Ok, second attempt to write this message, rahhh!!

Having real problems with my router and this has been happening now for a few days. My signal just disappears for no reason and the system tries to connect me to someone else's router, doesn't matter whose, anyone which is available at the time. This is really annoying, I start my OU course on the 31st and cannot keep getting disconnected all the time. I've contacted customer services for my ISP on line and also this morning on the phone, I was told the connection is fine, but there is a problem between the computer and the router :!: :?: I need to connect the cable between the computer and the router in order for them to check it, however I have lost the fooking cable. I am so annoyed, I don't know what to do, short of throwing the whole thing through the window, but I can't because I need this computer for my course as it has the better memory of the two I have.

So annoying, I hate fecking computers, I hate wireless router signals that butt in on mine. Rahhhhhhh!!!!

Both of my neighbours have unsecured wireless routers that leak into my house and if I can't be arsed to get my internet connected I use theirs, if they want me to stop doing this, I'll happily hire out my IT skills to secure their networks. You could do the same?

Heather I sympathise! My dongle is always acting the goat and the USB ports are being abnormally fickle despite removing and reinstalling the software. I have to put the eejit dongle in one port; wait a few seconds and remove and quickly transfer it into another port (say my prayers) and click on the actual dongle software.

I can't figure out the SAS code for an assignment in my multilevel modeling course (what's that? I HAVE NO IDEA!). :cry:

Nope, all the ones coming through are secured barr one and the system won't let me connect to it!!

Anyway, since about 15 minutes after I put in my first post, everything has been working fine again, makes me think there were problems with my ISP, maybe speaking too soon, we'll see. :?

Ah, you see, if your computer's playing up, if you threaten it with violence [or whisper that you might replace it], it will usually fall into line and start behaving itself. That's generally my best solution. Mine has died on me a couple of times recently. This is not good.

No still doing it, was wrong, not as much though, the worst offender is the person with the BT Home Hub it seems, think I'll find out who it is and go and smash it to pieces. :twisted:

I'm sick of people getting excited for Christmas in freakin' October. It's not even Halloween yet and there are commercials on TV for a local plastic Christmas tree emporium. Last year I saw several houses who had their lights up by the first of November. It's enough to make one start a barely legal police force that would target such people. Middle aged couple with the inflatable Santa that's up before Thanksgiving, this means YOU.

Yeah...I agree. Kinda ruins it a bit. I don't shop for Christmas till it's nearly upon me.
Plastic Christmas Tree Emporiums; Ach a fi! Definitely gauche.

Oh god....I feel a rant coming on....and it's full of F's...

Post Sat Oct 24, 2009 9:55 pm

Alright....here we go.

I have an issue with people at work who insist on looking over my fecking shoulder to see what I am or am not (more so of the not) doing. Not my boss mind you..no...he doesn't give a shit. I do my job, I do it good, I get everything done....so he doesn't care what else I do. No it's those sneaky little fuckers (I am THEIR supervisor) who come up behind you and go "whhattchaaa doiiiinnnnn?". To which I want to reply "none of your god damn business". But I don't. SERIOUSLY...BUGGER OFF!

Also, the gimps who come in and like to comment on "oohhhh haven't you got a lot of windows open?"...."YES I FUCKING HAVE YOU NOSY CUNT". Just because I can do more than one thing at a time...because my work laptop is as big as an air craft carrier, and packed to the bring with RAM and other goodies.
That's because I know how to use it so get lost you gimp! But still why would they care! I never think twice about what anyone else is doing at work, or out of work! No. Don't give a crap, so why do they care about what I'm up to??

Ohhhhh that felt really goood. Thank you for allowing me to moan. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I don't shop till later too, but it's due to procrastination more than anything else.
Personally, I have nothing against fake trees, just when they're advertised in October. My family's had one for years now. It was a one time $100 purchase as opposed to $60+ every year, there aren't nearly as many needles to clean up and you don't have to worry about it catching on fire (as much).
