• DSL frustrations

    Our DSL internet cut out again suddenly late this morning, and nothing helped again, until I got my hubbies Treo Stylus to push in the reset of the modem and voila it all connected through my router just fine again. This is frustrating since I never had to do this with our old modem. I…


  • Last.fm dump & Libre.fm import

    I looked at the issue of the Python methodology of getting my Last.fm profile data to my Libre.fm profile today. I can happily say I have completed this task already. I followed the instructions on the Wiki about it. It wasn’t as straightforward as that, since I use Windows Vista. Most of the instructions are…


  • Windstream Doesn’t Tell you to RESET modem

    [This is a historical look at what happened, didn’t work, and what ultimately worked in my “home network” setup (router controls DSL modem PPPoE login & connection to internet) that had always worked, then suddenly didn’t, and now works again.] Late yesterday morning all of the sudden we had no internet connection. I lived with…

        We had to live with Windstream for a long time. Now we have Cable internet, and it’s so much better, fast and solid good internet, multi-user friendly for streaming, gaming, etc. ๐Ÿ™‚

      I know this is an old post, but we have windstream and the only way I know to fix it is to move, relocate, go somewhere they have DSL with fiber lines or cable internet. Like my new laptop which the dialup modem never worked – until we moved then it worked faster than this Windstream DSL! That’s right, MSN dialup was faster than Windstream dsl. Windstream is the worst company in the world. Unfortunately, we are stuck here for another 2-3 years.

  • Stryper 25th Anniversary Tour

    My husband and I went to see Stryper in Atlanta a few days ago, Wednesday, October 21, 2009. The whole show was really good. I really liked their opening band, Manic Drive. I’d not heard of them previously, and found their show super, so we got a couple of t-shirts & their latest CD after…

      Hey, who is stryper? never heard about them. what is it, rock? country?

      Your info about daylight savings time is wrong. it says here on Oct 25 but it isnt until Nov 1. it changed to November a couple years ago. You should update your time thing. I am sick with the flu. My hubby is too. He came down with it a day before me so we both got it from someone else but it seems to be the same thing. swine flu- maybe, but mild so far.

      Becky, you’ve never heard of Stryper? Of all the music in the world that I like, they are in my TOP list of absolutely favorites.

      They started out in the early 80’s in the L.A. area. They are a “Christian” Rock/Metal band. They put out a new album in 2005 and just a couple of months ago another new one, they weren’t so active for awhile, but are once again.

      I know about DST stuff, the sidebar thing there is an old script that runs automatically. I have to manually change the script, and just haven’t done so. Thus, it’s a people checker, do you read, can you compute information? You pass, Becky! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hope you are feeling better soon, don’t get too sick. That’s the part of Autumn/Winter I don’t like, how easily people pass illness on to others. Yuck.


  • Thinking through Windows 7 Upgrades

    I’m going over things trying to decide if I can put Windows 7 on my old laptop and on the Desktop computer. I know I can, I just am not sure yet if there are enough drivers for essentials of graphics & internet connectivity yet. My Desktop has been around for a long time, in…


  • Just Read Twilight

    I just read the book “Twilight”, finished it in the middle of the night, actually. I’ve had the books, all of the books currently in the series that are out, for quite some time, and just hadn’t picked them up to read. I actually have the movie on Blu-Ray, and haven’t watched it yet. What…


  • The house

    We got back from Costco a bit ago. There are things there that would make my house a bit better. A TV in the kitchen. A handmade Italian glass platter. Brother TAPE cartridges for my label machine. Just to name a few. Of course the TV issue is a DirecTV problem, having an old dish…


  • Event: Trying to get ready

    I have a wedding to go to on Saturday, one of my nephews who I haven’t seen since he was 2, I think that’s how long it is, maybe another time, but mostly it’s just through pictures I know him. At any rate, I don’t feel so good this week, things feel more behind than…
