Big Monster is running now, thanks to a lot of elbow grease and money for new parts. I have yet to see if the terrible disk error problem or the even more terrible blue screening problem will return. Time will tell, I suppose. TravelCLICK… sigh. Kim from H.R. called and started telling me about how… Continue reading Computer Running; TravelCLICK Not So Much
So I’m still using this really slow computer that can’t play Gunbound. It’s depressing, really. Saturday was a lot of fun. I went to Stratford with Nicole, and I spent way too much money. I bought myself a nice skirt for work, a cute shirt, a necklace and matching pair of earrings with a toe… Continue reading Two Mornings After
Well, so far the score is Big Monster 5, Karen 0. The problems that I have had with it have led me to (1) send back the BenQ FP731 for a replacement, (2) buy a new power supply to replace one I thought might be faulty, (3) buy a new hard drive to replace one… Continue reading Computer: Make that “Non-Functional”
My dad got a new Samsung 19″ flat screen CRT monitor. Good deal at newegg.com. So now I’m using the 17″ flat CRT that he was using. At least I have a monitor. The BenQ people should have gotten me a refurbished FP731 by Tuesday or Wednesday, according to their warranty policy. Oh well, I’m… Continue reading Computer & TravelCLICKness
Well, some things worked and some didn’t. I tried to post from Alan’s and I couldn’t, just like I couldn’t send email or post on my forum (which I will do shortly). Something was wrong with the internet (not his, the internet as a whole), Alan was telling me. I just got back today, because… Continue reading Champaign visit, version 3.0
My computer is functional. I purchased a 250gb drive from CompUSA for $209. The old hard drive is still full of disk errors and every time I turn it on it gets worse, so I’m going to wait to turn it on until we purchase the software to attempt to recover it. Hopefully I’ll get… Continue reading Computer update, TravelCLICK “update”
So last night I was minding my own business when all of a sudden the power fluxuated. I was concerned, as the light that was over my desk burnt out, and so I turned off my computer. Later, when I thought it was just the bulb and everything else was okay, I turned the computer… Continue reading Terrible Terrible Computer!
Well, yesterday Renee and I went to Best Buy and I helped her pick out a webcam. She really likes it, and even uses the geeky heaset thing for talking to people over messengers. FYI, I pointed her towards the Creative Labs NX Ultra, pictured here: After that, she made me dinner (shocking, if you… Continue reading If you really wanna know…
Well, today was really busy. I woke up and changed Brian’s water (cuz the surface was all covered in fish spit from him making his bubble nest). After that, I decided I’d had enough of the crappy O’Sullivan lateral file cabinet I bought (their customer service response was prompt but it did not fix any… Continue reading New Desk & Cabinet
Well, I turned in that email for John. I think it was in real good shape, relatively at least. Monty helped a considerable amount in the final stretch (props to Monty). I haven’t heard from them yet, but I did give it to them on Friday so I’m guessing it might take a while until… Continue reading Planning
