This is funny. I went around to find my bookmarks again and headed to sevens site. It showed not found. WARNING! Stupid moment of the week! Heard the damn harley motor and didn't dawn on me that I forgot to tell firefox not to load pics.
Explanation: Ok, last week I tried helping tina with her computer, did everything except wipe it clean. Well, wal-mart yesterday sold me Taxcut Deluxe(It's 20 there, you might pay more if you get it direct from H&R Block). I've been having a problem off and on. I know it was after I wiped my computer the first time. That was because of a trojan or something that got installed during one of my windows updates. So I wiped it a while back, before service pack 2. I'm about to make a leap here, you'll see in a minute. I did download SP2 for XP when it came out. Somewhere between the time I wiped my hard drive and a couple days ago, my cd-rw drive won't read most discs. It won't do the auto run. I have to put the disk in and restart my computer. Then use either my computer or run to get at what's on the damn disk. This time I couldn't open the disk at all. I knew calling tech support for taxcut, they'd want me to check out my OS first. Yeah, I need my damn taxes back, I'll just wipe it again. Hell, I had a couple new trojans from updating, before I found firefox. My defrag wouldn't completely defrag anyway, now it is. So, I think when I wiped and reinstalled xp, there's a driver or program missing. I don't have the disk. The one thing I do know is when I got it, the programmer had installed Nero for the rw part. Now I don't have it and I don't have the disk for it. Oh well, I don't have that kind of cash. Never could get the damn thing to burn my pictures anyway. They weren't copyrighted or anything, just the normal my kids and family pics. The only thing it ever burned for me was my Bon Jovi Mix. Ironically, I feel it was worth the 400 I paid for the tower. 400 is general, I know it was more than but less than 500. Rambling again, bear with me, this is just how my brain works.
Anyway, I couldn't get the computer to even read the damn disk. So, I wiped the hard drive. Yes, I formatted it. Not that I'm a programmer or even know what I'm doing. I know enough to get me where I want to be. I'm glad I have DSL this time. Last time I had dialup and took 2 days to fully update xp. That was before reinstalling programs or even plugins for the browser. So, after I wiped and updated fully minus sp2 I put in the disk again. No Go! I almost broke the disk in half. So, I cheated. I restarted with the disk in. Tried run, browse, d:/, install.exe, you know the drill. NOPE. Tried mycomputer, d:/, install.exe. BINGO! Almost 15 minutes later I got it to install. Yeah, now my taxes are done. I didn't install or update anything until I got firefox. No way was I letting windows screw me again. It's homepage is about:blank. From there I only go to windows update. Never Again! So, after doing firefox and updates, I went about getting my blogs back in my bookmarks. Starting with what I listed on this page. I'm lazy. I didn't want to type. I have my entire bookmark list printed out, from copy/pasting last night, I just didn't want to type all day. That's where we ended up with the April Fools joke pre day what have you over at seven's. I got to admit I was doubtful. The pic looked a little 'off'. And I was hearing the harley. Didn't dawn on me to scroll down. I asked restless angel. then I went back to seven's and noticed the scroll bar on the right, you know to go down farther. I commented something like: that was mean. had to wipe my computer and was getting my bookmarks back, I think I inserted a smiley or something. You see, I had forgotten to set firefox to not load pictures unless they are on the originating site. If you run firefox, you know what I mean. If you don't you're pretty much clueless. I also have flash block, but for some reason I couldn't get the roadrunner to stop. It isn't supposed to load unless I tell it too. Oh well, I think I know the extension I downloaded that screwed that. I'll delete it once I figure it out. Me: I'm a trial and error learner. Back to the point, seven thought, I think from the comment on previous post, that his picture crashed my whole computer. I don't know that much about computers but I'm fairly sure a mere pic can't do that. Maybe crash the browser, but not the whole computer. So now, I get a fairly good laugh after the pain in the ass day I had. And I'm on seven's list. Cool. I thought I was boring, I guess the comment about porn caught his attention. Tina, should I point him to the guilty pleasures post? ROFLMAO. After haloscan and taking off the blog comments I lost the 'nice' comment you left there. I'm way too inhibited, but I'm getting better.
'Give Me Something To Believe In' by Bon Jovi is playing on my YIM, Launchcast, my station. Had to say that. It's awesome. Can you tell how obsessed I am with them. You know, I didn't like Jon Bon Jovi all that much when they split for a little while. Between him and Richie, they are magic. They speak to me. 'I'd live and I'd die for you, I'd steal the sun from the sky for you, When you breathe I wanna be the air for you'. Ok, I know that's not the right song, the name is escaping me at the moment. But that song is my most favorite and still speaks to me. Even though it talks about somebody leaving for good this time. I'm getting more random. Sorry guys. I think I'll start posting the lyrics to the ones that speak to me most. That's it for now, see ya when I finish messing round with the crap.
*Update: Here's the Guilty Pleasures Post! Tina thought it'd be a good idea for the readers. You know, that means you have to comment again. ;) |
