DumbAss Computer Operator
« on: July 05, 2011, 09:41:40 PM »
The DumbAss Computer Operator is me.  I was trying to clean out my cookies and temporary files, but I messed something up.  Whenever I type in the search engine it gives me,

GOOGLE 404. That's an error
The requested URL/hws/search?
hl=en&client=dell&channel=us-psp&ibd&q=(the searched for term) was not found in this server.  That's all we know.

I get this message for sites I accessed as recently as today.  The only way I can get to a website is if I go through favorites. 

Will someone tell me how to undo my stupidity.  If necessary I'll even give my phone number so you can walk me through it, that's how desperate I am.

Are you searching from the Google website? If not, might be worth making your homepage. http://www.google.com/

Thanks Jack.  When I went to bed I warned Prince Albert of what he could expect when he got on the computer Wednesday.  He said he'd had that problem some time back and it went away.  So, since I couldn't sleep I got back on the computer and guess what?  The problem went away.  I am now convinced this computer is female and had a bad case of PMS.  ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.

This shouldn't happen as a result of deleting cookies or cache. It sounds more like a DNS problem--that is, something can't translate the web address to an IP number.

Everything seems to be copacetic now.  However, I'm now using my account rather than his because, well, just because.

It must happen now and then.  At least while they are uploading the evil subroutines.

But, but... they have backups and backups for the backups and... They have redefined redundancy. They are not down. Ever.
