Love (not) Google
I have always used the free access to groups via Google groups. I
don't know any other so if it is bad I don't realize it. It is a pain sometimes though. 1. It only remembers me for a week or two, then I have to re-log and redo all my settings. 2. Lately all links started jumping to some page that said "Redirecting blah blah" then the page would show up after a few seconds. Now all links go to an error page and every link is shown with www.google.com appended to the beginig of the link. I guess all valid links should start with Google. Do no harm. Uh-hu. P.S. hard to type today with index on right hand having a sanded tip from edge sander and index on left having brad point bit drilled into finger print... oops. |

What is your browser? Have you upgraded or made any changes recently? Is it set to purge cookies or history after a set period of time? Behavior(s) #1 sound like problems I've run into with Firefox. I cured it by whitelisting the cookies for google and some other sites. I just recently had a bunch of stuff break when I upgraded from 3.5.whatever to 3.6. I had to either re-install or download upgrades for the add-ons; a real pita. Problem #2 sounds familiar too. I think it may be a setting in your browser, but without knowing what it is, cannot confuse matters more... P.S. hard to type today with index on right hand having a sanded tip from edge sander and index on left having brad point bit drilled into finger print... oops. It's been a while since I hurt myself (and saying that just started a curse...). I can remember usung my belt sander on a small, thin piece of wood using a coarse belt. The belt grabbed the piece of wood and spit it across the shop. Before I could pull back, I had pressed my hand into the belt: it grabbed three of my fingers and spun the skin around the bone, sanding them on two sides. Hard to explain how you managed to sand *between* your fingers! |

Yes, the edge sander always reminds me it can be aggressive when I
haven't used it in a while and yes, in both cases I was working on some tiny parts and didn't have much of a good strategy for keeping safe. Another reminder to be ever vigilant in regards to safety. Both were predictable. On Jan 25, 2:31*pm, lektric dan wrote: On Jan 25, 1:36*pm, "SonomaProducts.com" wrote: I have always used the free access to groups via Google groups.

Too much clearance between disk and table. Lesson learned. WW |
