[Weekend] In which I may be offline soon. Or not.

So my plan at the moment is that I may move Arkham West into Spare Oom later today (or tomorrow, depending on how much time I have) so we can set up Emm's new desk. The only downside to this is that I won't have internet access right away--I need to call our maintenance guy to see if he can wire up that back room (which, if I'm correct, would pretty much involve drilling a hole in the wall to the outside, a wire going up to the roof and connecting to the phone system up there...but I could be wrong). Any internet access will be achieved by commandeering Emm's old laptop for my own, as well as using that for writing as well. WAH days would still be achieved by way of plugging into the router, no change there.

Other than the connection issue, I still need to do some backing up of stuff on B3K here. I may need to hook up the new PC to the internet as well, just so I can download some of the programs I'd need or want to update before temporarily going offline. Mind you, I'm not wiping B3K's memory right away, so any info/programs/files can be moved over at any time. But I'd like to make sure MS Word is updated and I have my precious MediaMonkey mp3 player. :p

And on top of all of that, I still want to make sure I get some writing done. ;)


So yeah...if you don't hear from me right away, that's why.

Oh wait...that makes more sense, doesn't it? And other silliness!

So spending $25 at Best Buy for a Wireless Adapter instead of calling up the maintenance guy to set up a phone jack would actually make more sense.

Not that I want to spend even MORE money this weekend...! But dropping a twenty for something that will *hopefully* work rather than drilling a hole in a wall seems to be the lesser of two evils. ;)


Also: After Emm making fun of me for needing to expand my vocabulary and suggesting I get a word-a-day calendar, I actually found one for 30% off at Books Inc up the road. :p

So While I'm Here...

I'm jockeying between 2 PCs at the moment to make sure I can download everything, and it's kind of freaking me out how fast this new one is. Then again, I've never had a PC that has 6 gigs of RAM before, so everything is kinda going VOOOM! on me, the hard drive is a terabyte big, and the monitor is all kinds of huge and I feel like I'm swimming in it. It's overwhelming, I tells ya.

Seriously...doing all sorts of downloading of stuff at the moment, just to make sure I have all the programs I need, especially the ones that need downloading, such as Media Monkey, iTunes, Google Earth...you know, all the stuff that will keep me from actually getting anything done. ;)

Next post coming up soon, as I've been avoiding it--resolutions! :D
