Still here

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Welcome back!

I am still here. I just went through some interesting things with my computer. I learn a little each day. Hopefully the computer survives what I do to it.

Some programs….well, lets just say that my experimenting sometimes has unfortunate results. I won’t dance around about it, although Dansko shoes should help even me to dance, I messed up. Erased somethings that I did not want to have erased.

With the help of my brother-in-law Ed, things are basically back to good operating condition. Here’s hoping that I learn and don’t mess up again. :)

We love music

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

My husband and I both love a lot of types of music. Right now we are listening to early rock and roll to the tune of ‘Why must I be a teenager in love?’

Our grandpa had a bunch of cassette tapes of early rock and roll from the late 1850’s to the late 60’s.

It has been so much fun to hear all of the music. We can understand the words, hear the rhythm and actually sing along. I have no idea if the neighbors like to hear our voices, though. :)

Complaints about spam

Monday, July 27th, 2009

Remember when I had complained about some of the spam getting in my e-mail?

I looked up the site for the FCC - http://www.fcc.gov/ - I found it.

They even have an e-mail address for obscene material. fccinfo@fcc.gov

It is unbelievable just what trash will end up in your box when you never asked for it in the first place. I would dearly enjoy finding a way to shut down those sites. Some of what gets sent out is stupid, some is down right obscene and gets me riled.

I wonder what makes them think that I want their trash? Yes, I am ranting. Sometimes, blowing steam can help get rid of pressure.

I Have A Problem

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

Yes, I do have a problem. My computer is slowing down. It is supposed to have a 10GB hard drive. However, the memory availability is down to only 4%. OWWWW

Something is absorbing the memory and I do not know how to get the unnecessary out, or what it is. I know that I can get a different hard drive that will have more memory, I just do not want to lose the items that I have stored right now.

Picky aren’t I? :)

I know that there are things that can be done. Like getting a ddr3, using memory sticks, new drive…..yada, yada, yada. I just do not know how to do these things. Anybody have any advice out there in internet land? It might help this basically analog person keep blogging. HELP!

Junk Mail

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

I have probably mentioned this before, but I do not really like junk mail. Wspecially when it hits my in-box on the computer.

I have unsubscribed from so many sites, it has made no difference. It seems like the junk-e-mail just keeps on coming. YUK YUK YUK !!!!

I wish that I knew more about computers so that I could give them some crud in return. I am very tired of finding information about sexual organs and pills concerning those items. I do not want to date others, I am married and happy about it.

I am complaining. Definitely complaining. At least I am able to blow some steam somewhere.

Grrrrr

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

I know that is not a word, but right now that is how I feel.
GRRRRRR

I was trying to do something on the computer, and the memory has gotten real tight. I have no idea why, but it has gotten tight. Down to 5% of all things. I am no expert, but that sounds wrong. I know that laptop memory can be improved and expanded. I just wonder about table top computers.

I was working on something, the next I knew, it was frozen. YUK The only thing that I could do was to hit the reset button. A narrow excape, but from what?

What was it that I said before? Oh yeah…..Grrrrr.

Heat Wave

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

The heat wave is continuing.

We have been asked to cut down on electricity.

In Florida, the NASA program has had to hold off on a launch. Too bad they cannot send the rain our way.

Rolling Blackouts

Friday, July 10th, 2009

The heat is on. The threat of rolling blackouts is also on if people do not find a way to cut back on their electric usage.

Since we live in a part of Texas where the heat goes over 100, cutting back on the AC is not reasonable for those with health problems. Turning off extra lights, going on line after 10 pm, not watching TV all the time, however are reasonable.

Here is hoping that we do not get blacked out.

I’ve been playing

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

I have been playing around with my computer. When it was given to me, I started to learn how to use it. Never had a handbook to know what to do.

Just learned about defragging the computer to help with removal of unnecessary stuff. I’ve been doing the disc cleanup and have C Cleaner. It makes me think that maybe some industrial supplies might come in handy to get done what I need done.

The only trouble is that I do not know which files and programs are not needed and which ones are. ??? How do I find that out? Oh yeah, also found out about using the refresh in the system tools. Very handy since I accidentally wiped out the games that came with the computer. :)

Wishes

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Yes, everybody has wishes. One of mine involves the use and purchase of a laptop.

It would be nice to get something else to work on sometimes. Something that would allow me to sit on the couch and sit with ease instead of having to sit on an office chair. It could be worse though. At least I have a computer and can go online and blog and other stuff. It can be fun. I just wish that everyone would have the opportunity to enjoy the same things.

Yes, a laptop would be nice. :)
