another dream with a room full of people, we were, of course, once again, making decisions. what were we making decisions about I wish I could remember
the old Sony Vaio computer we have at home in the den slash office is driving us
crazy. I think it has to do with AOL software and AOL's attempt to force Sharon to upgrade from 5.0.
AOL is slow and it takes along time for the program to load. Sharon has a limited account since all she uses AOL for is email to talk to her friends.
I need a faster connection at home so that means buying or building another compter. The old Sony blue beast is only five years old but that's an eternity in a technological time frame. A cable modem internet connection is what I need to access this page's editing and posting functions.
I want to setup a commercial web site and doing that on a dialup modem is a a recipe for pure frustration. I mean I waited two years to get this Verizon DSL account at my office but Verizon DSL isn't available at my home, so cable it is.
I figure that I can take this computer home after I build a new one and access this computer from my office using a VPN. With my own private network over the internet I'll still have access to all the files on this computer. I plan to back up my busines files this way too. That way I will have a copy of my books at home as well as a copy at the office.
Off note, it's a beautiful September day, the leaves haven't turned though you can feel that fall is right around the corner. The mosquitos are almost gone just a few straglers here and there. Flocks of birds are flying over head in a southerly direction. I see more and more opposums, skunks and squirrels get flattened on the asphalt in their attempt to gather enough food for to sustain themselves through the cold winter months. The animals know the time is short before winter falls and the ground is hard.
