I can't remember life before it......Oh wait yes I can. Frustrating

Hah ... beyond the word frustrating. :\ Especially if you are a sys admin and have to find (and then download) those drivers that the previous sys admin put somewhere VERY carefully. Phooey. I am very grateful for a (sorta) high speed connection here at the office.

Hello everyone, by the way.

Hey Mycanid, you said you work with computer stuff right? At my university sometimes my connection is alittle slower than normal. I was told by one of the people who work on the network we use that the number of people on it can effect its speed, which makes sense. It is usually faster in the mornings then in the late afternoon and night, times of higher usage I guess. Anywho, is the guy I talked to right? We are on a high-speed connection, and I use an ethernet cable to connect to the net.

Hmm ... well Galeros it could be. Usually Universities have MAJOR high speed connections, but sometimes they limit the connections that dorms or specific places on campus have. It is to prevent 5% of the people on the campus using a major load of the bandwidth (or so I have been told by an acquaintance I spoke to who is a college IT). So I would say that the fellow you talked to is probably correct.

Thanks, I was just making sure. I have scanned for viruses, spyware, and other nasties and have come up with none, which is good.

It is not too bad of a slow down, I am just paranoid ever since I had problems with my last computer.

Yah ... not a problem to be extra careful with that sorta stuff.

Tell me about it. I do not let anyone else touch this computer.

I am currently beating my head against the wall to figure out how to export the contents of Thunderbird so that someone can pull it into Microsoft Outlook. Phooey. It is involved....

On the other hand ... it is a BEAUTIFUL day today. We had a bunch o rain for several days. ANd it snowed higher up ... oh, say 7000 feet or so. Good enough. But we still need more....

The birds seem to be returning en masse of late. Especially the chickadees. Other day I heard a bird singing away in the morning that sounded like mechanical gears spinning at high rpm's, although alternating between three distinct pitches. It was strange.

 

[Mycanid]

ah HA! Got it!

Let's here it for IMAPSize!

Boy ... was that tedious. But it is there at least.

Whew.

I need a soda.... [ambles off to the fridge]
