Packet loss is the issue ...

it seems that i am having "packet loss" issues with my internet .. that is why i can't upload any pictures .. even tiny 7 jpeg pictures .. so until the cable guys can come and fix my issue .. or until i go to work .. this is all you get .. just words .. no pictures .. which honestly what's the point of reading if there is nothing to look at .. not to worry .. i go to work tomorrow .. in the ice and snow storm that is making its way here .. what is "packet loss" you ask .. well ed with tech support said that somewhere along the way all my info is being dumped off the cable .. it could be at the pole out by the road where the cable is connected .. easy fix .. it could be the cable buried under jeff's yard .. not an easy fix .. it could be where the cable comes into the house .. easy fix or the cable behind the walls .. not so easy fix ... so keep your fingers crossed that .. 1) it doesn't snow and ice .. 2) my internet issue is an easy and quick fix .. 3) the boat show goes well .. there you go .. you all have all kinds of wishing to do .. so get busy .. might cross your fingers why you are at it .. because we have been moving into the boat show this week and i have some fun pictures to share .. so you might want to double cross your fingers .. !!

Ah, packet loss. Usually jpegs and other such files can tolerate a lot of packet loss. Because the server keeps resending until they make it through and then reassembles into a picture. Video, however, is very unforgiving of packet loss. Who wants to get video from 12 seconds ago of the right ear after the left ear and head have arrived 12 seconds earlier...
The cable guy can turn up the tolerance for packet loss. Emily
