Not much has been said in my LJ recently. Had a lot of short mini-blog entries in my Facebook. That's how I'll divide my posts in the future --short items go into FB; longer items go into LJ.
Anyway.....the good news is that I finally got DSL yesterday. The bad news is that I had to give up my Cincinnati Bell local and long distance service -- and my fuse.net email account -- and switch them over to AT&T in order for me to get DSL from AT&T. And part of the "fun" was running the gauntlet of customer support from both companies.
Been spending lots of time futzing away at the computers. I did lots of software updating yesterday. And I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10, which just came out. Anyone want/need a copy burned on CD?
I also discovered a problem with my laptop. It's getting a memory error and reducing the amount of usable memory from 512 Mb to 256 Mb, slowing down the system. The memory checks out fine per the Memtest86+ test. I think a socket needs repairing.
