peacers

we were wondering if estrip was down. we finally got our internet working today, but in the few snatches of internet time we have had in the past few days, we have not been able to get onto estrip. boo!
but now i'm at work and its working! And its not working at home! what gives?

internet issue was actually a problem with the lines apparently. same internet guy came back and fixed the problem. hopefully.

anyway... i should NOT be playing estrip at work. Boo.

I am having a hard time right now...

The internet is barely working and its really pissing me off. It is as if it works, then it doesn't... you have to mess around and connect it again... its as is my computer is changing its internal setting whenever it damn well pleases. Sometimes I will go into the wireless network connection page and it says that windows is controling my wireless network, and sometimes the wireless card program is controlling my wireless network. I even went so far as to purchase a completely new wireless card last night because I thought that might be it!

The Verizon DSL guy came out and said my line is great, putting out even more than what I am subscribed for.

What do I do? I'm getting so pissed! I feel as though by the time i click on the publish button my internet will be back off!

(e:lauren) will have to mess with it all day.

note... INTERNET DID NOT WORK WHEN I HIT PUBLISH!!! AAARRGHHH!!

note again... TIMES TWO!~

PS: Next time you hear swearing, yelling, general pandemonium and a "Hey Felly" or "Hey Ralphie" coming from a passing bus window, know that it is me. ;-)

fellyconnelly writes at 12:07:05 07/22/08 - Comment #37294: kick that snooty lady over and yell out the window next time!

Got internet fixed... sorta...

also - can't do time warner cable as we have free cable now and don't want to lose it!

tinypliny writes at 10:07:04 07/20/08 - Comment #37246: BTW, I am switching to TimeWarner cable this year. Verizon DSL was a huge mistake and a huge headache. Every few weeks, the blasted thing would get so slow, I wanted to tear my hair out - strand by strand. It was aggravation maxed out.

TimeWarner rates: :::link:::
I think I will be opting for the basic $19.99/month package. No one-year commitment.
Around $60 start-up fee (including "activation" and installation - I already have cabling in my flat).
I am going to wait and watch how this goes.

tinypliny writes at 10:02:32 07/20/08 - Comment #37245: HEY!!! I saw you (in a red-white-striped windcheater) and Ralphie around 8:55 outside your building on Saturday from the bus. I waved at you, and wanted to open the window to give you a shout but got stared down by the snooty lady next to me. Yeesh.
Get a life, snooty lady! Not everyone wants to die prim and proper!!

heidi writes at 11:30:26 07/19/08 - Comment #37189: Felly -

First - if you connect your DSL modem directly to your laptop using a network cable, does the connection still flake?

Second - If both windows and and the card-specific software are controlling your wireless connection, then you've got a conflict happening between the two pieces of software over your hardware, causing internet flaking.

I generally dislike the card-specific software (clunky, bloated, unnecessary "features"), so I'm going to tell you how to set the windows controller as primary:

If you can see the Windows wireless icon in your system tray (the row of icons next to the clock in the bottom right corner), right click on it, choose "Status". In the dialog box that opens, click on "properties". On the "wireless networks" tab, make sure the "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings" box is checked. Click "Ok".

Right click on the system tray icon for the card-specific software. Click exit.

If you don't see the windows wireless controller software in the system tray, Go to start > control panel. Use "classic view". Choose Admnistrative Tools. Then "Services". Scroll to the bottom of the list until you find "Wireless Zero Configuration". If its status is "stopped", right click on it and choose "Start". you should then be able to go thru the steps above to set it as your controller.

Hope this helps,

Heidi

bumps in the night.

couple a things i have recently noted...

(e:paul) i cannot believe that you have a cat. Its really kinda blowing my mind right now. How much 'anti cat dander' medicine do you have to take?

obama is totally screwing up right now and its highly dissapointing.

my internet connection h as been screwy and I was out for two days. Now I'm just waiting on a new wireless card to replace the wireless dongle which suuucckks. Hehe dongle.

They are reblacktopping my parking lot. Which means they have invited us to use their lot behind the old YMCA on North Street. Which is total sketchville. Ithink maybe it might be better to park in the street, but I don't know if there is a no parking overnight rule here. I know its just 2 hour parking 7 am to 7 pm....

OH an the old YMCA is totally haunted. They are turning it into senior housing, but its the type of place you can just look at and say... yup its haunted. I know one of the guys who is working in there and I want to try and get him to bring me in there in the middle of the night so i can get freaked out by ghosties.

Work. Work. Work. Work.

Early

With (e:lauren)'s parents visiting for a couple days, I don't quite know what to do with myself. Normally in themornings that I work I have things timed perfectly for getting myself up, dressed and fed. But with sleeping parents in the living room, I decided to cut my morning down by a half hour.

I got to springville a whole hour early. Went shopping for my lunch and now I'm sitting here a half hour before close. *sigh* I'm not really good at this whole timing thing.

On another note, I am looking at a box here at work that have my new kicks in them. I'm very excited. So excited that I'm going to go put them on. Yes... sneakers at work. What a rebel I am!

after all

Its hard being a single mommy apparently. I was so busy while (e:lauren) was gone, trying to pay attention to my boys when i got home from long shifts, i had very little time for anything else!

Went to my grandparents for a couple days also - haha spent fourth of july at the races. WOW! let me tell you how interesting that was... some interestin folk up there... especially when they had the boat races... as in race cars pulling old boats around the track - the boats were, incidentally, not on trailers. It was kinda ridiculous.

OH and here's the good news.. If ANYBODY is interested or knows anybody who is interested in an apartment, my complex here at 367 elmwood has some openings. Totally gay friendly, pet friendly and wonderful people. example.... last week i said - hey my dishwasher isn't working! is that something i should call somebody to come fix it? and my response was... hey, i'll send out a brand new dishwasher by tuesday! it should be here by five. she also offered to include a free kitten, but i declined.

HEAT is included! believe it or not... the place is a bit smaller, but perfect for one.

SO if anyone needs a place, PLEASE let me know. (we also get referral credits!)

anyway, senior ralphie is off to the vets again!!

Crackberries, Earlybirds and Attack vids

Training yesterday Morning (my day off) on data devices on the Verizon Network. I believe that it has forced me into being interested in a data device. I think I want a blackberry. or should I say a crackberry? Sigh.... DAMMIT. I think I really do. Seriously. But I have to wait till September before I'm going to be eligible for a ten month upgrade. stttuuuupid.

But speaking of yesterday mornings training, I was complaining that I had to be up at 6 am on my day off. I dislike this morning stuff. This morning it was 630. Tomorrow? 530. Friday? 5. Sat? 7. Phew for Sat! Can't wait to sleep in man. BOOOOO!

BUt of course this is all so that i have about ten minutes of procrastination in the morning that I can attempt to read/post estrip.

or to post video of Ralphie and MAxx playing.

Also, I need to start working on a business plan. SERIOUSLY need to work on my plan for life. I'm starting today. Seriously.

rollercoaster of love

was that my only opportunity to see LC? I have an aweful feeling it was. daaammmitt!

Home was great. Visited the ol parential units. They loved Ralphie. My mom claims to dislike dogs greatly, but she had him up on the couch and was all up in his face talkin to him like he was a baby. It was really cute/twilight zone-ish.

and now its back to the doldrums of work.

I need to spice up my life... but i wonder if that means I need to watch the spice girls movie.....
