I couldn’t get email most of the day
I still have no idea why
About mid-morning, I discovered email was no longer available for me. I tried various websites, different browsers, several cellphone apps, and none of them worked.
Bizarre. Unprecedented.
When I used the browser, I could tell I was getting new emails, but I couldn’t click on them to read because the program would stall out.
“Loading…”
I’d get the random error code that was a Google-buster here and there as well. Not helpful.
Several hours of futile Google searches later and deleting a bunch of stuff, restarting the computer and the cellphone several times as well, it was the same. I’ve never had email programs act this way.
I have no idea what I did or didn’t do to make this happen. No troubleshooting website could even diagnose my problem, let alone solve it.
This also caused a major problem in my workday as one can imagine.
But, I kept clicking away and reset something and mirable dictu email is back.
Don’t ask me how I did it. Couldn’t tell you.
Over the weekend we cut our first episode of the new podcast…currently available on Odysee in a video version (first of its kind)…audio version coming soon.
We should have a few more podcasts lined up for you over the course of the next week as things start kicking into gear a little bit.
If you’re not familiar with Odysee, see for yourself. It runs on the “blockchain.” If you don’t know what that is exactly, we hope to have a guest or two on the podcast soon to tell you all about it…more clearly than I can at this point.
Essentially Odysee is a YouTube alternative that doesn’t randomly ban you.
I still like YouTube for the most part, but when I uploaded this video podcast over there, it took about 2 hours to complete…all for a 17 minute video…then YouTube rejected the video for being too long! Fifteen minute maximum they said.
If you didn’t see the promo for the Sausage Slammers I put up on Twitter and Instagram, the same video is right here:
I promised Monday for The Cooking of… and The Eating of… but I had to make other plans because of that whole email fiasco earlier in the day.
Hopefully tomorrow.
