Solar Flares

Thats my excuse and I am sticking to it, Solar Flares that is.

Started off as one of those days yesterday and never got much better. First, unable to connect to the net at Starbucks in the morning. Thats my peaceful time every day, I check and answer most of my emails, surf, learn or what ever over my daily coffee. When I cant get hooked up I get cranky.... Thought it was a ATT connection problem with there hot spot, but turns out it was a puter issue. Not sure actually what was going on, I had logged onto this computer mid day the day before to register my design software so I could pull up some design work. No problems at the fab shop, worked just fine. Next morning, nada.... All I can think is either 1) Solar flares 2) some sort of virus, glitch or something when I logged into the hot spot.

So I spent most of the evening screwing with this computer. Now, the FIRST thing I tell people when they are having troubles is STAY OFF THE PORN SITES and you wont have issues. Well, I can honestly say THIS computer doesnt see those sites, this is the business computer.

So, what to do..... Did a system restore and that fixed the problem, updated Vista (crap compared to 7) Slapped the Ubuntu disk in and almost stuck in on the puter as a dual OS, and may still. Have a Win 7 disk and prod key free, really really should put 7 on it, but that leads to software issues. I typically run 1 version back of my design software, just becasue Autodesk products NEVER work right on the latest releases. Running 2009, but 2010 is out. Always, always bugs with the latest and greatest. SO, not sure if 2009 runs on 7, Autodesks site is a bit unclear on if it does or doesnt. SO..... I cant install a os that blows my money maker up, which is also why I dont go surfing on this puter much, no bugs, virus's or goofy programs that mess with the video drivers. Still not sure what I am going to do on this system...

Then Joseph and I get the new released Harry Potter in Blue Ray. FINALLY sit down to watch it at 8pm last night in the theater room on the PS3. PS3 tells us we gotta update the software to watch the movie, WTF! SO that turns into a issue.... PS3 doesnt want to connect to the server either wireless or wired, ended up d/l'd it on a flash drive and installing the update that route. All to watch 45 minutes of the movie before Joseph decides he was bored (almost 10pm) which was fine I was tired.

On top of all that I have a banking screw up on MY part..... Damn.

Must have been the solar flares. Lets hope there better today, so far so good.
