Stella's Place 
Big thing on the city news tonite, City Council is aggressively seeking out streets in NOLA named after miscreants who fought on the Confederate’s side during the Civil War. Never mind that most of those most likely potentially offended by four of the five street names sure as hell wouldn’t recognize them, the woken pols are pointing it out to their heavily disinterested constituents. Robert E. Lee is perhaps the only one they’d recognize. Part that gets me is the pols are largely doing it to impress the voters BUT in the local runoff election set for next week only about 15,000 people voted, that’s just 15% of those who voted early for the November election. Guess the dead left town for he Thanksgiving holiday.
Anyway, I wrote our city councilwoman and asked if there were any plans afoot to rename the street our house is on. Seems that it’s the name of a town in England BUT there were, at a cursory records check, some 128 persons with that same surname who fought for the Confederacy. I wondered if, were anyone offended at some point in the future by the street’s name, how much time would we get to notify our correspondents of the change.
We’re split between an equally snarky reply and her just canning my email.

I have also been able to get in directly, using my old bookmark for the Treehouse – didn’t have to change a thing. Didn’t even have to clear caches and cookies.
I know we’re supposed to clear them periodically for general housecleaning. I never do because I do not understand what is going to disappear – since there are warnings posted about access to your favorites being lost once you clear them. It irritates me beyond expression (in my ignorance) that the majority of things that computer instructions tell me to do are not understandable….the very first thing in the list of “here’s what to do” is often something I do not understand how to do.
I fully understand why I’ve observed friends and family age into “giving up using their computer” (even email) as they aged and just didn’t feel like fighting the fight any more.

“Cache” is a storage area.
In computerese, it’s a storage area used to boost performance. It takes significant time to access data, whether on a hard drive or out on the ‘net, so if a particular piece of data is referenced often, a copy is kept where it can be accessed quickly.
The problem with caching is knowing when to get a fresh copy because the original data changed, making your cached copy invalid.
There’s a “no-cache” tag in HTML that prohibits a browser from caching that page, used on pages that change often.
A browser doesn’t know ahead of time what data will be needed again, so how does it know what to keep? All of it. So your cache gets huge. Smarter browsers may delete stuff that hasn’t been referenced in a while.
But all browsers have a “clear cache” command somewhere, so you can toss it all and start over.
LikeLike
