I apologize…
…for the two week absence and lack of new posts.
I have been having major technical difficulties. Two weeks ago, my computer suffered a complete meltdown. I was hoping for a simple software fix, but that was not to be. After I installed a new OS (operating system) and updating drivers, I still could not access the internet.
Then I replaced the modem and cables, did the drivers thing again, and still no internet. After going over everything with my ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) tech support guy we had it narrowed down to an internal hardware problem.
I’m not all that knowledgeable about the internal working of a pc, so I called a friend to come check it out for me. Turns out that the ethernet and USB ports on my pc’s motherboard are fried, hence no connection to the modem and no internet.
I finally had the money to go pick up an ethernet card that plugs in to the motherboard. I have internet access again, yay!
The only downside? I lost about two years worth of saved emails, documents, bookmarks, and passwords.
Nothing like starting from scratch to make you appreciate backups. Wish I was disciplined enough to do it on a regular basis, maybe I wouldn’t be out two years worth of stuff.
