Another Update

For the casula user of the internet, all these updates and changes are getting to be a real nuisance. Every time I turn around, there is an update for WordPress or for Firefox or for some other program that I need to use every day. The WordPress updates are the hardes tones for me to deal with. I have to get my system administrator to take of that chore for me and every time he does anything for me or my blog it costs me money.

Bad Storms

I was hoping to play some games on the internet tonight, but it looks like we are having some bad storms coming this way. Any time we have thunder and lightning, I turn off the computer and unplug it so that it won’t get zapped. I lost two computers to lightning strikes already and I’m not wanting to go through that again.

Tried Pandora

Sometimes when I am on the computer for several hours at a time, I like to listen to streaming audio over the internet. A friends told me a bout a web site called Pandora. It’s free for about 40 hours worth of listening each month. After 40 hours you have to pay them a fee or find another way to listen to music while you work. For my work habits, I can use up that 40 hours pretty quick, so I have other sites I can use. But I do like the way Pandora works for the first week or so of each month.

Monk Reruns

Stayed up very late and had the TV on Channel 5 – CBS – for mindless entertainment while I tried to fall asleep. For some reason I just could not sleep. Too much on my mind, I guess. So about 3:00 am I watched a rerun of an early Monk show. It was pretty funny. Loved the cast of characters. The stories are a little trite but the interaction with the main character, Monk, is the point of the series anyway. He is a former police officer with acute psycho-socio disorders, like OCD and some Autism. But those social shortcomings are what he uses to solve the crimes. Interesting concept for a TV show.
