Modem Woes

Sorry kids, if you haven't been reading any of the related blogs, then you might not have known that my modem got fried last week. I got a new one, but it came with incompatible drivers and even though I've since received the correct ones, I can't burn them to disk here at the library, so I'm stuck until I figure out a way to get them downloaded and installed.

Luckily, I'm getting the old 98 box back either today or tomorrow and then I can take care of everything that way. Of course, it may still take a little troubleshooting to get exactly right, but rest assured, we'll be back to regular in no time.

I know I haven't been spending as much time here as I normally did on the old blog, but it's simply because there's been so much going on IRL the last 3-4 months. In fact, I am preparing to go on a vacation in a month or two (just before it gets really hot in the summer) and it'll be the first vacation I've taken... well, pretty much ever (I mean since I was a kid, you know). It still remains to be seen as to whether or not I can actually afford it and there's been a lot of other turmoil here and there with bounced checks, fried modems, missing payments, and so forth, which has really kind of killed my will to write at all, about anything.

At any rate, I am still working and have actually put together some interesting pieces I plan to post as soon as everything gets back to what passes for normal around here.
