Irritating my ISP :) ah the memories

Well I have been scarce the last couple of days from the online world in any size-shape-form, my home internet access has been horrible lately - but yet, as one tech support person said “Have you worked here before?!” as I was giving tons and tons of diagnostic information as internet tech is one of those things I tend to diagnose a bit - so when its down hard, I am living on GPRS (thank God it’s unlimited!) - but the bandwidth on my GPRS is soooo limited, 28-33.6k modem at best, but hey - it’s better than nothing, and allows me to SSH.

The LCD vs. Phone delima - the winner? Oh I give in, I think in like 30 minutes (granting I am still awake & the internet is online) I am going to snag the 2nd LCD for the desk, and the Treo650 - granted its gonna all go on credit, but Newegg is now offering 90 same as cash, so I can break it into 3 payments over the 90 days - which makes it a breeze to pay as I have some consulting gigs and projects which should have payment to me within that time - so paying off the total should be easy.

Worked this morning on Rosie’s computer - got it all in the case, mobo lined up, runnin smooth at 1.4.ghz with 768mb of DDR333 ram - lil AGP card in there, KyroII chipset from Hercules - but all in all, it’s shaping up to be a awesome little rig, just need to get Windows and Office on there for her, going to check with Dan what he can get me educational wise for pricing since she’s a student, get her some legit & affordable software, or she can have my copy of Works 2005 that came with my laptop as I uninstalled it since I own Office Basic - ah the joys of Microsoft.

Anywhoo - with only 3hrs of sleep (i think it was more like 1 1/2hrs) under my belt, I am still pushing myself this morning to keep functioning - but its gonna be a stretch as I am hungry and food tends to invite a touch of sleepiness. So hopefully the ISP doesn’t call and wake me up! (but I secretly wish they would) Well food here I come, and possibly a powernap.
