the desktop computer has been a bit grumpy for quite some time…

a month ago or so it just stopped working… I thought maybe it was the fan as I didn’t seem to be hearing any noise from it, so I turned it off and left it alone, lol…

recently my housemate discovered that it wasn’t working and checked on it…

of course it started up without a problem… it is like it knows someone who understands something is there so it behaves itself… but it was working very slowly…

next, I contacted my computer geek son-in-law to climb in and see what the problem was…

he got in there, looked around, and while he was looking it started to work at an excellent speed, sigh…

next, I will work on it for a while and see how it behaves…

spent time today with my tech specialist as they worked on a few problems with my main computer…

technology is always a wonderful thing when it is working and a pain in the butt when it isn’t…

took us a while, but eventually we were able to get everything on the list tended to…

some of the issues revolved around the way I enter some apps…

now I have to remember the new ways, lol… wish me luck…

today I had some computer fun…

I was watching a program on TV and they were talking about better ergonomics while at home… one suggestion was to use something under your laptop to raise it to eye level which made sense, except typing would be a problem, lol… after a bit of testing, I discovered that three of my resource books have produced what might be the perfect height…

the second recommendation was to plug in a keyboard, duh… I dug one out and plugged it in and am so happy with the more traditional keyboard which I am used to… remembering a dear colleague, I found an elastic and wrapped up the extra cord behind the laptop… she would be proud:-)…

I’ve also been having constant issues with my internet connection… mainly on the laptop… I figured out the program that seemed to be stopping my connection and set up a phone call with my son-in-law (the computer geek) to get his input… it had something to do with VPN, and although I did research, it was still too confusing for me to go ahead and do something on my own…

after less than five minutes with him, I had uninstalled the problematic piece of software and it looks like everything is working beautifully… yay…

always a good day when the technology works or is improved!
