It’s been a bit of time since I got my new PC, and for the most part it’s been behaving pretty well. I’m still running the cleaners on a sort-of-weekly basis and keeping it healthy. I’m still having the occasional weird issue but I think that’s more on the wonky internet in Spare Oom. That’s most likely due to running too many internetty things at the same time and causing a bottleneck, which ends up causing a disconnect. I’ve always had that issue back here, mainly because we use a Powerline adapter back there. [Short version, it’s using the power outlets instead of an ethernet cable, which we don’t have set up back there.] It would be nice to get properly wired up back there, but it would require either some ridiculous wiring straight from the router (which we had back in Jersey) or rewiring with the landlady involved, and I don’t think I really need to go that far.
I suppose this would be a problem if I was, say, a gamer or a coder or doing something tech related, which I’m not. I’m just someone that’s streaming KEXP online while looking at email while downloading new music releases and saving things to Dropbox. It’s not a big problem at all when I’m working straight to Word, but it can be a problem when I’m working at the 750Words site, or writing a blog here. An internet drop-out can cause drafts not to be properly saved.
It’s not a consistent problem, just one when I’m multitasking too much. It’s merely an occasional setback I can work around. And perhaps I don’t really need to have five different internetty things running at the same time just then…?
