Yet another DNS attack.
I wish I knew someone who could fix this, but everyone wants a year long
maintenance contract.$1200 or more for a year.
I can’t afford that.
Damn.
Sounds like you are being hit by a different version of ransom ware,
cause I can’t think of a single reason why anyone would waste their
time except to get you to sign a contract.
I wish I had a suggestion for you,
but you are much better at computers than I,
and you would probably roll your eyes if I did. LOL
On the IBM 360 I had much more fun in Assembler. Instead of TestMask against
a single bit, the COBOL folk would use 3 BYTES for a binary flag, spelling out “YES”
or “NO “! Not only wasting memory, but string operations took sooo many more clock cycles :{
Many years ago, a good friend of mine was involved in a project for the UK MOD, cleaning up and adding features to the HR and payroll system and database.
It was written in COBOL, but they couldn’t re-write it into something more modern, because it was accessed by various departments, who all had custom modules in whatever systems they were using to interface with it, and no-one had the budget (or the political will) to tear it all down and start again.
The teams were focused on things like making option lists easier to maintain (the originals were hard-coded in strings, or it might have been arrays), and things like tax changes easier to implement. Somewhere early in the project, one of the teams came up with a Visual Development Environment, which made the whole thing much easier and more manageable – yes, Visual COBOL, in the late 80’s, before Visual Studio, but after Visual Basic from Microsoft!
So, the old phone does not keep a charge very well?
It might die before Etienne can get you into too much more trouble.
If it uses a proprietary charger, you may get even luckier
and she will not have one in her office junk drawer. :}
Mr Stanley, would you try and figure out why a comment I wrote
failed to publish? I’m guessing I either used a forbidden word or
it was too many characters.
What a choice...

I build computers, I don’t know shit about websites.
I haven’t written programs since Fortran.
You would have hated cobal (or however it was spelled)
COBOL was condemned by its very name :}
