Grr and stuff… At home we get our dial-up service from Ameritech/Prodigy which merged with SBC and became Yahoo Dial, so they sent us new software to install to upgrade the account. The only thing that changed overall was the login id was now USER@prodigy.net instead of simply USER.

The thing that really pissed me off was that it forced you to install their browser (along with a bunch of other really fruity crap) to “update” the account. If you try to do this through I.E., it gives you an “unauthorized to view this page” error. Well, I got all that taken care of, uninstalled all the unnecessary crap, then realized that my e-mail account had to be updated as well. So I went through and reinstalled all that again just so I could check my email. Sheesh! That whole business had me so frustrated by the time I finished that I cried!!!! (It didn’t help much that I was in an emotional state to begin with, and the temperature and humidity were unbelievably high…) Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention the fact that my parents’ computer kept trying to steal my computer’s ip address…GAH!!!

So I did Tae Bo to vent my frustration and felt much better.

Our Best Buy is finally carrying Farscape DVDs…it’s about time. Tomorrow Volume 1 of Season 2 is coming out!!!!

Speaking of Best Buy, when I was cleaning my room on Saturday, I came across an ad I saved from Best Buy in 2000. Look closely at the computer screen: this PC is apparently running MacOS. Wonder what crack-head graphic artist thought they could get away with that one?

Really really busy at work this week…I have to convert a bazillion Word documents into HTML. Currently working on 1 of 2 Intranet sites for Miles Kimball.

My web host (and close friend) Jonathan is showing his true geekiness this week in St. Louis at Y.A.P.C. (Yet Another Perl Conference). He’ll get a chance to meet fellow geeks from around the world…and maybe they’ll even have light-up bouncy balls there too. *crosses fingers*
