bunrabFor the last couple months, my computer has had something wrong that entirely cratered IE, and also rendered Mozilla Thunderbird unusable, while rendering Mozilla Firefox just a tad glitchy. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
squirrel_magnet couldn't figure it out. Finally he called a rent-a-geek, and as of Wednesday, the bizarre interaction between our networking software and the particular firewall/antivirus software I had has been fixed. New firewall, of course. So if you were wondering why you had seen maybe 2 posts in the last 2 months, and why I haven't commented on your posts, it's because it was a nuisance getting online and so mostly I had been saying the hell with it and going off to read and knit. (I sure have been twittering from my phone a lot, though! Yay for phones!) I checked my email on the web, a nuisance, and read and replied only to the most urgent. Now that the problem has been fixed, I am just about caught up on all my email, and now I am going to read my flist. I am not going to try to read two months worth of everybody; I'll settle for a week of everybody and going further back only if something drastic seems to have happened that I missed.
Catching up on the mail made me realize just how much junk I get voluntarily. The various listservs: Biker Skum list, bunny people, crumbling-old-house DIYers, band music geeks, and more; daily tips on green living, vegetarian eating, low-fat recipes, knitting and more; weekly tips on more recipes, Excel, more knitting... sheeesh.
Anyway. Off to read some of you guys, instead of concentrating selfishly on me.
