Aug. 2nd, 2007 12:03 amI am currently talking to my brother on MSN. We are in the SAME ROOM. How ridiculous is that?
Computers hate me today, incidently. I exchanged my copy of Pets for the last copy Walmart had. I got home and tried to install it only to discover it had the same "Disc 2 is actually Happy Holiday Stuff" problem as before. So I decided to email EA's customer support about the fact that obviously an entire shipment was borked. Except Firefox wouldn't work. And neither would evil nasty bad IE.
So I emailed them from my mother's computer and wrestled with my connection for a while. Didn't get connected, played Sims. Had supper, wrestled with connection, didn't get connected, played Sims. WRestled with connection, didn't get connected, was summoned to go fix my mother's connection. Except nothing was actually WRONG with her connection, I'd just logged her out so I could send my email and she'd bookmarked the wrong URL and therefore got gibberish and didn't think to look at the URL. She didn't care about MY connection problems once I'd fixed her "problem" even though SHE'S the one who set up the network and therefore is probably better equipped to fix my problem. Wrestled with my connection more. Did a system restore.
Internet Explorer now works. Firefox still doesn't. IE is icky bad yucky, reinstalled Firefox. Firefox still doesn't work.
So now I'm trying out Opera because Firefox doesn't work and IE is evil. :p
BUT we're going to the wedding tomorrow and that will be happiness. :D
