The start of this month has turned out to be a lot busier than I would have liked. I promised more LJ updates so here's to hoping I'm able to make time to post at least once or twice a week now ( Read more... )

As of lately I've not had much luck with my electronics; not the small items but the larger ticket items. The first to go was my computer and it wasn't a complete surprise because of the trouble I've been having with it for several weeks. The HDTV I went half and half on with my mother is a different story. The TV isn't dead per se, but I'm ( Read more... )

Frustrating home drama aside, the busy pace of my life has been slowing down recently. I'm still employed at PetSmart, which despite the low pay turned out to be a decent enough job. The work is something I definitely don't want to do with the rest of my life (and I won't) but it helps pay the bills. I just find the constantly shifting schedule in ( Read more... )

This weekend was one of the more stressful weekends that I've had in a while. Between, the computer I'm fixing, my dog and not feeling well myself, I feel as if I could use more of a vacation and less of a weekend ( Read more... )

Time sure does fly when busy all week. I don't think I've managed to achieve a single thing that I set out to do beyond the internship and work at UPS. So anyone that I made a promise to have something done by today, it'll have to be done tomorrow. My bad ( Read more... )

I'm certain that I found the problem with my desktop computer's internet connection. The ethernet card seems to be damaged in some way. I thought it was worrisome when I found the ethernet cable unplugged, because it has to either be manually removed or forcefully yanked out of a card. Anyway, I am in luck because I happened to find a seven year ( Read more... )

Before I begin on this long entry I'd like to wish a happy belated birthday to goldeagleradar. I hope you had a good day ( Read more... )

I finally had my internet restored by Cavalier yesterday afternoon. Considering all that I had to go through (talking to a different DSL technician with every call) the restoration almost feels like chance. The entire ordeal was frustrating enough, so instead of hoping back online the first chance I got, I turned the computer off and did other ( Read more... )

I spent my entire yesterday, or at least a good deal of it "fixing" a co-worker's computer. She told me several weeks ago that she thought the machine might have a virus and that her daughter was distraught because she couldn't use it. She was considering calling Geek Squad but I said I'd look at the machine before they over-charged her for ( Read more... )

After a good night's rest I've found and fixed the problem with my desktop, thank you PC Guru. Now I just need to set up Mark's limited profile again and everything should be good. I also suffered through the longest virus scan ever which did turn up a few trojan horses but I'm not sure if those were part of the problem. I suspect installing ( Read more... )
