correctiveshoes621Oy. Long time, no see. A whole lotta walking backwards and next-to-nothin', goin' on, here.
Still with the pc frustration. Two mouses later and I can't get it to recognize the keyboard or either mouse (one is even an old-timey one with the circular port) - - cannot get it off the DOS page. Since the pc is not 'started up' it cannot recognize 'new hardware' - - so, it's goodbye to my brief time of..enjoying media, I guess. Dammit. Had a boffo ratio, too.
Much thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rickysbaby, for her numerous suggestions.
I hate to spend the money for a kb with the old-timey circular port, but - doods. I can get - get a load of this - I CAN GET TO THE POINT WHERE THEY COULD EMAIL ME A NEW PASSWORD *but* the mailing email saved to the site is still a LAVABIT one - and Edward Snowden got that shut down..So they can't even email me a new password...UNTIL I CAN GET ON AND CHANGE THE EMAIL..I was hoping that buying the old-timey mouse would get me on enough to use even the onscreen keyboard, but, alas.
So, there's that. And I have a writing challenge that is gathering dust, as we speak - - so I'd BEST get USED to this infuriating laptop keyboard, I guess. LOL.
Thankfully, there's - http://watchseries.lt/tvschedule/-1 and http://putlocker.bz/ - - though I've lost tons. At least I can watch a few things.
Also. If I can make it long enough at work - - there's this. I just may call off, for it...

Date: 2014-05-25 02:13 pm (UTC)On the up side, once you get used to the laptop keyboard you may wonder why you ever used a mouse (I've had a laptop for 8 years and have never used a mouse with it). But then maybe you have applications that need one. :(
That lecture series sounds fun! You're not so far from DC, are you? Have you been to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum before? Plan to spend the day - it is amazing!!
All the best with your PC woes...I hope something works out soon. And hey, blame the NSA for the site shut-down, not my personal hero, Edward Snowden, 'kay? :)
