Proud

I am extraordinarly proud of myself and my dealings with computers these days.

Firstly XP Service Pack 3 fried Nick's computer - it's a good thing we have nearly half a dozen computers in our house so I can do internet research on a working computer for a broken computer. After many hours and many retarded reboots - I was successfully able to uninstall SP3 and the spyware program that caused the major malfunction that I like to call XP.

Second - Jesse got a new computer and after he got it up and running, it took the liberty of screwing up our wireless network. It was pretty awesome. We went from having a fully-functional and secure wireless network to having an insecure wireless network that only his computer could access consistently. Again it's a good thing that one of the nearly half a dozen computers was able to work right. After many hours and 60+ pages of instructions and reboots and additional retardation, we now have a secure fully-functional wireless network again.

Oh also we now have 3 cameras again. Do you know how naked I felt without the extra two cameras for 4 months!? Rediculous I know... but I have the big fancy one for practicing to be a professional (i know... pipe dreams), but that one doesn't stuff into a purse for a night at the bar or for Tour de Fat. Also - Nick needs his own. He works in beautiful areas all day - everyday. And really - I'm just too uptight to share with him. And I was rearended and able to use the insurance check to pay for new cameras - and my vehicle registration. The damage is soooo insignificant that you can't see it and when I go to get rid of the car in a decade or so - it won't matter if there's an invisible scratch or not - it will not affect the value of the car... so I chose to spend the dollars on stuff we wanted (cameras) and needed (legal tags on my car).
