Jun. 8th, 2003 01:08 pmgot up at 8 am this morning, for some reason the bleary mind got the impresion that it was noon. it wasn't. but i'm up now, and i bet everbody regrets that.
anyhow at nine or so i tried to connect to the internet and it prompted me for my password, which it shouldn't be doing.... so i opened the Remote Access Control Panel and yupper.... prefs for remote access and TCP/IP have mysteriously purged themselves. Internet? Whutchu talkin bout, WIllus?
so i've spent a few hours now trying to teach my computer how to re-connect to the internet. no easy feat without any of the jumble of odd numbers, passcodes and ip addresses needed to get through to Temple. Eventually i found an old piece of paper with all of that stuff written on it, so i'm okay there, but i was sweating bullets for a bit, and now i have to clean the living room again. But I'm wondering, how did the internet prefs kill themselves to begin with? nothing else seems affected.
