gig of ram and a 160 GB hard drive, {adequate}, and I can buy spare parts for it if an internal component breaks down. This user can even change the battery, something that’s apparently not possible in the new high end machines. The old style laptop comes complete with a sprung loaded keyboard, (and what a keyboard it is), and of course the right hand side of it has the ubiquitous [Home] [PgUp] [PgDn] and [End] keys in a row where they should be; complete with a clearly laid out cursor key cross area below them. It’s also (all) a serious writer ever really needs, and that goes double for the ancient machine’s components themselves.

Here’s an example on that bold statement: because without even denting the processor’s speed, the PC happily runs, ..
Slimjet Browser, ..
Fossmail email client, ..
Total Commander is used for browsing and file viewing, and of course not forgetting Word 2003. No link provided because you can’t get it anymore, but I’m told that Word 2007 is similar.
(To-MATE-oes — toe’mar’toes.)

All of it is works well with, ..
TextAloud : which is a full suite of Text-To-Speech software, that also happily runs Ivona’s most exceptional voice called AMY.

** I can 100% recommend TextAloud for buying voices, (good prices), plus it’s all combined with the superb supporting software framework; which is simple to use software, that actually makes producing and outputting speech on your PC: simplicity itself.

This (new-old) laptop of mine, even runs my preferred picture editor called, ..
PhotoFiltre 7, an old style software program that I use for designing my book covers: all without slowing it down I might add, and that was something that even kicked Win 10 in the balls now and again.
The (old) humble Toshiba that I’ve bought does all the (above) in real time, and all without the buggy newer version of Windows being anywhere in sight. Also, the boot times of this old machine ain’t that bad neither, ..

Anyhow: that’s what’s been happening inside for the last month.

Outside, however: working the street, and stark naked, but wearing funk all, this old biddy soon finds out that she’s putting herself on full display, it’s also fucking cold out here, and in this nude state: the attractive young naked model, Mega Grin! Is very slowly getting her fully clothed WordPress site up to speed, but it’s been hard work, (to say the bloomin’ least), and dressing this website is consuming yet more and more of my meager resources and valuable time.

Provided is an in-depth link and list of what’s coving the naked MJS WordPress site, it’s also a highly descriptive commented description of all the Plug-ins that I have installed on my hosting provider.

Update: 07/15/2021, my new website (this one), will soon be available for download as well.

If you took a time out to read it: as of December the 1st 2018, then that is the state of play with me and my all consuming website. Now, all I’ve got to do is set some time aside to continue writing out my books.

Talking of which: I’ve uploaded ( Volume One ) of the Unintentional Aquanaut series.

You are hereby warned: the prime subject of the diary narrative, unashamedly delves into male and female sexual drives, and also skirts pedophilia on the way, but only with the many young animal-like children who live in the deeps, .. so it doesn’t really matter if they aren’t human: does it.

But just take this heart felt warning, .. to your own heart felt heart: that animals both young and old have feelings as well.

Thanks for reading, Jessica: Praise be the ORI.
