Issues...
Mood:

Gd fucking damn it. I've been having NOTHING but problems the moment I woke up. I swear what a fucked up day. One thing Red and I forgot to check: Will that fucking Microsoft shitty mouse/keyboard work when the computer went into hibernate... of course not!

I'm so fucking pissed off. We have to phone them now and find out what the HELL is wrong because it makes absolutely no sense why it would stop working. Then to make things worse I had to go in and reinstall everything to get it back up and runnin, I left my USB mouse at Red's house! I mean seriously, what a fucked up start to my morning. So it took me until past 11 just to get this stuff WORKING! I'm so pissed off.

Basically if we can't figure this shit out then obviously there is no point me having this set because every time my comp goes to hibernate this could potentially happen and I just don't want to deal with it. Obviously Bluetooth is supposed to be ultra secure but it's fucking TOO secure, so much so that it barely WORKS when something fucking happens, and if you were meant to leave this shit alone at your desk strapped to your normal comp then what the FUCK do you need WIRELESS for!??? And if it's meant for a fucking laptop then why the fuck ISN'T IT WORKING???

Oh and then don't even get me started on the e-mail problems...

I'm really starting to hate technology right now *fucking arg*.

1:46 p.m.

Jezz what a mess! I'd hate to be under my desk right now except I JUST crawled out of there trying to re-arrange all the cables, tie them up. It was SUCH a huge ass mess in there for the longest time that I actually found an extra power cable plugged in for no reason. I need to go to Staples this weekend and pick up an AC adapter power bar with 8 outlets. They cost a fortune and they're huge but at least you don't end up wasting outlets because as soon as you plug in an AC adapter to a regular power bar you end up killing 2 other outlets cuz the damn thing is so big!

I currently have 2 power bars, one of which has 7 outlets but only 4 things plugged in. Oh well, at least I know which cord belongs to what thing now, and I managed to kill the server in the process. I can't wait to get my shelf and extra cables, then the server goes into the closet, the printer will get connected to it and there will be a power bar behind the TV stand to plug the printer and comp into that. Then my VCR, XBox, router, modem and phone will all go into the new shelving system I'm planning to install and then hide the cables. I hope to have a ton more room this way.

My mom's comp is almost done too, we need to order the monitor sometime soon. Red and I found this insane 17 inch, widescreen LCD within my mom's price range. I'm drooling over it but we found 2 so I need to get my mom to decide which one she wants. Damn I love LCD's. At least she gets a pretty powerful comp though which is good.

And my wireless network works all the way in the back of the yard, which is pretty nuts actually. I NEVER expected it to be able to go that far. Talk about great range.

3:24 p.m.

Ok. Two issues down, one more to go: Will this mouse and keyboard still work tomorrow? Damn... I noticed I've been writing about nothing BUT all these technical issues lately. My journal must be boring as all hell but if you spend an entire day trying to get stuff to work so you can DO work, yup, it pretty much consumes your thoughts. On the upside, I think I'm going to get out of my room and do stuff on the deck. I need some fresh air. Oh well, it's Matrix time (and arms time)! Hehehe.
