A couple of months ago (I’m being very lenient on a couple of months), somehow one of our hard drives got corrupted. We are not sure what exactly happened, but from what I hear, the websites for downloading music could have something to do with it. My husband knows a little about computers (or claims he does) and tried to fix it himself. Somehow, he wiped one of the drives. The drive with the pictures (ironically he had just moved it that drive) and my resume. My resume was perfect and now I have to take the time to find resume templatesto try to update it and have it on file. He was mostly worried about the honeymoon pictures though. Luckily, I had put them on Snapfish a couple on months earlier so we had hard copies. I don’t like just having pictures on computers, I don’t think about them as much and don’t showcase them as much as I like to.

So every payday, I have been trying to buy something we need. Last paycheck, we bought curtains for our back room. Right now our backroom is our tv room, but eventually when we decide to have kids, we are changing the TV room into our room. The only reason for that is because I do not want a baby room with a patio door. Next week, though we are buying something that doesn’t really seem like its for the house but it is–an usb flash drive and an external hard drive. We need both for the computer because we seem to keep having problems with our computer and stuff getting erased.  

I love this thing called the internet. I do not know how what I would do without it sometimes. I would have to actually ask real people to answer my questions. I saw someone yesterday the other day with a lunch bag that said something about “Information Technolgies–we put the GUI in guidance.” I knew this had to be some sort of joke that only someone in IT would know. It bothered me so much I had to look it up on the internet immediately. I guess its the online enviroment where a program in which a program operates. It almost makes me think that there’s could be a saying for CAT5e that I wouldn’t get either!

While visiting Andy’s brother, we had all sorts of conversations about different things.  I thought it was amusing every time some topic came up and we didn’t know the answer, his brother would say check Wikipedia.  I have a feeling he checks it often.  But then we were talking about what we would do without the Internet.  Right now, his wife is going to school in Maryland and he’s in Germany.  They keep in contact with email and Skype.   I don’t know if I could that.  But also the internet helps him keep in contact with his family.  I just wish Andy would email him more.  But Andy’s not a phone person nor computer person, so he says.  I remember a time when we didn’t have the Internet, which seems so strange.  I remember when you wanted the lyrics to a song, you had to listen to the song and write them down if the lyrics weren’t in the disc jacket.  Or if you needed a recipe, you needed to find a book or go to the library for the recipe.  Or if you wanted to keep in contact with someone you had to write a letter.   

I still am getting some really strange emails lately.  At work, I had a site asking if my dick was having problems ejaculating.  Well I went right to my supervisor and said I did not do this, I’m just deletling it.  We think the firewall was down and it read I had went to Virginlifecare.com which is for my health (logging my pedometer steps).  Lately though, I have been getting emails about colon cleanser.  I have never considered it before, but I won’t say I will never.

Today at work, the girl next to be did something really stupid. She deleted everything on her desktop and in her email. Her computer was running slow and she thought that would help speed things up. She did not have any Online Backup. So now the help desk has to work hard to get everything back for her.

Backing up your files covers your ass. IBackup is an award-winning leader in computer industry for small businesses. They offer automatic backups, which is a good idea. I know I would forget otherwise. Since it is one of the most recommended provider, it excels at what it offers.

I have only been blogging for about three months, but I love it. When I was growing up all I wanted to do was to write. Payperpost gives me an opportunity to make money while doing something I love. It will make me a better writer by keeping me writing. One way that Pay Per Post works is by companies paying to advertise on blogs. It is actually a great way to advertise. This is my first post for Pay Per Post so I have not made any money yet, but I am planning on using the money on either a trip to Germany to visit my brother-in-law or to pay back the money I spent on the laptop I am writing on right now! I hope to learn a lot from the Pay Per Post forum. I can’t wait to post some more.
