Foul-ups Happen

Sometimes I wonder if computers are instruments of torture.

Foul-ups happen….yeah right. Memory gets used and vanishes. I want a laptop that has enough memory and doesn’t crack my dining room table.

Is that too much to ask? This computer is great, but it has some problems. Its memory seems to be getting used and I have no idea what is using it up. Right now I am down to 3 gb, sometimes even less. GRRRRRRRRR

It could be worse. I don’t want to think about that. :P

Who do you talk to?

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Maybe I should have said, how do you talk to people?

On the phone is a popular way to talk, in person is also good. I also talk online to my brother-in-laws, yes, more than one that is. I know that some will need live chat software for their laptops, others will need new programs for their desk tops. Do people still use desktop computers?

I do, do not have any laptop. Of course, I have learned how to do a lot of talking with only my nouth. I do sometimes get into trouble though. At least when I type it on the keyboard, I have time to think before typing and can delete.

You do not want to know how many times I delete things because of typos. That is another story. :)

Science Fiction

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

I love to read. Science Fiction and Historical Romance books are amond some of my favorites.

Now when I heard about plasma mounts, I thought it was about some sort of futuristic gun mount. Nope, it is about mounting a plasma TV set. Learn something new everyday.

I can almost see it - you drive your car down the freeway, some idiot cuts in front of you and cuts you off, you use your plasma gun to give him a flat tire so he can’t do that to anyone else. Maybe not, that would start a new type of road rage, and that AIN’T nice.

Oh well, I used to wish that I could have an old fashioned arny tank for a vehicle so that no one would crowd me on the road. However with the price of gas these days NO WAY. Dreams can be fun. :)

Still here

Friday, September 25th, 2009

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. :)

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.

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.

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. :)

I’m Baaaack

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Yes, this opinionated fat broad (my description) is back on the internet.

Not being able to count on the phone, not being able to get rid of junk e-mail are both extreme hassles. I have finally gotten through all of the e-mail that built up over the past few days. YUK to the extreme.
