OK Computer

Today has been the day of computer headaches.

This morning, when I was formatting some tifs on Photoshop into gifs for my website, my Zip drive crashed. I tried restarting the computer over and over and inserting Zip disks to no avail. It works now but it’s irritating it took being away from my computer all day for it to be ok.

I went to my mother’s house in the afternoon to install the DSL modem & software on her computer. Everything went ok but the computer crashed after everything was in place. It has had a nasty habit of crashing for the past 8 months within minutes of the computer being online. In order to install the DSL modem, I had to enable some networking software. When I enabled it, I thought the problems would be gone. After the computer restarted after installation, it crashed after it went online. It crashed a few times after that. I now suspect it’s Windows is not reading the internet program very well. The crash has occured sometime after a friend of my mother’s installed a version of Windows to allow for Japanese input. Since I’m not a computer expert, it’s only a theory and it has me banging my head.

After that, I went to the YMCA in Mission Valley to work out. I haven’t worked out in two weeks and exercizing can really kick your ass if you’re out of the loop for a certain period of time. So now I want to get back into the swing of things. After the workout, I had a nice relaxing swim like last night.
