Entries this day: pixels pixels 30 September 1998 Things are going pretty great lately. Just last night, after 2 weeks of using my display at 640x480 pixels and 16 colors, Thomas was able to come over and fix it. I needed a PCIIX driver and a S3 Virge/DX driver and I just didn't have the expertise to get everything set. But now it's 1024x768 and 24 bit color and it's great!!! I'm actually pleased with Windows right about now. I was able to easily scan pictures and maps and get some cash flow via MR Laboratories I don't know if I mentioned, but I opened a business account and my first check was to Office Max to purchase office supplies: pens, paper, envelopes, a ZIP disk rack, and file folders.
I have moved my computer into my living room; it had been in my bedroom, and I love it. Oh! and that's a story in itself: I wanted to move my computer, but the phone line for the modem only reached to my bedroom. It hadn't been strung to the living room. So I recognized I needed some phone wire and within 5 minutes, I heard the unmistakable warble of a telephone repair guy downstairs testing phone lines. Holy cow! So I ran downstairs and described my delimma. He said he couldn't wire it for me, but he could give me 40 feet of phone line! Fabulous! So that night I connected the line to the jack in my bedroom, strung it outside between the bedroom and living room windows, and connected it to a jack in the living room. Really. And it works perfectly! I'm using it ri NO CARRIERpermalink prev day next day |
