Sunday...

• Went to the Farmer's Market with
  deakat and had a lovely time looking at beautiful organic vegetables, and meeting wonderful dogs. Marvelled at her earrings - a nice counterpoint to my glasses frames. We ate healthy popsicles and admired mini-eggplants.
  
  
• We met up with the people at Ottawa Slashers for brunch, which was fun. My eggs benedict dish was delicious, though the potatoes were peppered - I hate pepper on potatoes, but I didn't mean to eat the potatoes anyway, so it was all right.
  
  
• Went home and visited and talked with redmtl, who was tweaking my computer. I phoned Rogers to see why my wireless connection to the Internet was so weak. Called four times, actually. The first call got a dweeb who said he changed a connection at their end, but the signal was no better. So sorry, he said, guess you have interference, nothing we can do, good-bye. When I next called back I got a much brighter soul called Nick, who caught my Cyberdyne-Skynet jokes, and eventually we found the source of my problem - my model was missing parts. So I got my panda umbrella (it had, just at that moment, started to rain) and tromped over to the nearest Rogers office, where a laconic young woman switched my old inferior modem for a new one with all parts intact.
  
  
• Now all my wireless devices connect to the Net well. Yes!
  
  
• Went to dinner with
  redmtl and maaseru. A good time, and a good meal, was had by all.
  
  
• Came home and downloaded or restored a bunch of programs to my lovely new computer. I think I will call him Lysander.
