Housekeeping

Literal

Neither bed bugs nor allergic reactions apparent after second (delayed) dousing last wk., but every time a sensation/itch/air current registers on my pasty thin honkie skin ...Not that the chinches are a result of bad housekeeping, smart-asses. Hell, one would be surprised at how much cleaning & so on can be accomplished when one does not waste a considerable amount (the fucking majority, actually) of one's existence at work, going to & from work, or sleeping, showering & other activities necessary to get one the fuck up most mornings to perform* this work.

Electrical

No bugs in either of these.

As a "power user" (Eyes bigger than mouth/head: Currently have 21 tabs open, & seriously, I must read them all.) shit is taking time to load. As our patience is short enough as isvirtually non-existent, excessive loading is not good for me or other living things w/in my blast radius.

iNternet suggestions included the obvious, clearing cookies & cache (Here's funny/peculiar: Seldom clear cookies because all the signing in again wastes that time I bitched about, but did this time, along w/ the cache which I dump regularly to little or no effect. This did not agree w/ Chrome, which went away. Fine, give it a rest, I'll re-start it in a couple mins., meanwhile clear the mind [heh heh] w/ solitaire. Which wouldn't start. I was advised Windows Exploder wasn't responding ...

but was checking for a solution. After an eternity & a half of that I closed it. A new window advised Exploder was re-starting. Attempts to re-start or shut down the devil-box manually were unsuccessful. Mins. passed. More mins. Yada. Still "re-starting." The solution, of course, was unplugging it; here it is good that the battery is dead & we don't have to wait an eternity for the damn thing to die.) & a less-obvious suggestion, removing AVG. Fine by us. Wave good-bye, AVG.

Big/actual question: Advisable to use Google Public (O.K., O.K., I don't care, I've nothing to hide or lose.) DNS, rather than the no doubt crummy DNS resolution TimeWarnerCable provides, assuming a less invasive anti-viral isn't the answer?

*Ha ha ha, "perform" indeed. Guess what, 'though? The joke's on you!
