They Think They’re Newsworthy…. 11/30/05

This was a really, really bad week to be so sick. My projects keep stacking up higher and higher, and my work is progressing much slower than normal. What else can I do, though? Sigh…. <cough> <cough>

Yuck, I started getting a bad cold last night before going to bed. I could feel it fill my chest. Today has been one big long body ache and nonstop coughing. I’ve actually been so out of it, I’ve falled down the stairs twice this afternoon. At least I avoided falling on my face. I […]

After thinking about it, I’m getting even more certain that the overheated processor was the cause of my recent computer problems. Until just a few minutes ago, I was hesitant in placing the full blame because I couldn’t figure out why an overheat would be triggered every night. That would be when the processor is […]

If you’ve ever had a problem, like I have, with Firefox where the most recently used window size doesn’t seem to be saved, so that whenever you open Firefox there the window opens up in a weird size/position — here’s your solution!

I pulled […]

My computer is starting to act really weird…. Ok, ok… I’ve seen worse. But this is weird and really annoying! It’s almost like my computer is having trouble writing to the registry. None of my windows remember their size when I close and reopen. My browser, for instance, always opens filling the left hand […]

Today was one of those busy-trying-to-catch-up days. I’ve finished almost everything I set out to accomplish today, and am eager to use tonight to start trying to catch up to everything else. There is just so much going on right now! I’m feeling pretty good about the business right now. Especially since getting feedback today […]

We had a terrific Thanksgiving Day here! I took today off (amazing, huh?) and had a nice nap with the kids! (yay — kids as in plural!) I had Killy on one side and Ellie on the other, and it was wonderful! We had a delicious Thanksgiving feast, watched the Macy’s Day Commercial Parade, […]
