Heck, I don’t remember the last time we actually got
Columbus Day off. Probably when we worked for the military.
A long time ago.
But I remember when it used to be a school holiday. I don’t
think it’s that anymore, either (at least not here). Think we have too many
holidays? Or not enough?
I have a gripe today. A gripe with my iPhone. Or more
precisely, my Yahoo calendar on my iPhone.
For some strange reason it still thinks I’m in Central time
(I’m not. I’m in Eastern). All my “appointments” (which are actually game
times) are listed an hour earlier than they’re supposed to be. I’ve tried re-booting
my phone. I’ve tried deleting the calendar, rebooting the phone, then adding
the calendar back. I’ve tried forcing the time zone on and off. Nothing is
working.
The Yahoo calendar on my laptop is correct, though. It shows
I’m in the Eastern zone. So why is my iPhone not syncing up correctly? It has
the correct time zone!!!
It’s so baffling and frustrating.
The only good thing is I get an hour’s notice when a game is
about to start.
I have the new IOS 10, but I believe this problem existed
before I upgraded. In fact, I believe it started when we drove back from Denver
I’ve tried searching the internet for help, but everything
is from years ago. Nothing recent. Can I be the only one having this problem?
That would be my kind of luck.
I also have another gripe. This one with Yahoo (I’m
beginning to notice a theme here) and IE11. For some reason myYahoo thinks I’m
on an older version of IE. myYahoo works fine on Edge and Chrome (except I don’t like
either), so I don’t know what’s going on. Very frustrating. My screen is all
screwed up (can’t get my theme to work correctly). Grrr…
I’d use Edge all the time (especially now that the picture doesn’t
shake—yes, it did that before), but I can’t figure out how to show what
websites I’ve visited recently. There’s no little down arrow over to the right
of the URL (or anywhere I can see). I use that down arrow all the time on IE.
Why Edge got rid of it, I’ll never know.
Unless I’m just blind and it’s there. If that’s the case,
can you enlighten me?
Football Update:
- High
School:
- College:
- NFL: Steelers won! Rams… didn’t win. Okay, guess I can’t win them all. L
Good news! 3 days till PENGUINS HOCKEY! Yay! It’s getting to be a
busy sports season (by the way, I’m rooting for the Dodgers in the World Series
hunt).
So… Do computer programs/apps/what-have-you make you crazy?
I probably wouldn’t have such issues with them if they didn’t update so darn
often! Ugh.
Happy Monday!

Steelers decisively won.
I'd take your phone to the Apple store, or at least back to your service provider. While not the biggest issue in the world, it would annoy me.
Alex - Never thought about going to the Apple store. Probably because the closest one is over 10 miles away. But... it may be worth a shot. That, or trying the AT&T store, first (since they're my provider). They're a LOT closer. :)
I have today off, though I'm am going in to the office for an hour or so (was out sick Friday). I use Firefox as my browser, which I mostly like. The time zone thing is very strange.
Jeff - Yahoo keeps "telling" me I should download Firefox. I don't need another program taking up space on my laptop. Argh!
Definitely take it to your provider or Apple. They see this stuff all the time and it usually takes them seconds to fix it.
The software update I'm not happy with is Microsoft's Windows 10 Anniversary update. My laptop got it last month, and while it reset some of my settings (annoying!) it otherwise didn't hurt anything. But when my desktop got it, Quickbooks no longer worked! Luckily, they provide a way to revert back to the prior version.
Good luck with the phone/Yahoo!
Maria - I hope so. And now I wish I'd remembered to go there while I was out earlier. D'oh!!
Jennette - Anniversary update? Aack! I use the online QuickBooks for COFW. Hopefully I won't have any issues with that whenever my laptop decides to update. Ugh!!!
