Starting the new year with a bang (no, not that kind)
I started the New Year off with a bang!
That was the sound of my computer at home crashing. We got webcams for Christmas gifts, and in the process of loading the various softwares to make the whole mess work, I found that ICQ and Trillian and Panda Antivirus don't play nicely together.
To make a long story short, when I gave up and went to bed last night, I am not able to access E mail from either client, I cannot bring up a web page so my computer guru friend can peek inside and help, I can't use trillian ( I don't care if that computer EVER has Icq on it again). I can't even log into Ultima Online and take out my frustrations on some monsters. Basically the computer does not see the cable modem attached to it.
The last time I had cable modem troubles, I was on the phone with tech support for HOURS with somebody in India. Sigh. I don't know how long it will take this time, and I have very little patience for this kind of bullshit anymore.
I will just have to post from here for the foreseeable future, unless the Good Computer Fairy of the Midwest visits my house while I am gone. With my luck the dog will bite him....
Happy New Year anyway

You sound like you're coping much better than I would. I hope everything's back up soon. Webcams are nice.

Trust me, if I wasn't so bummed out about the whole deal, I would be in the midst of an epic tantrum. I would really like to just pack the whole mess up and find a convenient dumpster, except that I can't afford a new puter right now.
