So I know not to click on links in emails... but I was talking and not paying attention and... now I have spyware I can NOT get rid of. Fortunately its not a particularly gross one - but it is most definately incredibly invasive and obnoxious. All its done, that I can tell, is reset my homepage to google and put an annoying bug in my system tray ( Read more... )

Nothing like deciding at 10:30 on a Friday night to leave one day early for Iowa to make certain you are there before the truck because the moving agency can't give you a FIRM arrival day/time. So paranoid me decided I'd feel better getting in Sunday in case the truck shows up on Monday. It is by contract supposed to be there by Tuesday at the ( Read more... )

I keep thinking I've turned the corner and my house will have to finally start getting cleaner as I pack... But since that hasn't happened yet, I'm beginning to think I'm just moving where the mess is. But the good news is my studio and guestroom are packed. The dining room is mostly done - although that is a huge wreck because it is my staging ( Read more... )

I forgot what passing out feels like, although I managed not to lose conciousness, its the closest I've come to it in a long time. Its 87 degrees F out - I haven't had a lot to eat or drink today. And I went to a party with much standing around in the warm air. Oh and I'm on my period. The combination almost proved too much, but the one thing ( Read more... )

Research is supposed to be sexy right? Yea right. I've spent 2.5 hours straight database mining so I can rerun all the statistics for my teaching paper. My brain is dripping out my ear. And the sad part is, I'm only half way through my list of names.

I now have anti-virus (I love site licences) and campus internet (happy!). I 've installed most all the programs I had on disk (I do have to find SimFarm however, somewhere). Things seem to be working, which is always a plus. I'm loving the google desktop - never had that before but it came installed on the new toy and I do like it. All in all ( Read more... )

Two weeks after my new shiney arrived, I've finally begun moving onto it. It arrived right before I left for Iowa, and I've been busy and travelling and visiting since then, so tonight was the first night I've had a chance to begin moving onto the new laptop. It has a wide screen. When I first opened it, I hated it because the screen seemed so ( Read more... )

Silence is because I've been busy. And I'm lazy but that's another issue. Regardless, I drove about 2500 miles last week. I drove from Buffalo to Iowa and back. And then drove from Buffalo to Amhearst Mass and Back. But I have an apartment and I got my doggie back from Li which is good ( Read more... )
