So, the question was recently asked as to why I don't frequent Facebook. The short answer is because I don't need to.

Let's face it, the internet has made the world incredibly smaller than it was even twenty years ago. Social networking is at an incredible high, with MySpace, Facebook, twitter, and livejournal (among many, many others). I know ( Read more... )

This is what my screen looks like when I tried to log in to my e-mail account:

I entered the issue before opening the Chat window, and the individual still had to ask me what the problem was...and only did so after he pointed out the laptop is no longer under warranty ( Read more... )

On top of everything else, the phone line is screwed. I was talking to a friend last night and got the absolute worst static you've ever heard. He called me back and we didn't know if it was his or ours. A short time later Carla phoned my cell phone because the house line was busy (which is impressive when no one is using it). I turned it on ( Read more... )

Well, apparently we got our new router this morning. Nice of the Canada Post guy to not even knock on the door or ring the bell, but simply start hanging the "wasn't home" notice on our door. Fortunately Carla was downstairs and heard the prick ( Read more... )

Today's lesson:

If you're running a Torrent program...ensure after you install it that you open an appropriate port for it. Things tend to download much faster.

I have no idea why Firefox has gone retarded...however I know random images from the internet are most assuredly not my LJ user pics. I don't even want to try and tell you what my hotmail page looked like.

Chrome looks better by the minute.

edit: reinstall fixed the formatting insanity.

That was just weird.

So, since factory resetting my laptop, I've been slowly getting it back to how it was. One thing I can't seem to get working right, is Firefox. Before the reset, I was declining the latest Firefox update. Now, when I re-installed it, I really didn't have a choice. It won't keep track of my settings (such as homepage and bookmark folders).

Quick break time at work.

That's right. At work. Firewalls being what they are, apparently one came down. I have my doubts that it will last.

In the meantime, consider the words I stumbled across tonight from editors of the blog Kotaku (I'll wait while you look that one up), who suggest that when it comes to Wii Fit, "I don't know a single ( Read more... )
