Ramblings, rumblings, grumblings, and rambling grumbly rumblings.

You know that drudgery thing I posted about last time? Today, the drudgery is going to suck. It will probably suck the rest of the week. I'm guessing that suckage will last into next week.

At work, I found my main monitor on its back, toes curled, and eyes reduced to little X's, metaphorically speaking. The tech support fairy dropped a house on it. Something.

I grabbed The Spare, a relatively tiny monitor and put it in its place. I have a better view of the hallway now, but my workspace is much reduced.

I'm keeping the tylenol and the eyedrops close.  I have no doubt it will be replaced - hopefully by a ViewSonic or a KDS. We've had bad luck with Dells and Samsungs.

The Spare is a Samsung.

It took till friggin' 1:30 this morning (okay, so I started at midnight) but the DSL modem is connected and functioning.  My router was even so kind as to inform DynDNS of the change, so I can still RDP to home without having to know my IP address.  Yea.

( Skip-able stuff. )

Had a wonderful dinner (buffalo burgers, smoked; garlic-rosemary oven potatoes; home-made applesauce) and visit with glesyn last night.  More more more!  Kate, next time we're coming to you...and I'm bringing my tools!


* For the record, I was connected with the ComCast modem, looking for the registration information for my DSL account to plug into my router.  Next time, I'll just let them send me the installation CD...not that I'll use it, but it comes with the registration info.
