It's odd, even when one is home all the time and doesn't have a regular nine to five job, there is still something nifty about it being Saturday. It's the weekend, and that means it's a bit more okay for you to goof off and do fun stuff, I guess. ;-)
Today's fun stuff includes trying to get our computers working together with a wireless router and card in the laptop, instead of declaring war on each other and shutting down the internet so we can't get on with any of them. That was an exciting development, fixed by unplugging all the new goodies! We'll figure it out, though.
DS is on his fixed (but still slightly wonky) computer, playing games he could never run on it before. So he's content, even though there are a few quirks still to work out -- things that needed fixing that didn't get dealt with by the new parts we installed. More fun!
It's amazing how much actual helpful input I am having with all this, even though DH is the technical one. Sometimes intuition works when it comes to computers, too -- and I'm the one who is on the computer most in our family, and it seems I might have absorbed some useful knowledge in the process. ;-)
Well, time to get off the computer and go for a walk! Have an enjoyable Saturday, no matter how you spend it!
Edit: Well, I'm online on my laptop, with highspeed internet, but it's a bit quirky. Something has caused us to lose our internet connection twice, now, so that neither computer works at all online. But unplugging and reconnecting the router seems to help. I've been able to update my virus definitions and download a bunch of stuff now, and I'm still here! Waiting to lose the connection kinda reminds me of the subquality internet days in Pakistan -- ah, nostalgia! :-D
Oh, and GIP!
