Oh by the way, if you enjoy one of the articles, or simply would like to comment one 'em, please do drop a line since I love reader feedback.
I went down today to pay for my two classes for this coming Fall semester. I swear, every semester that comes by, it gets more and more expensive. Even the parking permits! Geez! Now the damn permits are up to 17 bucks! Good lord! How am I suppose to make it in this crummy world? Absolutely no break for barely-making-it students. Oh well once again. This semester I'm jumping in on the 'ol Macintosh bandwagon. Yep. I figured I might as well start on learning something about the Mac. Afterall, word has it that they will be surpassing the PC. Though I hardly doubt it but you just never know these days. And what about Bill and his Windows? Well, I've got news for you die hards. It's going down baby! Crash and burn! (Nevermind I use it myself). Speaking of computers and crap, I finally got my networking done on my computers at home. Man, what a hell! I don't think Windows XP could handle networking at all. I've got two desktops and my laptop all hooked up to a router and all three computers have the file sharing enabled along with the sharing of all three hard drives right. Well, hooking it up and and enabling all the sharing crap and stuff and things were easy........but getting them to work is another story! Every freakin' time I would try to open up the shared folders from any of my computers (all running XP), the whole computer would either freeze up or go blank and close everything out! And then that stupid window appears..."would u like to report this problem to microsoft" or something to that nature. And then, half the time, it can't find the other computers on the network and then another error will appear; "such and such computer is not found"! I was pulling my hair out and tossing myself on the ground beating my forehead on the floor boards and screaming out, Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Why do you torment me dear God!!. Then my buddy walked in and saw me with a disturbed look on his face. He said, "dude, I know you haven't had sex in awhile but usually the bed is much more comfortable if you're going to be humping anything". I said, "shut up about my sex life. I'll hump the floor boards if I want to!". I know for a fact that it's not my lack of know-how in hooking up a network! I happen to know everything about networking! It's Bill and his darn XP and all that abbreviated computer lingo crap! I mean, what the hell is TCIP suppose to mean!? Geez! Well, to add to my nightmares, I also just bought a brand new wireless HP fancy shmancy laser printer and holy freakin' crap! I could not for the life of me pick up a signal from my laptop to the printer even though I had the damn laptop kissing the face of it!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!! At last, after atleast 3 hours or so, I had a signal. And that was after 4 re-installations of the printer driver, 3 re-installations of the wireless driver on the laptop, 3 visits to HP's website and a couple of fistfulls of black hair where there now lies a moon shaped bald spot! The bad news is, it just isn't as exciting as I thought it would be. But the good news is I can just tell the would-be onlookers that my bald spot is infact the latest fad going around hollywood.
Well, I suppose I should end this. Besides, now comes the real test.......to see if it'll print wirelessly. Hmmmmmm......sometimes you just can't help but be a pessimist. In my case.............heh heh!
