And I’m up and running again! :)

Well, shall I say instead, my wireless internet is up and running again.

I got the part (my wireless internet card) late this morning by FedEx, which surprised me. The tech lady estimated it would come tomorrow and the internet tracking had said Friday. So that was quite nice, even if I did have to run outside and to the front of the house where the guy was knocking as he’d parked on the highway. Silly delivery men.

I put the part in and at first it didn’t work but when I opened it up and tried again it did. Then it took me a little bit to get connected again – it kept not finding my network. A few resets and a few restarts later, and it connected automatically.

This is good, I was going through withdrawl. I don’t know how I ever survived before a laptop – that desk chair down there is just killer on my back no matter how long or which way I sit. Five minutes, five hours, doesn’t matter, the result is the same: I become Chimpanzee Woman.

Either way, I’m glad it was this easy to fix, all I have to do now is locate a UPS store and send back the old/bad card. As for the fan, however… I just hope that problem goes away. :-D
