Never quite right.

.
.
I had a pretty good idea about what I wanted to do when I started on my friend's machine.  Unfortunately, that isn't how it works.  First of all, after spending a good bit of time trying to figure out how to configure, I came to the conclusion that you can't configure, as I had hoped to do, the "free trial download".  The free download, from what I can tell after having bought it, does... absolutely nothing.  Then, after buying it, and tinkering with how to activate it, I realized you can't activate it if the "free trial download" was still active.  So, finally, I uninstalled the "free trial software", got the purchased software downloaded and installed, then I found the functions I had been looking for and the setup page I had seen on videos.

I did search for how this was all supposed to be done, but there really wasn't anything on the web that I could find that suggested any of this.  No matter.  I did get it bought and installed.  But by then I was pretty much done for the day.  I think my friend was too.  Unfortunately, since I don't have it set up just so, he is going to have to figure out a few things on his own.  All over again.  So... I'm going to review some material here, then head back in, probably sometime this weekend.  I want to get it set up, but have a good enough handle on it that I can just show him what to do.  Oh, I did install Firefox, along with the add-ons that keep the ads from destroying YouTube, and actually much of the rest of the net these days.

I am zapped.  But then, I have been up since 1:00 this morning.  Yeah, things are a bit screwy, but... spring.  What else can I say?  I keep missing medicine, I keep trying to remember, sleep being off doesn't help.  Gah!

How I want to feel.


How I do feel.  Bleh.  Good night.

  3. Oh, if hit and miss on medicines is as bad as it gets in a spring change, after what I went through getting on meds and winter... I'll take it. And never you worry about me getting down south a bit this spring.

    A ruffian, a turd, a bastard, and eminently grumpiable, even so I am almost becoming... nearly reliable. I'll be there. This time, with as little as I honestly need to take, I could probably load up and be there in 14 hours total. At absolute worst, a day late, but I don't think so. The nice thing is, gas up will be from one pay period, gas back will be in another, if all else fails.

    (I've been a very good boy, and not used my c.c. in a very long time, just paying it off slowly, to make it my little pocket pistol for an all else fail situation. Actually, once paid off, I may use it for utilities once in a while, let it run for a few months, then pay it off, as a way of keep it charged, sort of.)

  4. Oh, right, but... yes. My lack of stability isn't willful, mind you. And, yes... I'll redouble my efforts. Urhm... right now! :)
