I got my laptop back! It was a long week without it so I’m super happy to have it back. What’s even better is that they didn’t have to reformat the hard drive (the problem was a clogged cooling fan causing the computer to shut down…*glares at cats and dogs*) so I don’t have to [...]

This is the second theme I’m considering. Keep in mind that I fiddled the first theme throughout the day yesterday, so it ended up with my header and with some of the “issues” of it fixed. This theme is even cleaner and more plain than the theme of yesterday. The colors are cooler, not quite [...]

I upgraded my version of WordPress today to 2.7. The new back end functionality is pretty slick. I did find that some of the plugins I was using actually broke the Dashboard, so I’ve had to disable them for now, though I think mostly only I will notice. I’ve also been playing with the idea [...]

Today, my computer crashed. The computer that’s like another extension of my body. I knew it wasn’t doing well (even though it’s only a year and a half old) and honestly, the darn thing has never worked right. I reformatted it once about 9 months ago. But twice in one hour it just…turned off. No [...]

Upgraded WordPress and the LJ Crossposter plugin activated, so let’s see if it’s actually working.

That was the theme for today at my house. This morning I started on the reorganization of my kitchen. I had this brilliant idea that I wanted to swap the food pantry area and the pots/pans/tupperware area, because it seemed like they’d be best suited if they were swapped. My husband, of course, thought I [...]

You might recall a previous post where I wrote about having bought a Wii Fit, despite the fact that I didn’t own a Wii, purely because I wanted a Wii Fit and they’re hard to find, so I got it “just in case”. Apparently, Circuit City is reading my blog (not really) because a few [...]

Shan mentioned that she didn’t want an iPhone. I laughed because I’d made this video just for her prior to that conversation. What follows is an 18 second video on how to get Shan’s sons to convince her she NEEDS an iPhone. You might not find it amusing if you’re not her, but I laughed [...]

Via the Whispernet on my new Kindle. And then was immediately bitter when I realized I’d never be able to read it on anything but a Kindle. Though Amazon makes it very easy to purchase, which I’m sure is seductive. And sheer brilliance in offering the beginning of the book free to hook the reader [...]

My laptop had a bit of a meltdown yesterday. IE doesn’t work at all and for some reason, the computer hates Firefox 3.0. I think it’s the fingerprint recognition software on the computer, which I don’t use anyway. But I tried to uninstall it and hey! the computer told me I don’t have admin privileges. [...]
