Keep Your Memory Stable, My Readers! So, Christian! You might say, This is an Interesting Greeting for You.
Well, Like Every Greeting I do, It always has meaning to It.
Now, Yes, I realize This Newsletter is going to sound like
A Good Old Fashioned Episode of
“Christian’s Computer Complaints” and That It could be
But, Can have a Meaning behind it. So, I’ll get to The “Christian’s Computer Complaints” Part and then, The Meaning.
So, As of The Past Couple Years, I have found an Interesting Activity to do on Google Maps’ Street View! I have Found that I have picked a Trend in Which I travel Through a County in My Home State of Texas and See The Two Biggest Things in Each County, What is That, You ask? Well, I feel the
The Two Biggest Identifiers of Each County are
One, Their County Road Signs and
Their Court Houses.
I call it “Clinching Counties”, That is basically
Fancy! Road Nerd Term to mean that You have driven from One End of a Highway to The Other,
like “Clinching” Interstate 37 would be Driving from Downtown San Antonio to Downtown Corpus Christi.
So “Clinching” a County means that You have seen The County Road Signs, Court Houses, and Towns and/or Cities in Said County. I will say that It is quite Interesting, Some Court Houses are Small; Some are Huge! Some County Roads have a “County Logo” on Their County Road Street Signs. I Love Those! And Others have Just a Sign that says “CR 123” (Or County Road 123). Anyway, Getting a Little Carried Away over Here! So, I was in The Middle of Cyber-Tripping across West Texas even Suddenly, Google Maps Street View went Black and So did The Texas Map, I was looking at. After going farther along, Again It happened! And, It means like Every 20 Minutes or so, It would Refresh.
Then, Of Course, I had to Stop Cybertraveling for a Bit to Look it Up. I got Various Answers, Everything from It’s a Chrome Extension! It’s Malware!
It’s Hardware Excelleration! I tried to get More Specific with My Search, because If I had Malware, I would Imagine Annoying Ads popping up All The Time!;
Extensions (I mean, I am Believing not!) I have an Microsoft Office one that is Not Supported Anymore (You can Copy and Paste and Work from The Right-Click Menu with Office Online It says!). As for Hardware Excel, I have a Hard Time finding The Setting; Basically, The Summery At least, What I found is that Some Bug in Google Maps (and, Nothing Else) causes Memory Leaks. Then, I thought Myself a Lesson about Computers Memory (plus The Meaning of It All).
First of All, When Buying a Computer, Check The Memory amount. Is It 4 Gigabits of Memory like My Chromebook?
5 Gigabits? Etc. And Second of All, Check Your Computers Memory from Time to Time, because You might have Low Memory to Begin with. Okay, so Basically if You have a Low Memory on Your Computer, Things like Apps (Clearing Throat: Programs) will end up Crashing, Web Pages will Crash and so on.
So, I wonder both about The Google Maps Street View Issue, It Paranoids Me to be Honest but, I am Hopeful to
The Gods of Google Chrome to fix It and I can go back to Traveling without Taking Much Actions (like Extensions, Restarting, and What Not. Oh Stubborn Christian, I tell Ya!) and Then I wonder, What about People’s Memory?
Well, Basically, (In Deep Voice) In A World where
Computer-Nerd Speak and Medical Speak Mix (Not Possible Christian, but Go on!), The Brain of The Body is like A Computer RAM, Computer Speak Translation: The Memory.
Well, On Computers, Apps (Programs) like Google Chrome Browser take up ALOT of Memory and Even Alot of Open Tabs (Web Pages, Basically) take Memory
Right Now, The Tab I have Open to Write This Newsletter is taking 557 Megabites of Memory! I Just Checked!
So, I mentioned about What Happens when Computers Crash Out in Memory but, What about People?
Well, When a Computer crashes out, One of Two Things happen, The Screen Refreshes and You have to Click on The Tab to Get It Working or What Computer Nerds refer to as “The Blue Screen of Death” Shows up.
When a Person crashes out (As Young People say), They basically go into An “I’ve Had Enough!” and then, Stop for A Minute, Breath, and then Pick up Again. I guess You could say that It is Equivalent to All The Tabs Refreshing at Once!
And, Then Of Course, On The More Severe End of The Scale, Bodily Functions miss activate and
The Person goes into A Blank Face Mode, This is Sort of The Computer-Nerd's Version of “The Blue Screen of Death” and It takes a Little Longer for Them to “Come back Online” so to speak. Interesting to Think of It that Way, Huh?
Unlike Computers though, A Person’s “Memory” is not as Easy to just Delete some Apps (Programs!); Delete Some Extensions; and Then, Restart The Computer!
The Sad Part of That, is that It is Hard to know what is Taking up a lot of Memory. Like A Tab, A Program, or An Actual Memory. Think of Tab as More of a Thought; A Program like How Things are Done and/or You go to X-Place at X-Time; and An Actual Memory is Self-Explanatory! Do Make Sure that Your Tabs (aka Your Thoughts) are Positive because Negative Thoughts, as I have Mentioned before
Take Up ALOT of Memory! All in all, It’s Always Good to do a Memory Check on Both Computer and Yourself! Deleting Some Tabs and, Yes, Even Some Extensions might help!
And, If All Else Fails, Restart Your Computer!
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Save Your Memory and Delete The Negative!
