I so hate dealing with computer problems!

Last month the laptop I use decided it needed a break and refused to work. I would turn it on and get this little blue screen that said something about memory dump etc and to call tech support. I tried to trouble shoot it a bit and realized that the C drive was still there but no way to fix the problem without reloading Windows. Wouldn't that have been great but no! There wasn't enough space on the computer to reload the software and I wasn't willing to lose any of my files (photos and such). With some guidance from Smariek, a little trip to CompUSA and the trusty desk top, I was able to rescue the files.

So I've slowly been getting the laptop back to what it used to be - first I reformatted, then installed the operating system, then video drivers, sbc/wireless, etc. etc. The computer is still downloading updates for something or the other. That was about 3 weeks ago.

As if that wasn't enough of a pain, blogger decided that I must upgrade to new blogger - which was harmless enough but they give you all these tempting features which required updating the template - that made a number of things disappear. Smariek helped me that again but it's not all right yet. Must admit I like the new blogger.

One of the annoying things with the new blogger is the center aligned text that came out of nowhere and won't alighn to the left. I think I've tried everything so I'll give up fixing that.

I guess I should update the template on cap-karma. Maybe this weekend.

Not much else going on, working, finished a cap a week or so ago, shown to the left. The pattern was by Smariek - it came out really nice. I have a hard time believing I knit it. I read a silly little book with short stories "A cat who had 14 tales".

Met up with Smariek for coffee a couple of Saturdays back. We always talk of getting together but don't. She gave me some very pretty dish clothes, much too nice to use! I love the ones with the cat and the cat paw. And the round swirl one is just so pretty.



The cat family is still working out their issues, not as bad as before but still working it out. There are some moments of harmony and improving every day. I noticed that through it all, Milo is the one that hasn't hissed but he sure is aggressive in his playing
