I had to reset my laptop.

Today, I had to reset my laptop, because I had forgotten the password for it. Thankfully, I had not stored any important data on it. Resetting it did not take long, nor re-enabling full desktop mode again.

Under a week until I get satellite internet!

It is finally under a week until I get satellite internet! I am so pleased to be finally getting it, and that the fact that my dad will be paying half the cost back to me for getting it! I think I will also be able to take a good swipe at my debt as well come Monday.

I installed a wireless network yesterday.

Yesterday, I installed a wireless network at home. It was easy to do, and good for when I get satellite internet. I will be able to share it with all operating systems and computers in the house. I will finally be able to make my Ubuntu installation do what I want it to do as well.

I can use my connection again!

Well, I can use my connection again! After failing to do it via removal and re installation of the driver for the modem, a System Restore to the way the computer was on July 4th did the trick! It is so nice to able to surf the web from my own PC!

Got a weird problem on my computer!

I have an unusual problem on my main computer: I can connect to the web, but I cannot do anything web-related once I am connected. I have tried everything I can think of, and so far nothing has worked! If you think you have a solution to this problem, please contact me or leave a comment!

Need a soundcard?

Do you need a sound card for your computer? Well, I’m auctioning one here. You must be registered and logged-in in order to post a bid. Here’s a picture of it:

In other news, if AdultFunPlace.org doesn’t get busy in a month, I will terminate the site and get rid of that hosting (including offering adult blog hosting at Joffee Publishing).

Apparently, it’s harder to get a USB modem working than it looks…

Well, my new laptop still doesn’t have internet access at home. It’s apparently harder to get a USB modem working with Linux than what it appears to be. On the subject of internet access, I think I will wait to move to town where I can get DSL before I get high-speed. Why? Satellite internet companies limit what sites you can go to, while companies that offer DSL (and dial-up) do not. Just means that if I can’t get a USB modem working with my laptop, it’ll be on WIFI internet only until I move into town and get DSL.

I tried getting a reseller account for JP today, but it didn’t have enough room for all my sites! How could I offer customers space, when there wasn’t enough for my own sites? I could not!

Just a quick post…

Yesterday, I got myself a new laptop. I got the Asus Eee Notebook PC. It has a solid state hard drive, and it is very portable, being so small (less than 5 lbs!). It runs Linux, and the games and applications on it are excellent to use!

Today, I’m going to see if a friend’s US Robotics USB modem works with my laptop. If so, then I’ll be able to go online at home with it. If not, then I’ll only be able to go online in town when I’m near a WIFI hot spot. I’m also going to unlock full desktop mode on it, so I can install more programs on it.
