What a few busy days!

November 30, 2007 · Filed Under Daily Stuff, Geek Stuff 

Wow. This week has flown by. And, what a week it has been.
It all started on Tuesday, when I woke up to no cable or internet. I was pissed. The bastards shut me down - for $50.00 bucks. I just about died! When I spoke to the cable woman the day before Thanksgiving, she told me, “I was all set…” I had just paid $200.00 on that day.

Tuesday was a different story. I could not pay the $50 cause my check had not appeared in my bank yet. (I was waiting for a deposit) So that night we were without Tv or internet. I was so mad! I missed all my favorite shows. Boston Legal, NCIS and The Unit…

I called my bank and they said to check back on Wednesday…

So Wednesday morning I called my bank and did the automated phone thingy - SCORE! it was there!!

Before I left for work, I called cable and paid the $50 bucks (again - automated) and no shit - 2 minutes later my cable was back on. Internet too.

I was happy girl once again.

So Wednesday, I decided to finally do a complete reinstall of my Windows XP. I saved all the stuff I needed and moved them to my other hard drive and after I came home from work I redid the whole thing.

It takes nothing to redo Windows (usually) but …I did not get a 100% clean install, so I redid it again…

Then it was working fine. Was a bit sketchy though.

So yesterday, I put in the wrong ATI driver - so I had to uninstall/reinstall it again. This totally screwed my installation up, so I had to do it AGAIN!

This was fine, but in the process - I wiped clean a file I needed. The password file of all files. So I could not log into my site here cause I forgot my password.

Sent for my password 6 times! But my email addy kept getting blocked for spam! I was not aware of this until I logged into my account (finally) and checked the email server.

Then I shot a letter off to my internet provider. I do not know why I am getting tagged as spam. I guess it is my host provider. They have had tags before.

So, because it goes through them - it will be tagged as spam. Needless to say, I am back up and running. So you all will be getting updates once again.

    Oh man that stinks! I can’t even tell you how many time our cable company has pulled a stunt like that. We have our phone, internet and cable with them too so the whole place goes dead when that happens! Glad you’re back up and running.
