WannaBe: Another not important thing that I noticed, as a premium member when I visit ChessGames.com Statistics Page page, I see ads. Not that a big deal. Sure CG.com have more important things to fix.

I hate you, <whiteshark>!!!!! I am going to miss so much sleep now!

Mar-30-17  playground player: <WannaBe> I've been racking my brain for a week over a new computer problem. Once again, I turn to your wisdom.

Somehow my blog got accidentally disconnected from Facebook, resulting in a cessation of referrals from FB. I reconnected, and in two more days, referrals were back to normal. But then they stopped again, and this time I wasn't disconnected. There seems to be no reason for it.

Thureday is usually my best blog day of the week because then I get a lot of referrals from newswithviews.com: that's the day they publish my column. Today, zero. Never happened before--and again, there seems to be nothing wrong with the process of moving from the NWV page to my blog: but it isn't happening.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Is there anything I can do about it? Bearing in mind that I'm pretty close to being a complete idiot when it comes to computer stuff...

Thanks, in advance :)

  WannaBe: Saw the documentary "Betting on Zero". The story of Bill Ackman v Herbalife. Pretty interesting, having followed this 'Drama' for the last few years, there was really nothing in it that I didn't already know.

Still worth watching, if you don't know it.

  WannaBe: Saw 'The Founder' last night, with Michael Keaton playing Ray Kroc. Also had Laura Dern playing Mrs. Kroc. Heck of a movie/documentary. Definitely (highly) recommend it.

The big bald guy from Fargo (played husband to Francis McD, who was a painter and got on the one cent stamp) played one of the McDonald brother.

Vacation over, back to work.

  WannaBe: Forgot to mention, the ceremonial 'first pitch' for that Ucla@Stanford game was none other than Dr. C. Rice

But I think she cheated, she threw three times; two of them I caught on camera. =))
