Last night kind of stuck my last nerve with Rogers Internet, had nothing but connection issues with my internet and trying to get podcasts out it doesn't make things easy for me whatsoever but hey I am trying the best I can to get the content so that is one of the reasons why sometimes the internet fails me and it isn't my fault when Rogers wants to be stubborn with me to keep the connection flowing. Just another disadvantage sometimes as a podcast but hey expect the unexpected like the Big Brother Canada & Big Brother motto goes. I had connection issues with the web builder on 000webhost as you know my website is currently down still at the moment but working to get it back up soon!
So what was the problem with my connection? Well sometimes it tells me I am not connected to the internet when. I look at the front of the WiFi to see if the two blue lights are on and they are! So I am not sure what exactly is going on with the the connection. I tried resetting the router that didn't work, I attached the hard wire that goes from the PC here in the studio to the router and long behold it worked! Go Figure one thing actually works, I yet to try and disconnect it from the PC or Router to try the WiFi card and to see if that possibly failed but this computer I got about 3 or 4 years ago due to my old one and the blue screen of death on the custom built and don't get me wrong, I liked having a custom built computer but this Acer computer has really done the job really well and has been running non stop for the past 8 weeks now with the screens off at night but it is always on standby for things. So anyways back to what I was saying, I doubt it was the WiFi card, as I stated above my computer is not even 5 years old yet or it around that, I think it was in 2014 when I got it so next year would of been the 5th year since I got it. Please do note that I haven't had the best relationship with Rogers over the past years, it's a love/hate relationship with the internet from time to time... LOL. We got a new WiFi router so that is definitely not the problem there
What is the plan if Rogers Internet continues the way it is? Well for once I will be personally calling them up and complaining to them with the internet issue and ask if it is possible to have my IP address reset and see if that makes any difference? Maybe I am getting attacked? My internet works half the times? Haters will hate obviously but come on I gotta get the content out someway, somehow and having internet working half the time ain't going to help me whatsoever. So Rogers Internet YOU HAD ONE JOB!

Do I Believe In Ghosts?
Do I believe in Ghosts? At first I didn't but with the recent events in this household, well I think at this point, I think I do believe in Ghosts and think what could be causing these odd occurrences here in the studio or the house in general and I will be talking about that as I move on in this blog post today.
The first occurrence that I have is something hitting the side desk here in the studio and I am the only one in the studio and mind you this was overnight and was one of the sleepless nights I have had and I was still up and moving around in the studio or sitting in the chair in my studio on my PC here. The next occurrence is I was in the kitchen and I heard a explosion of glass in the cupboard and yes the door flung open a tad but it ended up closing once again. Yes we were thinking about it could of had a weakness in the glass but I am thinking a ghost was involved.
What am I thinking what spirit did this? Well I have my theories it could of been either been my friend Sue or my Late Aunt Margaret who has passed away. It is like they are trying to tell me something or pulling a practical joke on my parents and I. Sometimes it feels like someone is putting hand on my shoulder from time to time but once again there is nobody around me so I am pretty much sure it could be a ghost but I have to realize this house is 40 something years old it will have it's creaks and groans these days. However I still think it is a ghost or some kind of paranormal activity and I wanna stand by my theory it is a ghost because honestly, 2 different things happen on 2 different days, I still think it was a spirit in this house, it is like a sign being given to me but you never know.

Skype or Discord? Which One Is Better? (A Bit of a Skype Rant)
I hate to even make this blog post as last night was the last straw with Skype and I am entirely sick of the platform all together. There are a bunch of reasons why I have decided to walk away from Skype all together and here is why:
1) The lag has become very unbearable on my PC especially and my PC was fine when I first got it back from being reformatted. Skype has been a pain in the rear since the day Microsoft have taken over.
2) Skype dropping calls, between both Larry and I. Him and I Skyped every few weeks, sometimes more often then usual but it is annoying in mid call with him and the darn thing drops in the midst of a conversation with him.
3) The next thing is the quality of the call both Video and Audio, the video he looks distorted or the walls turn into a red color minus him which is a bit odd for me but it seems to be a bit of a pain to put up with. Also the audio quality, well sometimes sounds like a freaking robot on the end but it could be Larry's end but other calls seem fine to me.
Now Discord, it doesn't lag for me, the quality is good and it is more of a slicker type of program to use, it doesn't have bad quality, the quality of audio and video is good and you can hear loud and clear and no robot unless you end up with a bad internet connection... Which is well know if you're a Rogers Internet user like I am... Then that would be the cause. So which one would I chose between the two unless I find another good program? Discord, I like the style, the look of it, the lag is 0 so that is one of the reasons. What I also like about it now they got video chat on there then they did before when I first joined in 2016. I rather use Discord over Skype any day and I have been meaning to leave the platform over the last couple of years since they changed over the ownership of the App.

Website Announcement!
I know you guys been waiting and waiting for this announcement but here it is! For those who didn't see my Facebook Group, Twitter & Instagram, well ChrisBOnTheWeb.com is COMING Back! That's right after trying to find another web builder to put the website on with the domain I already had since 000webhost failed me for the very last time after having problems and issues with them for the past 3 years now, I decided it was time to move on from 000webhost. So many days went by as you know the original plan was to stick to this page, the blogger page that is but I dug hard and deep and finally found a provider that works this time around. Least now with this new provider, this site will not be sleeping for 1 hour a day, which means the website is now running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! No strings attached!
Also what is great about switch of providers is having my own email within ChrisBOnTheWeb.com which is chris@chrisbontheweb.com if you would like to reach out to me which is awesome no more using 3rd parties for the emails anymore, well minus my own personal email but I mean professionally, I have the .com email and I prefer this as a professional email system. I have already notified people who have contacted me in the past that this is my new email and any further emails can be sent through that one. I rather have a more professional email then what I had, the yahoo email for the longest time since 000webhost got rid of the email system they had.
Finally on today's post, I think my limitations are as limited to what I had before but this is a new start for me and I am proud to be where I am and knowing I do not have to pay for both the domain and the web builder by using the free builder site and only paying for the domain, so the provider I am with for my domain, I am more then likely going to be using them, renewing ChrisBOnTheWeb.com domain for another 3 amazing years with them. How long will the site will take to build it? Could take 2 weeks, it could take 3 weeks, depending how long it takes for me to rebuild it. I rather take my time with building it then rushing with the entire website and it is a half functional website.
Have a great day!

2018 NHL Playoffs Thoughts For The Past Week!
So I made the discussion on social media and you guys want me to talk briefly about things going in the NHL. I will try to not ramble on and on with paragraphs but tons to talk about in the NHL Round 1.
First of all The Toronto Maple Leafs, honestly, I thought they would of done better then this. They had the upper hand during the regular season and beat Boston a lot more then they have been, being blown out 7 - 3 the last game in Game 2. I will talk more about it on Saturday when I do another sports related blog post. Tampa Bay I am not surprised with them winning as they are the top team in the East at the end of the 2017 - 2018 Season. Minnesota with their crazy score Sunday night puts them 1 game from tying the series at 2 and they sure a wild card team on my list as I know they can win if they put their minds to it. I was expecting Winnipeg to have more of a lead then this but you never know what happens in the playoffs. Sometimes the odd ball team can surprise you in the playoffs!
Now Nashville, Las Vegas I am not surprised they are winning their games, Nashville 2 - 0 lead over the Avalanche, Las Vegas 3 - 0 over the Kings which will be over tonight if they win the next game tonight. As for the Leafs they need to start winning games if they want to stay in the playoffs, I do not expect them to go past Tampa Bay Lighting, that will be a challenge and a half to win but they have been close to winning against Tampa Bay, but my thought is they aren't ready to start winning the Stanley Cup. Sharks are 2 - 0 lead over the Quackers (Ducks), the game I think will be over by 4 games as they keep on winning, they will win 4 games to 0. Like I said above, Minnesota could surprise the heck out of all of us and start winning. Same goes with the Flyers who have won a game against the Penguins (Sorry Jeff Lieberman) but anything is possible but I do see the front runners in the series going on, Las Vegas, Tampa, Boston (that is if Toronto don't START winning!), Sharks. But anything is possible and I can see a possible upset but I will leave it to you to guess which team it is!

Sticking To My Gut Feelings On Things!
I am inner twining all this website problems, into this post today. What do I mean? Well I know 000webhost Moderators on their forums are trying to keep me as long as they can but sometimes you gotta go with you gut feelings and that is exactly what I did with this entire 000webhost situation this week is figuring this has been nothing but a headache with problems with 000webhost and my internet, it is time to move away to another website platform and move to the permanent website by early 2019, so hence I am now on this blogger page till end of the year and the Audio ONLY Platforms for the podcast until I am able to move the website over to the new provider and get the ball rolling again.
I know I have been questioned by my fan base and couple of the moderators of the Facebook Page but that's OK, they are wondering what is going on with the website and I made it clear on the video I posted up yesterday or the day before that I have taken the website offline till 2019 and this blogger page will continue to run as the main page for the time being and trust me ChrisBOnTheWeb.com isn't dead yet! It is making it's triumphed return in 2019. This website will be bigger and better then before. Like the lyrics of Power Rangers Zeo: "Stronger The Before...." Am I excited? Of course! I told you this year was the year for Chris B On The Web and so far it has been! from a potential interview to the birth of The CBOTW Show and the start of recapping Music City CMT this year has been fenomial so far and I'm far from being done with this year all together.
What about Autism Celebration 2018? What will you advertise I will be talking about that on tomorrow's blog post the future of ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and what is to be happening to the website and the rough timeline. But nothing will change my mind on this decision, it is a business decision to temporarily step away from this website and I gotta think what is best for me at this point of time and walking away from running the website for now is what I need to do in order to figure out the next move that is coming and like I have said many times this year, I am moving the website to it's new and permanent provider within a month and hopefully it will be ready by Christmas or January 1st, 2019 which is my actual aim date but again I will talk about that on tomorrow's blog post. But yes I am sticking to my gut to what I think i right and I have absolutely no regrets on my decision. Either way you guys are getting the CONTENT, YOU GUYS want to see!

Everything About Reality TV/The CBOTW Show Podcast Revised Schedule (Week of Apr 8th, 2018)
This week there are changes being made to the podcasts, due to my absence from the studio tomorrow as I am heading into Toronto for the day with Dave Gowans and I will be unavailable to do the recap for Survivor Ghost Island as I will be returning late back to the studio. So which means I have to shift this weeks schedule a tad to accommodate my absence. So without further ado here is my schedule for this week:
Today (Wednesday): Everything About Reality TV- Big Brother Canada 6- Week # 5 RECAP Podcast
Friday: 6 pm EST: The CBOTW Show- Music City CMT EP # 8 RECAP Podcast
8 pm EST: Everything About Reality TV- Survivor Ghost Island EP # 7 RECAP Podcast
There is my timetable for this week and I will be keeping up with the schedule! I am planned on watching Big Brother Canada 6 from last week, recording last week recap, post it up then watch Music City and record it before bed, then that part of it is done and all I gotta do is watch Survivor tomorrow morning or Friday, record it Friday morning and Friday's content is done and ready to go! Boom! 2 down 1 to go for Saturday! Once Saturday is done, I'm clear of being behind schedule. That is my golden plan to get caught up this week and the temporary change as I said at the start of this post, I am out of town in Toronto with Dave Gowans for the day. Next week will be back to normal scheduled programming, well without The CBOTW Show as it goes on Hiatus since Music City Wraps Up This week!
