Late Friday Pussy - closed for repairs

They just can't keep things simple. About the time you get the hang of it some nerd has to come out with his latest and greatest upgrade that of course doesn't work any better than the last lame version. Only the last version was a bit more stable and definitely more familiar. So what do you do when your system tells you that you've gone to the end of your upgrade abilities and you can't afford a new box? Here however it's been a matter of connection. Everything starts out okay for a few minutes or even an hour or two in the morning then the magic wifi demons take over and it's off and on for hours on end. Go ahead Mr Computer Whiz try a restart, empty that cache, reset the browser preferences and don't forget the router. Just see what happens when you turn it off and back on. Nothing nada zilch. Those blinky lights are there only to keep an idiot in suspense. Did I just hear it quietly laugh at me when all the proper lights came back on? Guess I shouldn't have given those nerds a wedgie back in high school. This is their revenge.

What do you mean I'm not connected to the internet and the page I was looking for can not be found? I was there just a second ago and the earth didn't disappear. And speaking of disappearing no bank fails this week but that doesn't mean your savings didn't vaporize with the latest tax or price increase. I see gas is going down. All well and good if I had someplace important to go. Oh I get it they want you to be able to get to a job interview that is if there were any jobs. A cruel lot those powers that be.

I'm unable to leave a comment because my modem input is set at HDMI 1 and the auxiliary signal is only compatible with 480i 1. 404 Error.

My modem has thumped along just fine for five years now, with no upgrades. I don't have wi-fi here so dats cool.

Gas got down to 3 bucks here and I got an 80 cent a gallon discount shopping at Safeway so dat was cool also. It's up to 3.03 now.

Think I'll go camping on Monday.

It's damn sure good for some of us anyway, I figure that I've always lived well enough.

Don't see what was wrong with the telegraph. The interwebs just interrupts a beautiful nap.
