Knittin' and Stuff....

In between computer issues, I have been doing some fiber work! I'm still working on the Athletic Socks for 3rd Son. He requested some shortie socks when I was visiting. The pink line is for the afterthought heel. Another extended family member is having a baby this summer. I 'm crocheting this half blanket/shawl with the idea of giving it to her. It's a kind of "have to" gift, or so I'm convincing myself. It may end up going the reservation.... (Why yes, I do have mixed feelings about giving her a gift, why do you ask?)

This is 3rd Grandson, son of 2nd Son. Had yet another computer "emergency" yesterday. With one hard drive being fried, we just unplugged it and plugged in the other really big hard drive and loaded Windows onto it. All went well, but the big hard drive was partitioned and everything was being loaded into the tiny area of it.

In a very brave move on my part, I downloaded a free program, EASEUS, and moved the partition! Then reinstalled everything I'd downloaded earlier and it works very well. Whew! I'm also going to be more strict with myself in uploading pictures to Photobucket.

I need a good program for editing photos offline. Any ideas?

Computer Update

Somehow, over night my hard drive was completely corrupted or erased. BFF was able to reload Windows onto another hard drive and everything is up and running, except it's not the same... and everything I had on my computer is lost. Annoying but not devastating.

I can't get the window in my browser to fit on the screen. All the text is just a bit too big. The "View" option on the tool bar doesn't help. I really hate when, too view a page I have to use the nav bar at the bottom. My tool bars are just a bit higher than they were so I have less page to look at....

Nothing I can't live with...just it's not the same. However, I'm super thankful to have a computer at all. For awhile there it looked like junk was all I had sitting on my desk.

I'm grateful, too that the wireless wasn't affected and that the Wii has internet capabilities.
