Drain and Sunshine

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

We’ve been having some issues over the past week, once again with the sleep disruption and just feeling more than a little drained and tetchy, it’s been a bad combination of things. The lack of computer with it’s prospects of “ruining us financially”, Max working through some rather sticky issues, and that certain time of [...]

Updates

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Just quick. I still have the computer, but it’s near constant screen scrolling is making it very difficult to do anything. I’m almost finished with the back up though so soon it will be being sent to the original manufacturer and we’ll see what happens from there.
It’s frustrating us on many levels. We hadn’t realized [...]

Computer update

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I’ve decided the best mothers day gift I could hope for would be a properly working computer. This one is at least not randomly scrolling and thanks to the people at the warranty place it will now turn on BUT it’s still not fixed, and apparently I have to send it into the OEM first [...]

Screwy Laptop

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

How I was someone was offering laptop keyboards as promotional items right now. The computer is going screwier, which is impeding my ability to back things up. I’m sure I’ll get it. I have to, it’s just making getting things done that I need to do before I can send it in really difficult, [...]

Yesterday was Rough

Friday, February 26th, 2010

I was a big ball of stress, some of the residual is still with me but it’s finally starting to release.
I had a day planned of catching up on some chores, making a big brunch for everyone, finishing some assignments and then looking for ways to fix the desktop computer.
Then munchkin broke the laptop. [...]

Working out the Kinks

Friday, February 19th, 2010

I’ve been having some major issues with the Firefox browser lately, and have decided to try out Google Chrome. We’re still in the testing phase, much like someone might take a few weeks and see if conjugated linoleic acid is a good way for them to lose weight.
I’ve already found a few things I [...]

Advice Taken

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

I’m always surprised when people actually take the advice I give them. I suppose it goes back to being made to feel useless before. My step-father always used to ask me to fix the computer, or what was wrong with the computer and then be surprised when he didn’t listen to me and wound up [...]

This one’s back up

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

I uninstalled and reinstalled this site, and several of the others are currently uninstalled right now, because I took a break from things and just now have got MOST of this site back together.
I still need to fix the widgets, but it’s past midnight and that’s seriously enough for me right now. My eyes [...]

Locked out of my site

Monday, December 7th, 2009

For the past few days I’ve been locked out of several of my websites because I experienced a serious and malicious attack from a hacker, who had managed to hijack the password to get into my server account and built a subdomain on the back of this site with which to spoof paypal.
I may [...]

New Laptop

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I’ve been talking several times in the past few weeks and months about us getting a new laptop, and over the Thanksgiving weekend we were actually able to do that, thanks to an amazing deal from Office Depot.
I’d been browsing around deals several places. A friend recommended to me that Best Buy had a Sony [...]
