Looking Out My Window

The first snow of the season and it won't take long to melt, but it was a pretty good ground cover none the less. This is my view looking out the window beside my desk where my computer sits. I won't be doing a lot of window gazing when it gets really cold because my old windows leak the cold air terribly. I used to have a bird feeder on the porch where I could sit and watch the birds come in to eat, but it eventually blew away and I never got around to replacing it.

My technical difficulty I mentioned in the earlier post seems to have resolved itself. Looks like the problem was on their end of it and not mine. I hate it when I can't get hold of tech support and it seems like I only have problems in the middle of the night, on weekends, or holidays. I do like our Internet provider though, they really do try to keep me happy.

Technical Difficulties

I am reminded of what it was like surfing the net with dialup. When the Pentium was fast and 512 meg was huge. When diskettes were sturdier and could hold more than floppies and DOS was still an option. Why am I reminded of all this? Because I'm having DSL modem issues. A few weeks back I was talking with my tech and he was surprised that I was still running on the original modem that he had installed. He wanted to come install a new modem, but the day he suggested we weren't going to be home, so he said that he'd come a day or so later and he never made it. So now I'm having serious issues with the Internet and he is apparently on vacation. I just talked with another tech and he's reset the card on his end, maybe that will take care of it for now. We'll see. If not, I'm to call him back and he'll see about getting a new modem out. Otherwise we'll replace on Monday.

Keep your fingers crossed!
