Update

I haven't been in a blogging mood lately, mainly because of computer problems. Broadband is working OK, although the speed is a bit tardy, it is the general slowness of my computer which is driving me nuts at the moment. In spite of regular clean ups, & a recent increase in RAM, it's still not right. I'm convinced that it's all Windows fault, & I'm thinking of trying out Linux.
However, we did have one highlight recently & that was seeing Thomas when he came home for a few days R&R. We had a meal at our place for a belated birthday celebration for him. Great to have a get together again, but it would have been nice if Sam could have been there as well. I'm having probs uploading a photo of the evening, but it is in my Picasa Web Album if anyone is interested.

Testing from Home Page

Discovered the latest item from Blogger Buzz re posting to blogs from my iGoogle Home page. It looks like it could be very convenient.

Broadband Blues

A week ago I was all excited about what I wasn't going to do now that we were on broadband. After my initial foray, I found that I was unable to get an internet connection the next time I tried. I've spent hours trying to figure out what went wrong, & five calls to the Telecom Help desk, haven't been that helpful actually. However, I had some help from a techie friend today, & we decided to do a system restore. That seems to have done the trick as far as being able to connect to the internet again. I'm hoping that everything will be working again when next I hook up. In the meantime the vege garden has benefited from my frustration - it's practically weed free.
