Ouch…

And what a week it’s been…let’s see…
The week started off with my MacBook getting a free trip to the mainland for rest and recuperation to repair it’s…well they didn’t diagnose it, so I don’t actually know. That was all well and good I suppose except I bought a cheap Toshiba to use and fool around with figure I could put Linux on it.
Indeed I can, but it appears the wireless card is strange so that won’t work and I haven’t been able to get the AT&T broadband working. Admittedly it works fine with Vista Home edition…”fine” meaning both cards work, not that I like it so it should all be possible, but it’s not looking great for ease of installation.
I can’t seem to contact the RoadRunner folks about getting their free CA security suite. They seem to be claiming I have it and, clearly, I don’t. I’ve got about 30 days left to get it before the suite that came with the laptop wants money. Sigh.
Finally on the way home from work my moped died completely with the same problem that sent it to the shop last week. Now I’m going to have to let it sit till I can afford the new engine which could be a couple of weeks or it could be a month. Sigh. Sigh.
In all it’s been an expensive week. One I can’t say I’m happy about, but what the heck, there’s nothing to do for it now. 🙂
Aloha!
