god is going to get sick of me

Back home again, after finals, which were surprisingly unstressful, and a week in South Carolina, which was even less stressful than finals. I can't believe my 19th birthday fast approaches... where did that year go? I realize it's just sort of a random number, but it seems momentous, somehow. I'd better hurry up and get away with as much as I

Are you running windows vista? My new vista gave me trouble when I tried to get on my home wireless network. It sounds like you are connected to your network but you haven't set up the network key. When you first try to log on to the network it should ask you for a password or network key, this should be a really long seres of numbers and perhaps letters. If that doesn't work I don't know what to tell you, hard to do tech support when I can't see the trouble.

Hell no I'm not running Windows Vista, nor will I be for several years... in other words, until they get all the bugs worked out, all the DRM on there is sued out of existence or hacked, and all the security issues are fixed. Fuck some Windows Vista, my friend, I plan to duel-boot Linux and XP this summer.

Yeah, except my network doesn't require a pass or a key. I think it's something to do with either the wire being shot (hard to check, since it's threaded through the ceiling), or the router's security system. I can fix it, I just haven't properly tried yet.

Ah, I sometimes forget that you may be more computer literate than I. Forgive me for giving you layperson advice.

Speaking of Vista, how is it? Besides, y'know, terrible.

[doctor_seward]

It grows on you. It's fun because it looks a lot more complex than it actually is so you can look like you really know what you are doing. From what I've seen there isn't any trouble with actual vista bugs but the fact that not all software has vista patches yet...granted I'm still waiting for that big security flaw they just haven't told us about yet

Also, if you have time to bash my OS you have time to write me e-mails. chop chop!

... From what I've seen there isn't any trouble with actual vista bugs ...

Ha! You are aware that this is Microsoft, right?

[doctor_seward]

I'm just saying it's not giving me any issues. Why do you have to make me so depressed about my new computer?

[widget_alley]

Sorry-- it's nothing personal, and I'm glad it's not giving you any trouble. I'm just bitter about all the shit it's given me over the past few days. (Network diagnostic? My savior! Tell me what's wrong, beautiful useful one.... what do you mean, you have to be connected to the Internet before you can run a diagnostic? I DON'T HAVE INTERNET, THAT'S WHY I'M USING YOU.)
