LineRider

This afternoon, I walked into the office to find Dylan mesmerized by the computer. He was making sounds like he used to do when he played with his hot wheels cars and was really enjoying himself. He said that his cousin, Caden, showed him this really cool online game today. It's called LineRider and is actually pretty addictive. I haven't been able to form a perfect track yet for the little rider guy. You've got to try it!

Computer Troubles

I have had my Toshiba laptop for nearly four years. It has worked beautifully since the day I got it and I have credited that with being selective when downloading and installing stuff. Well today, it shocked me. I took it to work with me in order to do a presentation... the office provides laptops but I just love mine, so I always use it for work, school or fun. Five minutes before the presentation was to start, I booted up my laptop only to be greeted with a DOS looking screen that said a Windows file was corrupt or missing! I freaked out because I love my laptop; not to mention I had a room full of people waiting on me to start my presentation. Luckily, I had printed many of the webpages I planned on discussing because there was nothing I could do at work to fix the laptop. The meeting went over ok, but I was worried about my laptop for the rest of the day. Once home I found the Windows XP operating disk, inserted it and booted the system from CD/DVD drive. Voile'! It worked... the CD/DVD reinstalled/repaired the corrupt file and my laptop is back up and running. Now to back up the over 9GB of photos and 3GB of music I have stored on it just "in case".
