Foul-ups Happen

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Welcome back!

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

Forgetting, forgetting, oops

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

What was I saying? I forget…..again.

I am not yet 60. Why is my memory getting so full of holes? I have no idea. All that I know is that should I think of something, I should write it down quickly before something else takes the idea away.

Don’t worry, this started to happen when i was only 17. Of course that does not say anything about how it is right now, though.

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!

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 Have A Camera

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

I now have a digital camera. I have absolutely no idea who to use it at all. I am not even sure that there is enough memory available in my computer to load the program comes with it. OY VEY.

It could be worse, though. I shall NOT name the ways it could be worse. When we are both completely over this nasty case of flu that we have both suffered through, I will get brave and try to experiment with it. Who knows, I might even be able to make shots that I would not be ashamed of showing to others. One of these days, I might even show some of those pictures here on my blog. :)

Am I Getting Old?

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

I do wonder, am I getting old? I have grey/gray hair (depends on how you spell it), wrinkles that are starting to show, and sometimes my memory is not what I would like it to be.

Now I do not have a Mac memory by any means. I cannot add a stick or two to increase what my memory capacity happens to be. I could do that on my computer, but my brain is already hard wired with what ever it happens to have. Maybe it is because of all the different things that have gone on in my life? I don’t know. All I know is that when I cannot remember the word dress to complement a friend on what she is wearing, it makes me wonder what is going on.

So, does that mean that I am getting old? I don’t know………….can’t remember. :)

Arg !

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Yes, I did write ARG ! Have you ever had a dream about something, and when you wake up, want to write it down? However, when you get pen and paper together, you can’t remember what it was? It is enough to make a grown woman growl. Of course, when that happens, my husband looks at me as if I’d lost my mind.

Maybe I have, sort of. After all I lost that dream, where I put my glasses, what I went in to the bed room for, or any number of other things. When did my memory start to go, or get so many holes in it? I think I’ve not completely lost my mind, have I?

Can’t remember. At least I know that my brain is still somewhere inside my skull. After all I am able to hold intelligent conversation. Don’t know if anyone else would agree with me, but there it is.

I do know some of the answers on the TV program Jeopardy. HA ! That’s proof, ain’t it? I haven’t lost everything, yet. :)

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Do you remember hearing that on the TV? I believe it is true. A mind IS a terrible thing to waste. It doesn’t matter how old the person is either.

I know there are things out there to improve the system memory in computers. I wish that there were things that you could get to improve the memory in a person. There are times that I find I have forgotten something important, and of course the unimportant things, too. It almost drives me bonkers. It seems like the unimportant things can cause more distress than the very important things. The very important things will be written down, after all. It’s the unimportant things that don’t get written down. UG, that is all I can say about that.

I walked up to a friend one day and tried to tell her that she was wearing a pretty outfit. The word I was looking for…wasn’t there. The word was dress. I need more memory !! I’m not talking about my computer here.

Computers

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I have a table top computer and have been having a great time surfing the internet and blogging. I now have an anti-virus program to keep out nasty surprises designed to make things miserable.

The only thing that bugs me now is memory. I do a disk clean-up every so often, and that does happen to help. I wish that I knew which things I could eliminate from the computer memory storage, but as I have mentioned before, I am more analog than digitally inclined.

I have learned to do some things, but can’t seem to figure out others. I am not giving up, though. The way I figure it if I keep trying, sooner or later some understanding will seep into my mind and I will understand a little better.
