So yesterday I was all set to post, had picked out a couple of books even and was ready to roll when something Odd happened. The laptop is weirding out. It connects to the Internet, but then the browser can’t connect to any address. In Firefox, the word “Done” appears in the status bar and the page is otherwise blank. IE and Safari both display an “unknown error” message. My first thought since the problem was consistent across all three browsers was that it was problem a DNS problem on Earthlink’s end, but we logged in to Earthlink from the roommate’s computer and it loads all pages fine. The antivirus and AdAware can’t find anything, so we have not been able to fix it. Ron spent much of yesterday evening on the phone with his techy friend David, who is supposed to come over after work tonight (unless His boyfriend calls, in which case he will be over tomorrow) and David and Ron are talking about installing either Hackintosh or Linux in hopes of getting the laptop functional again, but who knows. Meanwhile, just a quick post from work and a reminder to give thanks if the puter you’re reading this on ain’t misbehaving.
