Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
I’m in the process of registering for a class at BCIT in January. You’d think I’ve never done the whole “online shopping” or “course registration” thing before. I’m a complete retard about it all. Of course, it’s a little more complicated than usual, because I need to pick up a cheque next week to pay … Continue reading Retards to the Left
I’ve been really getting used to typing on the laptop at home. At first it was frustrating, since I have exactly the same ergonomic keyboard at work as on the (still broken) desktop at home, and I would keep overshooting and jamming the keys on the laptop. Now I seem to have the opposite problem. … Continue reading Dancing Fingers
I am now thoroughly and utterly distraught. I’m posting this from my roommate’s computer, since I am an idiot, and broke the stupid ethernet dongle off IN THE FUCKING CARD on my laptop. I am obviously an idiot. So now I have one computer that doesn’t work at all, and another that can’t connect to … Continue reading *sob*
Last weekend was not a good computer weekend for me. Meaning I blew the power supply on my desktop. At least, we’re hoping it’s the power supply. If it’s the motherboard, I will cry.

Yay! I am about to enter the world of extended sloth!
I just won a laptop in today’s raffle at work – I’m totally going to do everything from bed now.
Anyone have recommendations for a wireless network solution? I’ve got two computers that need to be hardwired into the hub (because I am lazy and too cheap to upgrade them to wireless), and now this laptop that I’d like to have wireless. Also, bonus points if anyone can point me towards a “network for dummies” so I can use my existing computer as some sort of server in order to access the same content on both machines. Is that even possible?
Specs after the jump.
*squee!*

You know you’ve been a student too long when you are willing to drink old, stale, and/or cold coffee – and have even built up enough of a tolerance to it that you can call it “not bad.” Also, I need a really basic online portfolio page where I can post my resume and some … Continue reading Caffeinated
I suck. For everyone who received a stupid stupid e-mail from me, I’m sorry. Apparently I’m the only other one who missed the memo about the hoax e-mail going around. The part that sucks even more, is that just after I sent this out, I got an e-mail warning me of the damn hoax. Couldn’t … Continue reading I’M SO SORRY!!!
