lincslady Posted July 19 #60477 Share Posted July 19 Anyone on here computer-savvy? Not that I intend to in any case, but if I looked up my medical records on my GPs site, might I now get a 'blue death' or whatever it is called, because of this current appalling problem, and if so presumably would need someone to come to sort it out. My imagination boggles as to how bad this problem will prove to be in the end for millions of companies and people, maybe I am being too pessimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted July 19 #60478 Share Posted July 19 Lovely photos @Megabear2, glad you had a good time, despite the problems with the flights. Hopefully your flights get sorted soon. My granddaughter is due to fly down from Edinburgh tomorrow🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been on our doctors web site to see the next day I can order my meds . They are working fine,so maybe yours will too as everything is not down . I think your safe from the "Blue death" as this is a fault ,not a virus. Look at it this way if your neighbour went to the shop to buy a bottle of milk and on return home, the door lock had jammed ,does this mean if you were to do the same upon your return ,would you expect your front door to be jammed ? I think your safe .🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted July 19 #60480 Share Posted July 19 Thanks, kalos. I didn't need to look at it anyway ,but just felt worried for anyone who did and lost their internet as a result. I am fairly sure that my GP is on the most used one by hospitals and Doctors - they were all trying to be ultra-safe from hackers etc. of course! It needs to be a severe warning to the internet world, and millions of travellers will continue to have problems with flights for some days, I fear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshirephil Posted July 19 #60482 Share Posted July 19 Another warm day here, bit of proper summer. I was surprised to read about the Microsoft outage as we went into Barnsley for brekkie and pick up a few bits and bats for weekend, plus books back to library and everything was working fine. Makes you wonder how we ever managed. Have a good weekend everyone. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eglesbrech Posted July 19 #60485 Share Posted July 19 @Megabear2 I hope you get home soon. Some of my family are stuck abroad as well with long flight delays. It’s not fun or a nice end to your break. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted July 19 #60486 Share Posted July 19 Good afternoon. It is hot and sunny. I am sitting in our summer house charging my phone while posting. I hope everyone is having a lovely day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted July 19 #60487 Share Posted July 19 Our afternoon was watching a livestream of Fairford Int Airshow. Reminiscing of our years at the Sunderland airshows that are no more. Long weekends some were sunny just like today. We always had a good time no matter what the weather . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that accessing your doctors website would have given you any problems, other than possibly not being able to obtain the information you were seeking. It is the software your GPs practise uses to run its computer system that has been corrupted, which would not "infect" your pc. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted July 19 #60489 Share Posted July 19 We have had one nice hot sunny day. Today after a nice sunny start, has become very overcast, humid and misty out over the moor. So looks like we will get rain tomorrow. That seems to be the pattern to our weather, one or two nice days followed by rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airport hotels are now officially no go so caught the airport bus back to Waverley and now booked on 17:30 train to Kings Cross arriving 22.08. Then we plan on using underground or Elizabeth Line back to Heathrow for our car which is at Hilton Terminal 5 - a taxi from the airport hopefully followed by the 2 hour drive home. All of this assuming the London trains work, otherwise we head east to my sister in law in Hornchurch and back to Heathrow tomorrow. Thankfully I overbooked the parking by two days so not a problem there I hope! BA not really able to help as total confusion. Hopefully we will get compensation as we should have flown yesterday evening. They have confirmed to hold all receipts and submit claim. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the trains go according to plan and you get home. As you say they should pay for everything as you would not be in this situation if the flight had gone last night. BA have a bad habit of pulling Scottish flights on a regular basis if they need staff or planes for just about any other route. It happens frequently then they wonder why we get annoyed. Some of my lot are stuck abroad in Budapest and they are struggling to get a way home. I hope you enjoyed the visit at least before all this annoyance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Hill Posted July 19 #60495 Share Posted July 19 Phew it’s warm here 29C this afternoon at the time I was leading a tour around the site, sun hay, sunglasses and plenty of Factor 30 applied. Only 4 on the tour which was last one of the day, so it if was tour, much better than the one I lead yesterday with 22 on it, started out as 20, but 2 others joined halfway round. Explaining Roman Britain and what the Romans gave us is an interesting topic, and once we got to the archaeology dig, they were well versed on how the city was constructed and operated. Felt sorry for the archaeology students who were digging and scraping away in the trenches in this heat, yet on Tuesday they got rained on such is the life of an archaeologist. The site had some card machine issues early on due to outage but all was back running by midday. Had a text from my GP surgery saying advising they couldn’t make any appointments but patients with appointments would still be seen. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted July 20 #60497 Share Posted July 20 Good Morning, It's very quiet on here this morning, hope everyone is well. It's raining, misty, breezy and very muggy, with heavier rain is due in later. Not a nice day at all. My daughter's dog has just frigtened the sea gull that comes knocking on our door, so hopefully it will get the message! Hope you all have a good weekend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted July 20 #60498 Share Posted July 20 Morning 19.c and not too bad of a nights sleep as we used just a thin sheet on the bed. Catching up on the news, Microsoft say it was another companies Nerd who pressed the wrong button.the 3rd party firm has now made a new update code to fix it , this will not get rid of the backlog of problems it has caused . Good old Microsoft boffins claimed "maybe " re-booting the pc's up to 15 times just may do the trick 🤔 Now I'm no boffin but my boss at work used to call me the PC , not cos I was clever. It was that I also could fall asleep if left alone for 15 minutes . But for what it's worth here's my advice.. "If after re-booting your PC 15 times and it still will not work ,then try hitting it at least 15 times with a hammer " If it still does not work at least now you know the reason why 🙃 Have a good day Take care.🙂 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
