IMing

It took me a while but I eventually got hooked up and started using my free Yahoo IM to chat with numerous friends and family. Now they are trying to get me to get on Face Book. My goodness, when will it ever end? Let me get comfortable on the IM and maybe one day I’ll tackle Face Book.

Fill The Need

Every family needs a doctor, a lawyer, a mechanic and a computer geek to get by these days. I’ve gotten pretty good with the computer these past couple of years, but there is so much that I still don’t know and don’t know if I’ll ever learn or need to learn. I mean at work we have our IT people that are just a phone call away and my youngest brother, who lives pretty close by is the computer whiz of the family so I have plenty of support at my disposal. Of course my needs don’t always coincide with their schedules but we seem to work it out some how.

I can’t even imagine me needing to know about a dedicated server, or anything to do with managed hosting in my type of career and/or personal computer needs. And if I need to know what colocation is all about, I’m a firm believer of Googling anything that I need to learn about. The Internet is such a wealth of knowledge just waiting to be taken advantage of by some one just like me.

Thunder Storms

I just got settled in with my laptop, a hot cup of coffee and the TV on a decent day time channel when a severe thunder and lightening storms comes about and knocks the power out. Good thing that my laptop was on the power surger, but the cable TV are “temporarily unavailable” what a way to start the day.

I can see she wants one

I know that my wife has been wanting to order one of the Howard custom computers that she’s heard about from her brother that bought one recently. Her brother is a major computer geek, and he is always bragging about how he always buys custom computers and always has the biggest and the best.

I don’t see anything wrong with the computer that we currently have, but I wouldn’t be against supporting the idea of buying a custom laptop computer. At least that way when we go on vacation she could keep up with the things that she feels are important so she won’t be “on edge” the whole time we were gone!

Listening To The Beatles

Since I’ve been thinking about the Beatles this past week I decided to go onto YouTube.com and find some of their songs to listen to while I’m online. Penny Lane was one of my favorites, it was made right before they started getting into the hard drugs that took their music to a whole different level.
