Do Re Mi

I spent all yesterday night trying to do a system restore on my computer and after all those failures, my computer decides to reset itself to factory setting. (-___________-) Kind of annoying given that I had a ton of pictures and music saved on there but I guess shouldn't consider this such a bad thing.  I mean, I could never really feel safe shutting down my computer without wondering if it would be able to restart again (my computer had issues with restarting).  And I did get to back up a lot of pictures of my dog so it's not a total loss.  And anyway, even though I took tons, literally, thousands of pictures from trips, their main purpose was to show family when I got back and I DID get to do that. In the end, I'm surprised that I'm so calm about losing all that info on my computer.  I guess that gives me incentive to create more pictures and memories and store them in a safer place for the future. At the moment, my computer is running pretty well without a...

So remember in my last post where I 'thought' I got my internet all readily set up? Well, it turns out that I ruined the connection of another computer in the process. >_> Eventually, it took another couple hours on the phone with Quest Technical Customer service to get it all straightened out.. I felt kind of bad but hey, I was listening to the instructions on someone on the phone.. Now I'm thinking to myself that maybe I shouldn't give the person I talked with a review at all because even though I was connected to the internet, it threw off the connection for someone else and that means that the instruction I got was not adequate. >:( As of now, my computer's internet service is running rather smoothly and if it ever does get disconnected, I can always try connecting with the key number I got off the router/modem thingy. But right now, for some reason, the internet on the guest account is working but the internet doesn't want to connect on t...

So today, I ended up hooking up the internet myself! I'm so proud. ^___^ I actually had a bit of a problem in the beginning but after calling customer service (for the internet company), I got some help and it all worked out. They basically had to find the password number for our home modum and then I simply clicked on start, connect, selected our modum, typed in our password, and "poof!"... wireless internet connected! ;) I had to go that route because when I tried connecting with the instruction CD, it didn't work.. -_- The whole process took really long on the phone with the nice customer service girl but it was really helpful in the end and I'm sure that we both learned something. At least, how to connect to the internet with the wireless router when the instruction CD or connection fails. xP And another thing I forgot to mention in the last post, I actually had a wireless USB and antenna thing opposed to a wireless card. Hm.. No wonder it w...
