DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!!!! My printer has been working beautifully for the last 6 hours or so, and now all of a sudden I'm getting the damn "cyclic redundancy check" error again!!! WHY ME?!?!!

I'm going to bed. Screw printing the rest of my physics notes.

Ok, damn it, I need help from the computer savvy out there. Here's the million dollar question: Can I connect two computers to the internet through a DSL modem using just a router or do I have to also purchase a hub? I'm well aware that I have to establish some kind of network, but I'm just talking hardware here.

That stupid ass SoBig.F virus has latched onto my public email address. I think one of the computers I used on campus to check my email had the thing, and it started using my email to send the damn virus out. I've gotten at least 30 copies of it back to my email after other people opened it on their PCs. I'm about 85% sure I didn't open the file and infect the computer myself, because it looks a lot like spam. I don't read spam. I delete it.

It looks like the big blackout affected my life in one way afterall. Iowa State University gets its Stafford loans and pell grants from NYC, and the money was supposed to be wired here on Friday night. I don't think anything got wired out of anywhere in New England Friday, so naturally, there's a delay. Looks like I'm buying my textbooks with my credit card...

Everybody go to Google Search right now. Type in "weapons of mass destruction" and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. You'll get an error message, but I want you to read the error message.

No, I didn't get eaten by coyotes. Dial up internet just sucks ass.

You guys haven't missed any major action going on in my life anyway. In about two weeks, I'm leaving for about three weeks to help out with my grandparents' wheat harvest, and I will be COMPLETELY without anything resembling internet. So yeah, that's just so you know what I'm up to.

I'm in a downloading frenzy right now since I'm losing my cable modem May 31. Quick, give me a BIG list of songs to download!

Is anyone else having problems with Tripod? I've been trying to uploads some pictures, but it's being a pain in the ass. If it's not working by tonight, I'm switching to a different image host.

I need to go buy a battery for my camera and watch. Once I get my camera up and going, I'm going to start posting all kinds of pictures. In fact, I might as well just start a little webpage to post all my pictures on. Wheee! Project!

I am never EVER eating Spaghetti-O's with Franks ever ever again. In fact, I think it has turned me off to Spaghetti-O's in general, which is a sad, sad realization. Was that processed meat or ground up rubber from bouncy balls? Ick.

WinMX sucks ass, but it doesn't have spyware or a lawsuit. I can't express enough how much I miss Kazaa. I've been downloading Silence by Delerium and Sarah MacLachlan for at least four hours now...and it's still at 4 fucking percent.

The smell of those Spaghetti-O's are still in the room. I think I'm going to be sick.

"Your buddy list and buddy icon are not available currently, but they have not been lost. Please try again later."

Everyone better start making drafts of my eulogy, because I just died of a heart attack. I've tried to reboot AIM four times now and I keep getting the same message.

...Better make it a stroke, too.

I need some help finding a good wallpaper for my desktop. I can't find any good sites. I'm looking for nature-thunderstorm-type stuff. Any suggestions?

Addicting song of the moment: Tatu-Running Through My Head

WinMX is a royal pain in the ass. I don't know how get ANYTHING downloaded off that site without waiting a week. So, for the moment, I'm back on Kazaa unless something better comes along.

I'm so frustrated right now that I could rip all my hair out. I've tried TWICE now to download LOTR: The Two Towers on Kazaa. That's about 3 hours of waiting, mind you. Even though the integrity said they were excellent, they both were fucking ZOOLANDER! What the hell am I supposed to do with that?! I've had it with downloading movies off of Kazaa. I'll just go see it in theater thanks. The quality's better anyway.

I HAVE THE INTERNET IN MY DORM ROOM!!!!!

There's only one thing I have to say about Ethernet...

WHOOSH...
miraje: (Default)
My new computer kicks ass!!! I can't wait to get it hooked up to the ethernet and see how fast it is. It took less than two seconds for it to burn a 3 MB song file to a CD. That's pretty damn fast. I'm having way too much fun with it. :)

I don't wanna go back tomorrow!!!! I have a 6 page paper to write about the creationism vs. evolution debate, and it's due Friday. I haven't even started on it yet. Why me?

I'm home!!!! God it feels good to be here. No school, no stress, no worries.

I got a good look at my new computer, too. It's really nice. I can't wait to get it set up when I get back.

I'll update with more later. Have a good Thanksgiving break everyone!!

Do you ever wonder if in some twisted act of revenge, all those SPAM lists that you send unsubscribe requests to run off and sign you up for every other list they can find? It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

I'M GETTING A COMPUTER!!!! Do you have ANY idea how excited I am about this?! I just have to wait until I go home for Thanksgiving. I'M SO HAPPY!!!

I'm moved in! Everything's unpacked and set up. Unfortunately, I found out yesterday that my hall doesn't have a computer lab, so I'm stuck going to a different hall to check my email and update my journal. AKA, less internet time.

Rawbery, I'm sorry I didn't stop in and see you Tuesday like I said I would. Putting together a loft and a futon takes longer than I originally thought. I will stop in soon, I promise.
