Computer back, back to work
I got my desktop computer back the other day and after some confusion on the HP tech dudes not having completed the setup, something a nice lady at the HP support center helped me finish over the phone, I have got the computer back up and running and have been spending my time getting it reorganized so that I can work on it again.
I have about half the programs reloaded, but am hitting the annoying block of the new version of AIM won’t work with the comptuer. I got an older version to work on it, so I will try agian to get the new one to work and if that fails I am just going to load the older version up and forget their new one. They usually mess up their new versions anyway. Last time they updated it I lost the ability to directly connect with my writing buddies, removing the ability to pass our novel-length writing back and fort, which made AIM all but useless to us.
Other than AIM I have my writing program back on the computer, still need to move the novel from the laptop back to the desktop though, and I have to get my image program (GIMP) back up and working on here. I know there are more programs I need to get up and going, but I’ll be happy with them between now and the weekend – oh, and iTunes and Audacity, I need to catch up on the writing podcasts I have missed.
