It's Working Again

Well, I'm still messing with the new computer and Internet. For the past few days Internet connectivity between the network has been spotty. We reinstalled the program on the other end and strange messages came up that it wasn't compatible with Windows (these messages hadn't come up before -- go figure) insisting to call the hardware support line before you mess up your entire computer forever. The wording was pretty much that too. So I called. The first thing he said is disregard the instructions! There is some kind of passphrase with the WEP security. He said NEVER use it. Well, the instructions show how to use it. I'm thinking, why bother writing this silly little manual that came with the hardware if the you are NEVER supposed to follow those instructions. So I just get back online... and now I have to be across town in a half hour.

  1. Whoever gave you that advice about not using the WEP passphrase should be fired. You need to set up security on that wireless router or you will end up sharing your connection with strangers. Worse, someone will be able to get into your computer.

  2. Ah! See, my point expactly! I'm following the directions, why aren't things easy?!?!?

    Anyway, we still have a key code and it says it's encrypted. But, I made up 10 digits rather than use the auto-generated digits that passphrase creates via the program that came with router.

My Favorite Things

Thirteen of My Favorite Things Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on kittens.... I love watching and singing along to a great musical. When I was a kid I used to run about singing like life was a musical. People would ask me what I was singing, but I was just making it up as I went. And I love dancing. I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
