Really, HP?

Seriously, HP?  If a Windows OEM installation of yours gets corrupted, you don’t offer a repair solution other than to wipe the computer clean, reformat the hard drive, and do a complete reinstall? thank you for making my morning oh so much longer than it really needed to be.  The configuration I’ll have to do Read More…

How incredibly cool

Went for my final tux fitting last night. Had to get almost completely re-measured since I’ve lost 20 lbs  since my initial fitting.  I dropped from a coat size of a 44 Long to a 41 Long (hoorah!).  I also dropped from a pant with a waist measurement of 38 to a 34 (hoorah again!).  Read More…

Raining, on the hottest day of the week?  Yeah, this is gonna be fun.

Hmmm….

My service died on Friday.  After a troubleshooting call to Insight, it was determined a tech should be out Saturday morning to check on and correct the problem. They Read More…

A new day dawns

Okay, not much of a blog post to day, but this is Day One of my “Break the caffeine addiction” process.  As much as I enjoy my morning cups of cafe (given it’s a small pot, I should actually say my morning POT of café.)  So this morning, I’m switching to green tea.  Specifically, some Read More…

Hacked…I think

So, I have been gone out of town for two days.  When I left, my internet was working fine.  Today, I try to get on and I get this; So I call Insight. I leave a message with the abuse hotline.  Supposedly I’ve been locked out for accessing copyrighted material.  ???? they call me back, Read More…

4th Weekend

As the holiday approaches, let’s all take a moment to remember and be thankful for the freedoms we have.  So many other places still don’t have the kinds of basic freedoms we enjoy.  And let’s remember those that fought for those freedoms that we so enjoy.   On a side note, I have been asked Read More…
