Blogging on a UNIX box= Bleh
Well, I am back to give all of you lovely, and not so lovely folks another peek into my boring but stess filled life.
Since my primary computer crapped out, I spent some time attempting to set my laptop up on the internet, this was
not very successful for a number of reasons.
A. about 4 weeks ago we had a thunderstorm that lit the skies for hours. During this storm my power supply decided that
it didn't appreciate the power surge it took. oops, it's dead. My Modem was squirrelly but functional but i found out that the
ethernet port took a hit also. so it will not work either. my upstairs neighbor got lucky when the storm just fried his modem.
b. I bought a new power supply at one of thise evil office supply chains, so I can use it but no internet available. $79.95 plus tax!
c. I tried to get my roomies UNIX box to log on but it wouldn't work until after 25 minutes on the phone with RR/TimeWarner
customer service. this is when I knew that my laptop was screwed and that this ancient UNIX box could see the NET,(after resets)
so I have at least minimal JU access. We shall see how the primary computer testing and repair goes over the next few hours and days.
I need to clean house today so it is time to listen to some Killer Guitarists, to keep the motivation level up.
So far it has been Robin Trower, Ben Harper, next Joe Satriani and ???
