Sorry I have been gone so long. I have two new clients for my website business, for a total of 3 websites. I’m so overwhelmed that I just couldn’t wake up today, and should have spent the whole day (and yesterday) working. <\/p>\n
My excuse yesterday was that I took some of these ill-gotten gains and ordered DSL, so I can work faster, and had to take the check to the bank, discuss some issues with them, and then found my DSL setup package got here already… had a couple issues installing it. <\/p>\n
First, my computer did not have the driver software for my Ethernet port, and I didn’t have an extra USB port… so I had to find the driver. Not easy to do… but eMachines LiveSupport gave me the model of the motherboard and I found that all the drivers were available on that site — if you used the right number. <\/p>\n
Got that installed… and my CD-RW stopped working. I’ve been having that problem lately, and it seems to be caused by my P2P programs, which means (sigh) I’m going to have to give up stealing music.<\/p>\n
So then my computer is working fine, and I go to install the DSL stuff. Had to crawl around on the floor a few times, got everything set up… and it didn’t work.<\/p>\n
After a call with a nice man in the Phillippines (hardly any accent at all), I discovered that it was the dreaded User Error… the DSL filter was plugged into the phone jack just fine, but I plugged the DSL line into the jack marked “Phone” instead of the one marked “DSL”. Fixing that solved the problem.<\/p>\n
But today, as stated, I ‘m exhausted. I should be working. Oh well, when I get back to working, a lot of things will go faster — uploads and downloads, checking the website to see how it worked, etc.<\/p>\n
I’m starting to pack for the weekend, going to SerpentStone Litha Gather in Eastern TN.<\/p>\n
Hugs,
Me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
